• The Best Headlight Res...
After 2 decades of using every possible Black Trim coat, I FINALLY found the best trim coat product.
This is for the black plastic trim on any car or vehicle, that inevitably turns chalky gray or white over time.
This is an easy to use wipe on system (wear a glove!) directly to the plastic.
The results are not only instant, but lasts for years.
I have been using this product for 2 years now and vehicles that I applied the trim coat to ate still looking 100%!
I live in the California sun, which beams down incessantly, with barely a cloudy day break.
Here is where you can get the Cerakote product:

Also if you want the best Aluminum polish, I tested a dozen products and found the very best one.

No rain for the next 24 hours? Try living in England this spring. This never happens.
lol
Building roof over your garage (if you have one) would help.
No garages either 😮
Or summer 😂
@@tealhearts5455 Yes, or summer. Whatever that is.
I have had similar results from Ammo Frame.
Can you use it on dashboards & inside of the doors?
You could. Always do a test area.
I have used it on powder coated surfaces too and brings them back to new. I have a video about that too. but get the 4oz bottle, it will go.much farther!
@@CruisingTheLand thank you
Can u please send me the link for this
It should be in the description.. $16.88 on Amazon for a 10 pack!

Too many negative aspects !
Do not put on smooth trim! It will start flaking off in about 2 years. It does last well on textured trim. Attention2Detail has a video about it. Throughly cleaning the trim is a must, or you won’t get good results. There is nothing you can do to remove it once it is on, so making sure the trim is clean is essential.
Flood Penetrol for oil based paint works just as well and costs $14 a quart which you can do your car at least 50 times if it ever needs it.
The product is phenomenal and lasts for years even on a vehicle that lives outside in the sun and extreme heat ONLY
If you follow the directions and properly prep the surface first.
Secondly, make sure you are careful not to allow any streaking when applying with a new applicator sheet. Any streaking will dry with high and low spots or differences in coverage.
This product is a Ceramic liquid product and once dried cannot be removed without sanding. There is you can apply to it that will remove it without damaging the plastic.
Make sure it looks perfect when you apply it.
The best way to get the perfect long lasting results is to wash the car, decontamination using isopropyl alcohol, then apply when dry. Love this product!
You can use dawn liquid to remove it with a sponge
What works the best for the decontamination- the dawn or the alcohol?
@darlenerothenay6251 Dawn breaks all grease down. Then rubbing alcohol decons anything remaining and dries completely.
@@RCCustoms73 Thank you so much. This is a big help!
dawn.. which is a degreaser, no need for alcohol.
Ran into this SAME issue today while detailing a friend's car! Considered running to the store to get some Cerakote Trim Restorer after running out of my Stoner's Trim Shine...😮💨 Will know what to use next time! Thanks for posting!!
I HAVE USED THIS PRODUCT!! IT WORKS LIKE SHOWN. I HAVE A 2015 CAMARO SS. THE GRILLS AND REAR DEFUSER ARE ALL PLASTIC. AFTER 9 YEARS OF LIVING IN THE TEXAS SUN(NO GARAGE) THEY WERE A LIGHT GRAY COLOR. IT MADE THEM LOOK BRAND NEW! GREAT REVIEW!!
Thanks !! So true! I did it on a 2020 Gladiator, on faded powdercoat too.. went black as new.
Have not tried it, but last year I used cerakote headlight restore kit on my old land cruiser. It worked amazing and a year later it has held up, so I have no doubt it would work. I plan to get some.
Poor Boy's Everlasting Trim Restorer is another good performer. Saw it tested with a bunch of others, on another channel.
I’ve used Ceracoat. It was by far the best and lasted the longest. It was a little too expensive for my daily driver. That said, I ll be buying it again for my new truck.
Hello I have shared this video to someone else they were looking for this for there plastic on the car
I hate DMCA. AC/DC, Back in Black would have been perfect for this video.
Maguilars Paint Protect on cleaned plastic and rubber TRIM works for years
whatever product you may use, it will last for 1-2 weeks or less....instead, you should paint it black and that's it !
No. Absolulely not!
I have used this on Powder coated items (roof rack, bumpers...) and it brings it back to like new! AND will last lomger and stay blacker than having it re-powder coated.
