Product review
Professional dye-infused formula: This restorer uses a pigment-rich dye mixed into a penetrating carrier designed for aged automotive plastics, vinyl and rubber. It penetrates faded surfaces to restore a rich black tone rather than only sitting on top.
Long-lasting protection: The waterproof, weather-resistant finish is engineered to hold up through rain, snow and frequent washes, with many users reporting protection lasting several months between applications.
Simple one-coat process: The product is formulated for a single-coat application in most cases. The package includes the restorer and the applicator materials you need for a quick restoration session — ideal for both DIYers and detail shops.
Wide compatibility: Suitable for exterior bumpers, mirror housings, door handles, window surrounds and many interior plastic and vinyl surfaces. It conceals light scratches and surface scuffs while evening out color on sun-damaged pieces.
Made in the USA with premium ingredients: Crafted domestically from quality components to deliver a deep, penetrating finish rather than a temporary surface shine. Available in multiple container sizes to suit small touch-ups or larger jobs; satisfaction guarantee provided.

Long-lasting on my Tahoe
Transformed faded grey trim on my 2004 Tahoe. After two years I only need a few touch-ups per season. A small amount covers a lot — lasts much longer than many other products I tried.

Mixed results on different vehicles
Worked on most pieces but struggled on one badly damaged fender. About 80% success on my samples; results were uneven across different plastics. I'll test durability over a few washes.

Easy to apply but messy
Application was straightforward and it restored the color well. It will stain fingers — wear gloves. Used a brush to get into crevices and wiped paint clean without trouble. Waiting to see how long it lasts.

Great for sun-damaged plastics
Highly recommended for reviving plastics that have been bleached by the sun. Easy rejuvenation.

Took years off an older Volvo
I used this on a 2004 Volvo with heavily faded trim. It’s dye-based, so it actually colored the plastic back to near-black. I left it on a bit longer than suggested and wiped clean easily — paint stayed spotless. Treated plastic, vinyl and rubber all improved; car looks much younger now. Time will tell on longevity, but so far I'm pleased.
