A true internet hero, thanks.
Meguiars is pronounced “meg-why-ers” like Toby Maguire
Thank you so much! Cheers!
I started to think that I was saying it wrong for years.
You beat me to it!
Thank you that was bugging me lol
or pronounced .. Meg-Wires lol to "meg-why-ers" brother
Meg-wires. Looking forward to the results of the test
Awesome! Thank you! Stay tuned!
🤦♂️🤭
@@Garagecouple is there result for long lasting?

Like the movie Tobey Maguire.
Thank you guys so, so much! I needed this video!!!
You got it! Be sure to check out the follow ups
@@Garagecouple I watching them all now. Many of them, on my 46" Flatscreen via Roku
Sweeet! Send us a pic on instagram and we will give you a shoutout!
I want it to look Wet Black so I think Turtle Wax for me!! Thanks for breaking out down for us!!!
On camera, the turtle wax looked the best. It was dark black
Love the vid, I'm working on my XJ while drinking a cold truly, cheers!
This is what everyone needs, a beautiful smart woman to help you restore your cars! Thanks for the post.
Much love! Thank you!
Wtf kinda paid answer is this
I’m so glad y’all finally decided to due this to the Jeep!!
Thank you for the comment! It was long overdue. Stay tuned for the update video! Our ranking is changing with time
I used Meguiars wax and polish for very long time, one of the best waxing products for cars, I polished plastic trim to shine get great results. Also I restored plastic trim using wax cleaner. Also I do something with the plastic trim, I cleaned with alcohol and spray clear coat.
Wow nice!
interesting !
clear coat and alcohol??
Great review very informative
Thank you!
Hey guys. Tried the cerakote after your pic. Turned out really well. Just follow instructions and take your time. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome! Glad you like it!!!
Best I've ever found is crisco. When they're new, just apply every couple months and they stay looking great for years.
Thing about that is it doesn't last too long, check out the follow up videos in this series
I just use mothers tyre and shine on trims too and it works very well for me sticks and stays in multiple washes too
Nice!
I use black shoes dye
Great shine and it lasts about 5 months at a time
Very interesting
What shoe dye do you use?
Marc Aliventi Aliventi pretty sure someone did this on the car I’m cleaning, glad I took the whole interior out and am cleaning parts one at a time or it would be a mess
The oil penetrates and restores the plastic, so it is actually a good thing if it’s nice and oily.
Great job guys look forward to the follow up.
Thank you! Will make the video soon!
Purchased car a month back. Does turtle wax trim restorer help on piano black window trims and door visors or should I go with turtle wax inside out protectants for few months?
I love you guys together!! Much love sent ur way!!💗💗💗
Hey I could careless about how you pronounced anything, I personally appreciate your video and taken the time to do it. It helped me alot, y'all keep having fun and helping me out. PEACE
Appreciate you
The Maguires pronunciation was hilarious. Good video.
Thanks
I thought I had been pronouncing it wrong lol 😂
"mak - gwhy -ers" LOL :)
Could this work on interior trim as well or would I need another product for that?
Yes it does! Works very well!
Yes you can use all these in interior too
I so need this for my 05 mustang the trim on the upper door is fading to a dull grey/black can't wait to get something for it
Nice!
Hallo,thanks for your video..but.. if you wash the car, the polis is ok ? tx
We will find out! Stay tuned for the update video!
New to the Jeep family. I enjoy your videos. I cannot find the skim33 trim restorer. Any websites to recommend? Thank you!
MA-GWHY-ERS! Awsome test. Thanks
Thank you!
Did y'all make a video of how you cut your fenders? Would love to see how y'all did that.
Yes we did. Just search fender on our channel
That helps a lot thanks for the video 👍
Of course cheers!
I like the scoooter .I have a Honda forza 300 and it rides great .I get 65to 70mpg and it olds two helmits under the seat and tons of other storage .Its fuel injected and is a joy to commute to work.
Wow sweet
Pronouncing meguiars like jaguar was def a good joke hahaha very helpful video!
Thanks for the support. Part 2 coming out this Sunday! Stay tuned 🎶
Not pronounced like Jaguar. Not at all.
Will the plastic trim restorer get rid of black spots on trim got black spots from using iron remover because I didn't tape the trim up when applying iron remover don't plan on ever using iron remover on my truck ever again now.
Griot's Garage used to make a product called: "Bumper & Trim Reconditioner" (Item11183) that was a black dye... I used it on my new to me H2 as soon as I got it and it literally lasted 8 years till I sold it. I have no idea why they stopped making it....?
Will these work on grey trim?? I know they say back to black etc. but will they bring my dark smoke grey back to life? Just wanna make sure in case it’s more of a dye
Yes it will work!
