I use this product twice a year on my avalanche Only product that has Worked for me. And it’s only $10 It’s dirt cheap Compared to other products That don’t even come close to this product results
So does it last about 6 months before the fade starts to show again?
Thats what i want to know?
You just answered my question on how often irs gotta be used. Thank you. Now do you wipe it down later to remove any oily film? If so does it work to keep from attracting dirt dust and crap ?
How many bottles does it take to do an avalanche?
@@bigbob4191did you fix your aval plastics ?
Would be nice to hear you along with video but the 80's porn music is a bit loud...
Lmmfaaaaoooo
Jajajaj jajajaja 80 porn music lol
I agree 😂😂
Yeah, that "background" music has to go! Geeeez..... (I honestly had to stop the video, as I just couldn't take that music anymore.) :-/
😂
Watched the video and ordered some for my Avalanche from Amazon. It worked like a charm thanks Daniel!!!!
This has been my go to for restoring the plastic on my Avalanche since I first got it in March of 2020. It's easier just to give you truck a good washing. And don't worry about the panels. I weigh about 200 pounds, and I can stand on them, though I usually take them off to do the top. Motthers Back To Black is also a very good product. Don't even try Armor All. It won't work. It's like putting water on it. And don't forget to put something on the rubber seals on the panels, and if you have the sunroof, do them also. It keeps them from drying out and leaking. You can use Armor All on them. Thanks for the video! Great information.
THANK YOU! Just did this today on our Avalanche and it was amazing. Was terribly faded , now looks like new.
Do the plastics still stay black after washing the truck?
@@jesusmane1304 Ours has so far. Been on for about 6 weeks now and washed 2x and been in rain.
@@linr7342 okay thanks Im going to go ahead and buy it
Thanks for the video. My dad and I just tried this on my avalanche and it looks amazing. Appreciate the tips, too:)
Clean the faded plastic with white vinegar and a scotch brite pad first then treat with restorer product and it will look new instantly
Nice tip, going to give it a try..
@@kw57rx8dr.9 Super late to comment but how did it turn out?
Not as well as I had hoped, when you put it side by side like this it is more dramatic then when doing it and it is a lot of work for a fairly temporary result. I ended up using a heat gun to recondition it and it was a lot of work, but worked really well and stayed long enough for me to trade it for an E350 Mercedes I was still driving until a deer shortened it's life a few weeks ago.@@Mxniac28
I tried some of this stuff but only lasted a couple of months. I said heck with that and started using KIWI Black liquid shoe polish and I did not have to polish it or anything.
when I would get just a little bit on the paint it would wipe off very, very easy with a paper towel or rag. I did all the black areas with one bottle of the shoe polish and had some left over. The KIWI Black shoe polish was just a little bit over $4 at Walmart. It has been on for over 3 months and still doesn't need another application yet. I can't guarantee it will suit your needs, but it sure works great for my 2004 Avalanche.
That's a very good insight. Thank you.
I thought about KIWI too how is it holding up after 6 months? Has it run or dripped on the paint?
Does it get on your clothes?
Awesome....hope it doesn't fade back after washing..it brought your plastic back to life...
used it on my used Av just purchased and it worked great. mine was almost a white grey from color fade. nice and black now.
actually works. we tried it.
Great tip I have tried this and works great, finally got over it and started to use a heat gun. Works better give it a try
Heat gun trick works for 20 minutes😁
You did a great job on your truck , I need to do that to my 02 avalanche 👍👍
Looks just like mine. Color and all!! Love it!!
Painting works fine....krylon fusion looked perfect after 5 years when I sold it
Lol I was thinking that then it will match the truck..(escalade)
what can I use if the material is felt (under the back windows - where the speakers are)?
Is there a coating to seal it in? Concerned about how long this will last through the harsh snow where I live and through car washes.
certainly will try this out
Appreciate the video just got a 2010 avalanche and ganna grab some bottles of this now
Will the black stay if you wash the truck
If you can't find this product, try Mothers Back To Black. It works great also!
Looks so good!!!
Looks good, looks like new.
Looks nice. Gonna try this out.
Does it give an estimation as to how long an application will last before needing another fix?
Nice video thanks
Gonna be buying this stuff for my avalanche just to see how it works. Some people say it does or does not. I mean either way, no matter if it's cheap or something better, I'm sure it's 50/50 either way.
Thanks for the video
You should try Car System Restorer. You'll never use anything else. A $32 can will last for many applications. Your plastic will look like new for a year or more. I'm not paid by anyone. It just works perfectly.
How does it hold up in the car wash? I like to power wash mine.
God the music is driving me nuts.
Best stuff I found I usually got put 3 applications on to get it black, then every month I just buy a 5 dollar tire shine foam spray can, keeps it fresh
It v. Nice. Will not think about painting by black
Grasias salvaste mi avalanch ya la. iba avender pro el pastico😯
I used Wipe New . Lasts a year. Springtime project so the truck looks great for the summer
That stuff works good!
ive tried other stuff.. "wipe new" is the best...it didnt streak down the side of the truck or wash off like the other stuff did..