2 weeks? Try over 2 years, then re- apply!!
And yoi are suggestinf to paint your black plastic on a car with Black paint?!? NO! You will devalue the vehicle... Even after watching this full video, you learned nothing!
According to projectfarm,cerakote performed the best.
How far do those teeny Wipes last for /Cover ??.
Often wipes dry / wear out .. Annoyingly quickly.
Yes, thats why the link also has a 4oz bottle, which goes a long way.
Here in th UK it will cost you £43.!!
A $2.99 bottle of mineral oil will give you the same results.
I've tried this twice. 2 different boxes/kits. every cloth was nearly dry. I wouldn't buy again unless they do a liquid form.
Yes, they have a liquid form. The Pro pack. With application sponges.. The only way to go!
@@CruisingTheLand Thanks!
That's why I save my receipts for most everything I buy, just in case of issues like that.
I purchased this for my 16 year old Toyota , haven't tried it yet cause it's been too hot outside. My black trim looks soooooo bad . I've seen many videos on this stuff and it looks like I'll be in for a shock if it works like they say it does . Can't wait to try it !!!!
Let us know!
Works great on the mud flaps too!
Back to black sucks don't know how it ever got to production
It's always less expensive in eBay. Same products are usually more expensive on Amazon.
Ha you tried the ExoForma. Pleas let me know. Thank you
no I haven't
This stuff is hit or miss. On the cowl, like this video, it worked great. On my front bumper where the plastic was smoother, it made a mess. Spotting and streaking everywhere. Was hoping it would be gone by now, but dam it’s holding up.
Ax far as getting it on the paint, it’s a ceramic coating. If it cures, have fun getting it off.
Honestly, the applicators suck. The wet wipe style is trash for a product like this. The coating automatically transfers to your gloves, then watch what you touch.
I think this product being actually black as opposed to a clear or white liquid works so much better. Yes it's messy but well worth it!❤👍🏴
The product is not black. You are not staining the plastic. The product is clear.
I bought some based on this video. It WORKS! I've tried several different types but this works best! Thanks
Awesome! You and me both! Since this video, I have tried their Tire Coat and paint peotect. My new favorite detailing products! I will be uploading my Tire video, and will be doing my neighbor's E63 AMG headliggts rhis weekend..I will post that too.
I agree, it does work well. However, I wish they sold it in a spray container. I used 6 wipes alone on my truck. It can get pretty costly.
Funny, I used it on the same area of my 2019 Highlander and can't get over the excellent results!
Nice!
The little wipes that are used to apply it are crap. They need a better application system
they do! The Pro pack. Which is a bottle and sponge wipes.. Alot more of the solution. It's on my link and goes to Amazon for the best pricing.
Thinking same thing. I don’t like the wipe idea. Too easy to drop. I bought a product from turtle wax and it’s outstanding. Comes in a bottle
@@tdz69 They have a 4oz bottle. Thats what I use now, especially for big prpjects.
Is there any reason why you haven't demonstrated it on INTERIOR trim or is it simply for exterior use ?
Can be used on any plastic, inside and out. Always do a test area first.
@@CruisingTheLand So why haven't you demonstrated this ??
ok, I will.. coming up nexr video
I have used this from his recommendation and it really does work that good! DO NOT get it on your white paint as it stained mine. Even the Toyota single stage white. Just be careful of that. My detailer couldn't get it out after buffing the paint. Anyone who knows how to get that out, I am all ears. Great product, though.
Glad it worked, sorry to hear about the white paint... Hmmm, it does say 200 washes.. I wonder if you use Unisolve to remove off the white? Single stage paint very different than paint with clear coat. I haven't had that experience. I suppose tape off either blue tape to be extra sure it doesn't touch paint. Try very light wet sand then buff with 400 Menzerna (best compound).
@@CruisingTheLand It was absolutely not your fault, but my own. I didn't obey the directions on the packet. I am an idiot sometimes. The stuff really does work great! Thanks for the advice on removing the residue! Appreciate you Brother.
