Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat - How to remove it & restore your trim the right way!(Product Review)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2024
- Hey sub family, Cerakote Trim Coat is a durable ceramic coating which bonds to the pores of unpainted plastic trim, & restoring it to its original appearance. But it doesn't stop there! Once applied, it cures to form a ceramic layer of protection. Which is false! They say it's guaranteed to last for at least 200 washes but it only lasted about three washes and then started fading a hazy white. I do not recommend you buy this product due to heartache. It's a pain to remove the ceramic coating. But with the steps I provided it should come straight off with some hardworkand dedication.
What you will need is a 200 Grit sandblock, 100 Grit sandblock, Meguiar's Headlight Coating, Bucket, 91% Alcohol, & microphybercloth.

This guy is telling the truth..I used this on my 1 year old car to protect the plastic cladding and immediately I noticed missed spots (even though I applied)...I reapplied this and then noticed areas of haziness and uneven application (again, I took my time and reapplied).
Now I am going through it removing it from my cladding. Will try the headlight spray once I'm sure it's all off. I'll keep what's left for any really bad trim on my wife's car since she doesn't care but this product made my trim worse, it had no issues before.
Fr, i just did my fj cruiser and it looks horrible, some parts look beautiful but most of it looks bad. I try the magic eraser with non acetone nail polish remover to remove as instructed but now my trim looks white dry 🤦🏻♀️
@@maritzaballin same I ended up putting some armor all on it for now and that made it look a little bit nourished I'm going to go back and hit it again before every car wash with the magic eraser and acetone and then continue to hit it with armor All until it's no longer looking white dry and then I'll use this headlight restore
Hopefully somebody else here can share what they did to fix this
No complaints here, I've had it on my trim for a year and half now, simple wash and the trim looks brand new.
Hey my friend I hope all is well, I'm so very excited that you have found my channel and i Hope you become a member of the sub family community! That's Really good News that the Product Worked in your favor my friend. This product is not Good by all means, I would not recommend anyone to apply this to any of there Vehicles. It will cause more damage then Actually restoring a plastic trim piece back to it's Restored state. I cleaned and Prepped the Surface area and applied the product correctly with absolutely no luck at a perfect application. I hope this information helps you. Godbless you
I have used this product on all 5 of my vehicles for years and have never had an issue.
Product is good this guy is tripping smh
Finally I found how to fix it. Thank you so much for share this tip.👍🏻

I own a 20 year old Honda CRV that I bought used that looked like the trim had never been cared for so i watched some RUclips including Project Farm which recommended Cerakote and bought the box he is holding in his hand. I cleaned the trim carefully and thoroughly as recommended. It was surprising how much time that took but I was going to make this sucka look good! so I put the effort in. Then applied it and it did NOT even up the various shades of blacks and dark grays that oxidation and scrapes can create over the years. Applying it was disappointing as the cute little folded pads ran out pretty fast (yes probably due to dried out plastic that sucked a lot in) and I used 8/10 pads finishing it off. The results are consistent. Every variation I mentioned earlier is now on full display under a glossy ceramic coating that sure enough beads up beautifully when wet. Godfrey. I am too tired to unwind the project and start over but this is what I get for not spending even more time than I already do on RUclips. If I wasn’t a Premium member and had to watch commercials i would be in a psycho lockdown by now. When I do get around to stripping the Cerakote off I’m going to experiment with some black dyes until I get even results, then maybe tape off the trim and shoot it as recommended by this gentleman. I can imagine problems over time with that approach. Ah yes, the life of the do it and redo it and do it again - yourselfer, goes like this more than I’ll admit. If you saw my shop you would find duplicates of tools and extra parts and more tools that i will probably have to will to my heirs for them to ever get used again. Now that i think about it, doing it myself every chance i get has cost me a lot of time and money over the years…and that’s a thought I wish i hadn’t realized. Maybe when the SHTF everything I’ve learned will be of value, which i hope i never find out.
tbh the cerakote has worked pretty well for me on most trim. what height me here, however, is that the cerakote is cracking/has lines through it on my b-pillar trim and it looks really bad

I use the wipes and they work awesome. And very easy to use. Have washed my jeep multiple times and looks great. Black on Black. But thats just my experience. And its the wipes I used.

