The Process
Why Restoration Beats
Spray-On Shine.
Store-bought dressings wash off in weeks. We restore the trim itself and seal it, so the deep black holds up through washes and weather.
Deep Clean
Trim is scrubbed free of wax residue, old dressing, and embedded grime so the restorer can bond to bare plastic.
Prep & Dry
Surfaces are fully dried and surrounding paint is protected — the restorer belongs on the trim, not your clear coat.
Restore
A professional-grade trim restorer is worked into the plastic — not sprayed over it — bringing back the factory deep black.
Protect
A protective finish seals the trim against UV so it stays black — instead of fading back in a few weeks.

FAQ
Trim Questions
What is trim restoration?
Exterior plastic and rubber trim — bumper trim, mirror caps, door handles, window surrounds, cowl panels, fender flares — turns gray and chalky from UV exposure. We deep-clean it, restore the deep black color, and seal it with a protective finish so it stays that way.
How much does it cost?
$100 as a standalone service, or $80 when you add it to any detail, paint enhancement, or headlight restoration — a $20 bundle savings. The bundle price doesn't apply with pressure-washing-only jobs.
How long does it take?
About 1 hour at your driveway. Fully mobile — we bring everything, including our own water and power. You don't need to be home, just leave the vehicle accessible.
How long does it last?
Far longer than spray-on shine. Store-bought dressings wash off in a few weeks; our restoration works the product into the plastic and locks it in with a protective finish, so the deep black holds up through washes and weather — typically a year or more depending on sun exposure.
Why did my trim turn gray?
UV rays dry out the oils in plastic and rubber, and the surface oxidizes — the same reason headlights fog up. Cars that park outside fade fastest. Restoration replenishes and protects the trim rather than just painting over it.
Is this the same as a spray-on trim dressing?
No. Spray-on dressings add temporary shine and wash off in weeks. Heavily faded, gray trim needs the full restoration — a deep clean, a dedicated restorer worked into the plastic, and a protective seal. That's what this service is.