It works but what I was trying to do it wasn’t bringing the black out sadly
Used this on my brand new BMW cowl trim piece. It ruined it. That is a $150 piece of trim plus an hour's labor down a hole. I have tried Cerakote on other surfaces and it worked OK. If you get it on paint or glass remove it immediately, or you will have a very hard time removing it.
Always do a test area. This is not for painted parts, and some plastics or rubberized plastics are not the same!
Been looking for this! Thank you for sharing!
This timeline doesn't add up though. If you used it a year and a half ago, why are you just using it on your Civic now? I can't see why you wouldn't do that first thing even if you got it a month ago. Unless this is someone else's car. I'll keep watching
I used it 2 years ago on my wife's LX570 rear kick plate. Then put it on the Civic. Like Franks red hot sauce, I put that sh-- on everything!
I agree, that stuff is the best.
You definitely want to make sure it is bone dry
It left some white spots I couldn’t get out on new trim I was treating to prevent fade.
We have the same car! Im actually cleaning it up to sell because kids and stuff. Love this car, going to be sad to see it go:'(
Is this last long?
yes 200 washes..I put it on a rear plastic kick plate on a LX570 3 years ago, only in half. Still black to this day and other side faded grey.
Great Video. Can this be used on black plastic, my son wants to restore his original xbox black plastic shell.
it should, doesn't hurt to try.
Peanut oil is just as fast and easy, and you don't even need to wear gloves if you don't want to. Lasts about six months in a mixed sun and rain climate, costs almost nothing per use, non-toxic. It does protect the plastic surprisingly well from UV and moisture, too. It's usually in the Baking aisle.
Mine has lastes over 2 years and still black aftee countless washes (about 30) and relentless sun. I prefer that then applying peanut oil every 6 months. If you are doing it every 6 months, its because by month 4 its not 100% and by month 6 its less than 50% becauae visually you feel thr need to do it again..
What product is it?
link is in description
Let me know when he tell product,you'll soon pass his blog😊
I've been using Cerakote wipes for several years now. Not terribly expensive for what you get.
Try their 4oz bottle!
I've seen this product on TV and never been able to find it in any stores been using McGuire's Back to Black and that last about a week or so because I've been looking for something to restore my tri-fold bed cover. I'm almost at the point where I was going to have it painted but I guess I'll keep looking for this product.
The link to buy it is in my description. Get the pro pack (for detailers) it is Lots more productive than the 10 wipes, especially for the tri fold. I did this on a powder coated roof rack, and brought it back to new! I was about to pay $300 to a powdercoater, plus take 2 hours removing, driving there etc... So glad I used this instead. That video is also on my YT: ruclips.net/video/Ugmwj9gpO0M/видео.html
Good job, I use over the counter generic silicone spray, has great results cost a fraction of the cost of these claimed wonder products that don't work.
ruclips.net/video/Ugmwj9gpO0M/видео.html watch that Bro!
This is excellent and Walmart sells it. I’ve been a detailer for 25 years and prep is so important. Clean with rubbing alcohol first to get all the old products off. Will stay good for years and at least 100 washes.
Do you wash your truck then put alcohol on plastic then coat it or alcohol it first and coat only
@MR.RIGHT_9mm wash as normal, then when 100% dry, put the cerakote
wonder how it compares to solution finish
Completely diff products. This is a ceramic coat. Solution Finish is a restoration product with milled carbon that "dyes" the faded plastic back to original black. To see head to head search for comparison videos. I know Apex detailing did one & scott HD (I think) I'm searching & learning about these for my Saturn Vue with faded plastic. How the 2 products compare will depend alot on what the plastic is made of. There is a nissan exterra that used the Cerakote product on all plastics. Some held up some faded again horrible in 1 year. Its very dependant on the plastic.