What ive done for my front black lip trim is to do a double or a triple coat on it. So far its been lasting me for about 2 months right now instead of lasting less than a week. I always wash my car once a week and rains alot where i live
Everything he says about Cerakote is TRUE!! My trim is a hazy mess, I have brake cleaner and laquer thinner ready to give it a go. I am sure I have many hours of work ahead.

@@HASAWNTUCKER :HT, did you have to mask off the painted areas of your car? I would be concerned about over-spray. Where did you get the sanding blocks from? TK
I’m glad I’m not the only one ! I used that product and it looks like crap! It’s been bothering me because I could not get it off . I’ve tried mineral oil to clean my vinyl trim and didn’t even budge ! Thank you for posting this helpful video ! I will try this thank you !
Yeah me too. I should have sticked to the dressing instead of permanent coating that can be difficult to fix when something goes wrong.
Hey my friend I hope all is well, I'm so very excited that you have found my channel and i Hope you become a member of the sub family community! Your absolutely correct my friend that stuff just doesn't sit correctly Like it's supposed to, it Fades, Chips and looks hazy after just one single wash This Ceramic Trim Coat is Cheap! & will definitely destroy the Plastic trim on your vehicle. If you follow my steps correctly it should fix the issue my dear friend. I hope this information helps you. Godbless you
I definitely would recommend the Trim Dressing! This Product will work okay, Chemical Guys Tire and Trim Gel.

I love the stuff, best I ever used. I have used it on a few cars and my F-150 just this weekend. My last truck went well over 200 washes and still looked great. Just for clarity I have an unlimited wash membership and I use it a lot.

I made the mistake of using Cerakote on my hard plastic louvers. They looked perfect for a few months, then it started cracking and fading to white. It's been a nightmare trying to get it off. Sanding and scraping in between spraying Acetone. I'm about to give up and buy new louvers. I can't imagine putting that stuff on factory car parts. Reaching out to the company was useless too, they recommended trying pink nail polish remover. They also blamed me for applying it to a wet surface, which I did not.

Project farm did a review and cerakote worked the best 🤔
Yours was the first negative review I've seen

What was the trim like after sanding before the other product you used? Did it look bad after sanding and getting the Cerakote off? I’m looking to remove the Cerakote but put nothing on after.
Hey my friend I hope all is well, I'm so very excited that you have found my channel and i Hope you become a member of the sub family community! The Trim looked perfectly fine my friend. I do want mention when you wet sand the plastic trim after Drying will look like a white hazy Color, and this will tell you that you have sanded the plastic trim panel Properly and have removed the Cerakote off. Then you want to make sure you clean all the plastic trim panels with isopropyl alcohol to assure that it's clean & the Clear coat is ready to apply. You will have to apply Clear Coat after Sanding the plastic trim panel my friend. Or the plastic trim panels will look very dull. I hope this information helps you. Godbless you
I am with you bro, I put this on my front spitter it looked like I painted it. Let dry for days. It then drive car it rain and spots all over my spitter will not come off

I completely regret using this product. It turned hazy just like it did for you. Because my trim is textured, sanding is not a option. I am debating attempting light abrasive blasting but I'm pretty sure this will create a totally different disaster.

I unfortunately used it, didn’t like the results and wanted to remove it. I went to their website and it says to use a magic eraser dipped in non acetone fingernail polish remover…. I did…it totally ruined my truck mirrors distorting the plastic beyond repair. $500 for new mirrors.
Thanks for that report! I tried brake cleaner which did not get it offf!! This is only on the black vinyl trim, not the paint thankfully. Those paper towels with Cerakote go about 2 feet before they dry out!! WHAT CRAP!! Should bea classs action suit against them

I'm surprised cerakote aren't taking you to court??
Any tips on textured plastic? I think I fucked up it’s been three weeks and it doesn’t really look bad in just worried it will. Haha
Hey my friend I hope all is well, I'm so very excited that you have found my channel and i Hope you become a member of the sub family community! Textured Plastic can be Sanded as well my friend. The step-by-step process that I mentioned in the video can be done to textured plastic trim as well don't worry everything will be okay. I will say that this Cheap ceramic coating will Fade overtime. Eventually it will have to be corrected. If you start to notice a white Hazy Look in the ceramic trim coating that means it's in the wearing out stage. Which this will Occur after Frequently washing your vehicle my dear friend. I try to wash my vehicle every two weeks. That's when I started to notice the White hazy look in the ceramic trim coating. But I hope this information helps you. Godbless you
Thanks bro. This was pretty thick and ugly and I found you to get it off thanks again

I saw another video where this product worked well on some of the plastic but not on others. I don't know how to tell one from the other before trying. Maybe on of your viewers can clear that up. Sorry for your bad experience.

