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.

  1. Roger J. 5/5

    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.

  2. Paul and cheryl 3/5

    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.

  3. Maria E castillo 5/5

    Makes trim look very sharp

    Did a quick touch-up and the trim looks noticeably nicer. Simple to use and effective.

  4. Leslie Teran 5/5

    Like-new appearance

    Applied as directed and the pieces popped back to a near-factory look.

  5. pauly 5/5

    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.

  6. Raidel Torres Rodriguez 4/5

    Great for sun-damaged plastics

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

  7. Exodus 5/5

    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.