Bought a clean 2005 GMC Canyon P/U that had never been shown attention to the solid vinyl bumpers trim. They were a weathered ashen grey and looked terrible. Decided to try Cerakote, keeping the Walmart receipt just in case it didn't live up to all the claims. Followed directions which included a full degrease/rinse/drying of surfaces. Parking in the shade, I began the application properly. It instantly SOAKED in & turned the faded vinyl dark as I spread the application towelette across & around until it finally was used up. Got about half the bumper treated with the one pad's application. The results were nothing less than IMPRESSIVE. It darkened the faded grey back to a dark grey with a nice bit of shine/gloss. Finished the entire bumper with a second new pad & it's been about 2 years without degradation. Not quite as shiney as before, but another treatment in the plans later in year. Easily worth the $$ and proudly show others the results. One "Happy Camper" 😃
Awesome! Since this video, I got the 4oz bottle of Cerakote with application pads..Definitely worth it. I did an entire Jeep Gladiator and not.just plastic, but powder coated aftermarket parts that weathered..ait made the faded powdercoat look like new again!! Love it!
@@CruisingTheLand --That's great; may I ask where you were able to find/buy the 4oz bottle & pads ? Sounds like something I would be interested in ! Thanks....
@@RockinProfessor its in my link in the description of the video.
@@RockinProfessor www.amazon.com/shop/landcruiser949
@@CruisingTheLand ---Thankyou for your help/info... Saw this 4oz product on Amazon. A couple of questions: Do you think that this type of Cerakote is more economical in the long run than boxes of 8 reg size wipes sold ? Also, can the foam applicators be reusable, after cleaned with some type of solvent, or do they work just once then dry up hard like the pads do ?
Whaffle Whaffle Whaffle, just tell us what it is .
You can always go directly to the description.
Trust me and well last I put it on year 2022 It faded in 2024😊
And then you simply re-coat!
It's probably a silicone based emulsion
I tried it and lasted few months not impressed
That's odd. I have had it 2 years on a rear kick plate. Still Black.
Used Cerakote on my 2015 Toyota 1 year ago. It is perfect
Someone has this locked up in Australia… $16USD vs $54 AUD…. And they wonder why they don’t do any good over here…
you are probably looking at the 4oz bottle which is $49 here. Its alot more trim coat than the 10 wipes. www.amazon.com/shop/landcruiser949
@@CruisingTheLand nope. I always match like for like. I don’t even think the bottle came up as an option because I always go for the better value option
I’ve tried them all but best results are just to spray with a satin black rattle can.
wow, that's a irreversible move. Try cerakote first!
I've had very good results with Penetrol, but I'll check this out
We were looking for something to bring back the trim and bumpers of her wrangler and we found a product called GX-3. Walmart sells it for $5 a spray can..we love it!!
Any idea who makes the GX-3?
why can it not be posted to the uk
Clean well and then apply black shoe polish,only a tiny bit though and leave to dry.
Will the Black shoe polish last 200 cars washes? BTW, the Cerakote is clear, and not black..So it's not staining it.
Its not bad but its hard to apply to large surfaces. I did my Honda Element with it last year. Couldn't get the uneven greasy look out.
Trick to keeping black black is don't get wax on it. Wax turns white. Don't run your car through an auto car wash with spray wax at the end.
what happens when you get it on the paint? Black on a black car is an easy hide. Let's see it on a white car and see what happens when it gets on white paint.
Just wipe it off.. right away
Or do the paint protect first by Cerakote, then the trim. So you've protected the paint 😜
Cerakote is the best; true restorer with no silicone or greasy ingredients. Make sure to wash the plastic, I use dawn (diluted) to make sure all contaminants are gone.
I use Griots Garage trim restorer and this probably beats it, except it’s wayyy more expensive. I also mod and refurbish gaming console and these types of products are amazing for making a 20 year old ps2 look new.
Yes, I have tried Griots. I use Griots ceramic green car spray and love it. But their black trim restorer is not in the same league as the Cerakote.. Its worth the extra, as it's not the same product nor end results.
@@CruisingTheLand oh I’m going to give it a shot for sure thru your affiliate link. Hey by the way your video comparing the different land cruisers was invaluable to me. I’ve been going to see used ones for sale for three years, but never found one in very good condition, until last month I found a garage kept 06 LX in pearl white where all services were done at the Lexus dealership until 175k. It now has 239k but it is in pristine condition inside and out. Thanks so much for making those comparison videos!! Getting 33” ko2 tires installed next week and a ARB deluxe bumper installed next month. Lessss Goooo!
@@CruisingTheLandhey what do you use for leather care in the LX/LC 100 series?
