Whilst it does improve the look of the plastic, it is not easy to apply in small places and needs more than one application. IT'S SCIENCE - The trim Coat is a CERAMIC based product that brings out the pigments and bonds to your plastic. Its scientific formulated ceramic bonds to the uncoated surfaces bringing out the pigment and “like new” shine.

We’re so confident in our Trim Coat technology that we guarantee it to last for at least 200 washes. We will follow the manufacturer's instructions during the application process, and we will prepare the surface to ensure the best finish and best adhesion possible.

I probably "could" have used an additional wipe on the rear bumper trim, but this was all I had planned on doing for the day so didn't want to waste an additional wipe. We drove the vehicle on a dirt road to see how the rocks, dust and chips, and scratches would affect the refreshed plastic. Pick one plastic panel to start with and start applying it in the same direction consistently to ensure the best coverage and an even streak-free finish. I did get one in my door trim but the overall look is so good that nobody notices it versus the vast improvement it made on my 4 year old vehicle.

I’ve had my 240 for years but only now getting more into taking care of her myself so I appreciate any advice! If you want the coating to bond with the surface and fully and properly cure, you'll have to ensure the surface is prepared and the application is made under the right conditions.Furthermore, Cerakote is trusted by some of the world’s most advanced aerospace, automotive and technology companies due to the ceramics-based product, which brings out the pigments and bonds to plastic. You might want to avoid wind as well, as it might damage the coating before it has cured, leaving an ugly finish. Don't be fooled into purchasing "top secret" ingredient and additive products that make false claims. Cerakote ® Trim Coat is a durable ceramic coating which bonds to the pores of unpainted plastic trim, restoring it to its original appearance. What we did was use dish soap, brake cleaner fluid, a degreaser, and regular car shampoo on the treated areas once at first, then after the run, we performed the test another time.

Hint: While ceramic coatings are able to resist higher temperatures quite effectively , that refers to a coating that has fully cured on top of a surface. Try to only apply in one direction, overlapping a little on each row of product (as the instructions suggest). The idea is to remove all grease and or oils to get a completely clean surface to ensure a good bond.The best bit is it's a ceramic coating so won't come off as far as I have seen from other comments on the net.

IT didn't lose any of its hydrophobic properties or shine or that deep revitalized pigment it gave the plastic once it was used. IF anything happens with this product of the final-product after applied, I'll come back here and update.

Treat it like fast drying paint and just make a couple of straight Passes with the little applicator cloth while it is still very wet. Put on the gloves they've provided in the kit and open one of the pouches containing the ceramic coating wipes.