Awesome
good tip
Thanks for the tip however,, painting with the proper paint is possible and that paint is plastic bumper trim paint..Suggestion, next time when restoring the cover do like mopping a floor and work your way to the outsides from the inside, much easier to access.
Looks like there is some curing time - good to know.
@2:15 this music plays in my head as I restore my Avalanche 💪
How good is this product?
Can ya wash it after a day or so ??
And how many times do we have to use the product???....
nice
How long does it last?
Ive been using the Maguires since I cant find the Woody's anymore and I don't think its that good! Takes way more scrubbing and doesn't last as long. Glad you all had good results maybe forthe first time but subsuquent aplications don't workasgood.
So how many bottles total did you use? Cause my avalanche needs this.
I am going to do the heat gun approach
Used 4 bottles of black trim spray paint took me hours after taping everything and then I see this lol
Looks like a lot of work for something you have do twice a year? SEM makes Paint/Dye for different plastics, it never chips, I don't know how long before it fades again, it is at least a few years. Anyone out there used the SEM stuff?
How many bottle would o need for the whole truck?
I've had my Avalanche since March of 2020. I have used only one bottle on mine, and I have just started on my second bottle. It will last for several months, depending on how often you wash your truck, and how often it rains. I guess that would depend on your location. Also, I think that in the SW US, it would get more sun, and need to be applied a little more often. Mine seems to hold up for about 4-6 months. Both products do not contain any coloring or dyes. They just renew the finish. They will work on any black trim on your vehicle.
Maquires tire black sprays takes no rubbing whatsoever
Ill be surprised if the oily fim you said is left behind doesnt attract dirt and dust like most other products.
Once it has had time to set or cure, you can wash your vehicle, and it will be fine. It will not attract dirt and dust, anymore than the rest of your vehicle. No greasy residue left behind. If you can apply it in the morning, let it sit all day in the sun, and you can then wash it. That will get rid of any left over residue. I noticed that after I did mine for the first time, with Mothers, it rained, and I could see where the residue had run down the sides of the truck.
@@pg1171 thanks for the input. Greatly appreciate it. This is an 80 year old friends truck hes had since new. It looks great except for the faded plastic and the plastic that actually encases the rear windshield. Hes never removed ut or opened the cab access but i noticed some water stains on the inside and found the plastic attached to the perimeter of the actual glass was broken on the bottom left about 4" from the corner and the upper right about the same distance from the corner. I looked for a replacement piece but didnt have any luck. If you or anyone knows if that piece is available please let me know. I dont want to replace the rear windshield if i can keep from it. Thanks again
Sounds like an Early 90's porrn
just use Teak Oil Youll be glad you did
you can purchase this item from the link in the description below
after a few washes does it Wash OFF and Go Back to Faded PLASTIC
Try Mothers Back To Black. It lasts longer on my Avalanche.
How long does it last and where do i get it ??
You can find the link in the description. You can get it from Amazon or Walmart
@@DanielDican how long does the treatment last???
Hahaha as an avalanche owner there are two colors of cladding light grey and dark grey but never straight black. The dark grey almost looked black as I'll admit, but when these people who put the dyed black restoration products on start to wear off it looks terrible and blotchy. Heat guns wreck the texture appearance and make the plastics more brittle over time..there is unfortunately no permanent restore product. I like mothers back to black that's safe for all colors of plastics, very similar to meguiars and depending the severity more than one application will be needed. If you do have black trims the dyed stuff will be ok. The most important thing I've found for my cladding is to clean it thoroughly with a stiff scrub brush like a deck scrub and dawn dish soap. Dont use regular wax enhanced car soaps for this process it is a cause in discoloration of trims and plastics. Also these products dont apply well in direct sunlight or after the plastics have baked in the sun all day and let them cure before adding another coat or getting wet. I like to do my trims and plastics first then I can do the painted surfaces and not be like i just got that on my freshly cleaned fender. Once the products cure they dont wash off easily and soaps and water should bead off.
Try Chemical Guys VRP! Amazing product!
I whole heartedly agree! I also use Mothers Back to Black on mine. It works great! Took two applications when I first got the Avalanche in March of 2020, but it holds up well for several months.
You could also cover it in motor oil which is basically what you have done. Its greasy and oily and will pick up any and all dust around. Their are so many other/ professional solutions that will solve this issue personally
You are correct Garrett but this solution costed me $5. Not sure how much other methods cost.
Why are you just negative?
What solutions are you referring to? Cost effective?
Can I still wash it and it will stay black?
Yes you can. It's actually easier than rubbing the plastic down later, and you get a clean truck out of it! Also, Mothers Back To Black works just as well. I usually use that on mine.