Adam's Super VRT (vynil, rubber, tire)! Good for 4 months. Won't allow water spots. Not oily!
would this product work on my plastics on my grill?
Yes, absolutely. I got the Pro Bottle, and did an entire Jeep, grill, sliders, rack etc... Did a video on my channel as well
Don’t use this product. I will turn to crap in a week. You can’t get it off you will have to re paint. The company is no help at all.
Found it on Amazon, cheers bud.
I haven’t tried this yet. I did have awful good results with it. New wipe or something like that. A yellow box is usually sold at the checkout counter. Held up for years on the pickup. Not greasy at all covers anything black rubber.
It seems to do same has c4
It’s a clear coating. The same coating used when restoring headlamps.
Mines under the sun here in Florida! After treatment can you get a car cover uv protectant?
I use black magic or pig spit because they both come in spray cans and is much easier to use
It's been out for awhile now.. Nothing New
not new to you, but nee to many that didn't know about it..
Use ceramic on it, same result
What ceramic? They are not all created equal
Whats the best thing to use inside the car?
Soap and water.
i like Jay Lenos garage plastic protector
WHY ?
Just bought it based on this video. We have Land Cruisers too!
WOW!!!!
Thanks!
Will it work well on rubber trim that is around the around moon roof? It's pretty faded and almost cracked
it's worth a try! I think it will.
@@CruisingTheLand awesome.

I would use 303 Protectant regularly as a preventtive measure . Spray on directly , let set for a few minutes , wipe in and wipe off with a clean microfiber towel .
PREVENTS FROM WHAT? it doesnt block uv AT ALL. 0..... no effect on uv. proven many times by many youtubers showing results with uv light measurment inrument.
I don't see it on the link. 6 other products but not that one.
should be there, cerakote is the black product
It's the 6th one bottom of page..Open it and it shows 2 Cerakote products.. its the 2nd one, the wipes.
Do not get it on the paint it will not come off!!!
yes, careful with paint..
Thank you for that tip
Very informative video. Quick question. I see that this product was applied on the window surround trim and beltline trim on the doors, which is typically a rubberized plastic trim as opposed to a fully plastic trim. Is this product safe for the rubberized plastic trim in addition to a fully plastic trim such as the windshield cowl? Do you find it nets the same results and durability?Thank you.
yes best rule of thumb try a test area. I put this on Roam cases, Pelican cases and 23 zero cases too, and works on the rear black rubber flaps on a Land Cruiser
Thank you for sharing this information. Anxious to give this a try.
Do a test area, as not all plastics are the same..
Can you make a video of your landscaping :) the front yard looks great!
So, what is the product?
Where do u get that at
Link to Amazon in my Description
How about on tires?
no, not for tires..I have a video coming up for tires soon! A product I am testing and so far so good! video up soon
@@CruisingTheLand The Cerakote made the trim look like it was literally brand new. Not like you used a product to spruce it up. Many products even if they are low from a gloss perspective still don't look natural. This was impressive!!!
Thanks for sharing. Will try it.
Thanks for sharing, Jamie.
Totally agree excellent product 👌
Thanks Jamie
Peanut oil. Clean black trim. Wipe oil on, give it five minutes, wipe it off. Lasts for months, doesn't attract squirrels (my main concern), looks better than any cheap or expensive auto product I've tried, costs almost nothing. You can use smooth peanut butter, too, but it means hand-buffing the excess off and makes a mess.
Seriously, try peanut oil.
Try black shoe polish, it works better than cerakote.
No you shouldn’t because shoe polish is for leather & not plastic 🤥
@@1456941 shoe polish is not just for shoes. I use it on all my black trim. Don’t knock it till you try it.
Stop giving bad advice 😂
@@gmitch239 cerakote is just a clear coating, the same coating you use on headlamps after wet sanding. shoe polish penetrates plastic and vinyl.
Yessss. Needed a product like this for so long. Thank you, sir!
Try turtle wax graphene tire coating, best ever, suppose to be just for tires.
I will try that
@@CruisingTheLand you’ll love it, lasts forever and dries with no sling.
@@CruisingTheLand works incredible on all the outside plastic trim, I use it all over the trim n my 2023 venza limited