Cerakote is NOT for new trim, it's for old faded trim.
Ceramics form a covalent bond to pourous trim regardless if it’s new or not. You can protect it from the start with proper prep and stay away from non-pourous smooth plastic, the ceramic molecules won’t fill in the microscopic peaks and valleys of pourous.
Curious as to where you get this information?
I used it on the interior trim on one peice and it's ruined now. 😢 it caused white spots and I can't clean it. I can't sand the interior trim piece. Any other suggestions?

This product cannot be used on the interior trim pieces of your vehicle my friend. this will cause significant damage to the interior of your vehicle. I would recommend you to replace the interior pieces inside your vehicle that you applied this product to. You can get cheap interior pieces from a salvage yard. You will have to find the same vehicle & pull the interior trim pieces off of a used vehicle of the same make, Model and Year as yours.

I made a big mistake using that crap ruined my trim looks terrible ,sand it is not easy to remove

I got some on the paint of my car and it wont come off any help please?
Hey my friend I hope all is well, I'm so very excited that you have found my channel and i Hope you become a member of the sub family community! If the Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat comes in contact with paint or glass you will have to remove it immediately with a clean dry microfiber cloth. If you have already applied the Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat to your vehicle and it has came in contact with your vehicle’s Exterior paint over time it will Eventually come off after 200 washes. I know it sounds crazy! But that product is a nightmare to deal with. I hope this information helps you my friend. Godbless you
This stuff is garbage
Streaky in spots, dries great in some spots, faded looking in spots, wet looking in spots.
Crap.
I removed it quickly by rubbing car compound, cutter on area the rubbed hard and it was good again
Hi mate, I agree with you. Just applied it to my brand-new car. It destroyed the plastic trim. They have a lot of positive review in Amazon, I was thinking they are fabricating those reviews so that you’ll get encouraged to buy it. Even RUclips reviews had a lot of positive reviews.
I should have believed you before I have applied it on my car. Good thing I didn’t applied it on all the plastic trims on my car.
Cerakote responded to my email, they told me it is not compatible for some plastic mouldings. They even told me this wasn’t compatible with brand-new car due to off gassing, but I find them really dishonest with this. As this was an ongoing issue for years. They just don’t care about their customers.
I was about to buy plastic trims but they are difficult to source and are expensive. I was also thinking of repainting it since the plastic window got melted due to their advice of removing the product with acetone and magic eraser.
I really regret putting this on my car. I honestly wasn’t able to sleep every night because of this damage. I was still paying of my car loan. This was stressful AF.
Hey my friend I hope all is well, I'm so very excited that you have found my channel and i Hope you become a member of the sub family community! Don't worry my friend this is very stressful but if you follow my simple steps correctly it should correct this issue. They definitely Fabricated there Reviews laughing out loud [100%]
Godbless you my dear friend
@@HASAWNTUCKER Yeah mate. Heading to buy some sand paper now. My only problem though was I followed their advice about putting acetone-free polish remover and magic eraser. It melted the plastic moulding on my side windows. 😭 So I might try to paint it with a plastic trim paint/ urethane coating.
I wish I should have found your videos earlier, rather than following their advice.
Hope you get more subscribers for your honest reviews, hopefully you remain the same. I only purchased Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat due to positive RUclips reviews. Some RUclipsrs didn’t even gave an update of the quality of the product after many washes, I’m guessing they had the same issues.
My only recommendation for you is I hope you made a step by step guide on how you restore your plastic trim. Like how you sanded it down. Nonetheless, thanks for this video.
I know the methods they mentioned was not accurate & DON'T work! Laughing out loud 😂 They are selling snake oil Products. I am truly glad that you found my channel & I hope the information I provided to you was useful. But I have faith that if you follow the step-by-step instructions I gave you it will Come straight off. & I'm truly sorry for your troubles, Acetone is harsh on old plastics. I'm here to assist you my dear friend anytime help is needed.
Yeah bro! They even deleted my comment in their RUclips instructions. 😂
I used this garbage on a brand new set of fender flares I bought for my jeep (the old ones were faded badly) and it ruined the new ones. They have blotchy white spots all over them, brand new out of the box. This junk cost me $150 in ruined flares.