How many bottles did you need?
i think 1
Probably 3/4 of the bottle for the whole truck
Does it attract bugs???
no
Very cool music!
How many bottles for the whole truck?
Maybe 3/4 bottle.
Maximum 1 bottle for the whole truck
Bottle says it only lasts for weeks? How long did it last?
Try Forever Black, you can get it on Amazon. It's a dye and it'll last a couple years atleast.
@@carlitos5565 I saw a video where a guy used a map gas torch to renew it.. it worked perfectly! Permanent fix until it starts to naturally fade all over again.
I used Mothers, no dyes involved, and it lasts about 4-6 months, depending on how often you wash your vehicle, the amount of rain you get, and how much sun it gets. Should last you at least 4 months. I live in the SE US, and mine lasts between 4 and 6 months.
Bondo brand of Back to Black (Walmart) $!0.00, works better, lasts longer. I use garage, but have not had to redo the black plastic in a least four years.
Hows it $0.00? Did you steal it?
How’s the shine a year later
I wish I could tell you but I don't have that truck anymore. Sold it to get a F150
Daniel Dican your a terrible person for that! The Avalanche community will never forgive you 😤 but we would love to welcome in who ever you sold it to 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@prolly2stoned420 Yeah but at least he doesn't have to drive that Avalanche anymore
Jett-Rampart Flyer that’s not a good thing neither is the fact I still have to drive your mom 😩
@@prolly2stoned420 Bullshit, my Mama is pushing 900 and eats whole chickens for brunch bro 🐔 if u been haulin' Mama, u need new springs. Don't fall for her gravitational pull trick its all BS pseudoscience
Don’t you have to start with washing it first?
between that awful music and the wind noise -- ugh. I appreciated the tip though
You are right about the wind and music.
Use a heat gun or a torch its super easy and it lasts did mine and it looks new. You don't have to worry about washing the plastics other just when your using heat Act as if your painting and you don't want to create a drip in the paint
never use a heat gun. heat burns off the oxidation yes but it hurts the plastics ability to absorb oils like the one he is using until eventually the plastic is ruined.
See that's the thing I tried and tried and tried nothing worked bought stuff recommended and more expensive stuff but no results it would just dry up and mind you that was before I used heat. So if nothing works what would you suggest?????
@@michaelwazny5851 Sand them down and paint or use bed liner. I mean paint like the Cadillac's so a 2 part primer, paint, then clear to make sure its permanent.
True enough thanks ill do all the cladding
Hey Daniel! How long does it last?
Robert, I can tell you that will last at least 2 months, after that I can't say anything because I sold the truck. But I really liked that way worked and looked.
Holy shit man, turn the music up a little higher, I can still kinda hear you
Get a bottle of armoraall will restore all composite
Tried it. Didn't work. Just like putting water on it. Wasted an entire bottle, and as soon as I would move to a different area, it was back to gray again.
Until it rains!
best to watch this video with the sound off
its only 8.44 at walmart
You should turn the music up…
All that oily residue should tell you something about the product.
Richard Scott. I am not sure about the quality of this product but because its oily keeps the water off and stayed on pretty well.
What should it tell me? Is it melting the plastic? I need to know!
@@prolly2stoned420 This stuff is self-combustibel. After using it, the rags burst into flames after sitting for about 15 minutes. The oily residue may be a contributing factor.
Richard Scott bro no way that sounds crazy
I like your video but between the wind noise and the background noise I could barely hear the words being spoken. I under stand wind noise is difficult to control however please get rid of the disco music that made it extremely difficult to hear. When I tried to turn volume up for voice I got louder music lose-lose!!
Daniel,
You need to review your videos before making them public. Besides the wind blowing into the microphone, you have music playing in the background which is not only annoying but over takes your voice, making it extremely difficult to hear you. You might think it adds to your video, but it does just the opposite. You need to cut the music out and we'll be able to hear you a lot better. Thank you
I have tried the product and Yes it does the job. Makes my Avalanche look new again.
only works for a while and it drips and runs on paint
It's possible. I don't deny it.
Your background music is too loud. It's now foreground music and your voice is background noise.
The product is good but the music sucks.
Here’s a link to the background song Truckee, I always listen to it when I apply this product to my AVY. Great video and music !! I could use a little more of it.
ruclips.net/video/uGSJlOYwIxE/видео.html
sorry the music is annoying
Get rid of the background music.
Your music is mixed WAY to high, makes it difficult to hear you.
Could that music be any more annoying?
Cant hear u man
I would recommend Plasti dipping, this solution lasts much longer
Been there and Noo it peels off
Annoying music 🙈
Too much like work.🙁
am I the only dumbass who burned their plastics
Get rid of music
The music.. Annoying.
Sound sucks!!
Yes it does. Sorry
I try thís product. Doesn’t last... just wasted money. Save ur money better guys.
Why do people wreck their how-to videos with stupid fkn music added to it?? At least keep the music off when you're talking and low during parts in between.