Wow the difference from where the tape was looks huge!! All those oily ones look great at first, but that oiliness just makes them collect dust and grime so fast. Anything that does the job AND is not oily is excellent. Going to check out the Skim33 for sure!
Thank you for comment! Before getting the skim33, stay tuned for the update. Cheers!
Yeah, my pickup bed cover looked great to begin with, but dust stuck to it and it was very greasy.
The English teacher doesn't know it's ma-gwires? Also, the turtle wax was clearly the darkest?! 😂😂
Lol being an English teacher has nothing to do aith being able to pronounce an auto brand. Lol.
@@Garagecouple it’s a real name tho lol and is spelled as pronounced.
@@josezepeda5564 i feel like the name is also English....XD

Try a heat gun. Will take away the sun fade on plastic
A heat gun and mineral oil are the best, but if it is well maintained a simple cleaning and 303 will make it pop!
i have not finished the video but just want to press Like, simply because you got your wife out here and she looks like shes thrilled and excited. :)
😀 You promoted your Canadian product quite well..
All products did very good job
Check out the follow up videos
Hi! Thank you for your really fun and effective video! Looking forward to the results. Best,
Results are posted, check the links in the description! Thanks
We all mispronounce words, names etc..
But it sure was funny.
All kidding aside.
Why not add Armor All tire shine.
One product two uses tires and plastic.
I totally appreciate the honest review. But listening to you guys say Meguiars was a little rough. I understand the language thing. But its ma gwy errs lol. Did my best there. Thanks again guys 👌
Fair enough!
Solution finish is the only product worth buying for restoring plastic. It’s not a topical protectant like most. It actually dissolves the oxidation and penetrates into the plastic to restore it to 100% like new. Every other product has to be applied just about every time you wash your vehicle and most often leaves a really inconsistent look.
You should definitely try "solution finish"! You're welcome. Once you use that, that's the only thing you will use from that day forward. Its actually made from carbon and is designed to soak into your plastics. That's what all the pros use.
We bought it and will be making a head to head with the winner
@@Garagecouple ❤
If you tape it off and spray it with bed coat you wont need to use those restore products ever again. the bed coat spray from Walmart is like 8 bucks and lasts 3 years before it needs another fast spray.
What kind of bed coat would you use for the bumper? There's black truck bed liner/underbed coating & Clear truck bed liner
@@robertojeda88 I've used rustoleum truck bed coating fro bumpers, rock sliders, my trailer hitch and tons of other things. It's cheap at autozone and I think Walmart carry it also. Just be careful because it comes out of the can fast and it covers a large are quickly. I've also used this as undercoat and it works really well. Much better than the rubber junk lol.
@@michaelblencowe4241 thanks!
Solution finishes is the best I've seen, get it on Amazon for $23
Thanks for the tip!
Yep NOTHING better than Solution Finish! :)
I now have an used the Turtle Wax trim restorer. 2nd week using. Ok....1st week using product , think i applied too lite of a coat ? Heavey rain washed it off. Had dark an light spots. 2nd week. Applied again. This time using 1" trim paint brush. The brush made it so much easier to apply on trim. Looks good so far. Just waiting for the rain again. Lol. Will be using TW till its gone 👍
Nice thanks for the support
Theres a spray on one...i think from mothers i find better then all the wipe on ones...have a 2002 Tacoma with flares...in winter they turn white...tried wipe on...didn't always work...spray on turns them black every time
Got it! Thanks for the tip! We are very happy with the cerakote
Minute 3:55 she means Business now. Thanks for sharing Your video I'm going to buy turtle wax brand blessings from LA. 👏👏👏💯💯💯
Thank you! Cheers!
Where can you buy Skim33.. I have looked online.. I dont see the product??
Check out the follow up videos
Do these help with light scratches on the fenders?
They do not!
The Turtle Wax Trim Restorer is the most shiny, and my favorite for exterior and interior plastics. I also like Mothers VLR spray for interior plastics and leather (vinyl, leather, rubber). My favorite wax is Nu Finish- Scotty Kilmer recommends the Lithium brand wax for more money.
Thank you for the info! We will try that out, stay tuned!
Great video! Save the wave
Cheers
The results were awesome
I Plasti Dipped mine 6 most ago still looks good
Nice!
I've seen plenty of people in various Wrangler forums recommend using Penetrol for trim restoration and even on the hardtop.
Thank you for the feedback! Looks like based on the comments we are gonna have a round 2 with mostly online products. Maybe we can have viewers send us products they recommend so we can test them!
How did they hold up on time till they started to fade?
Checj out the videos in the description for long term follow up!
She is one beautiful woman!
Great job with the video
You are so kind
I just subscribed to the channel just because of the way u pronounce Meguiars... You should try Solution finish, best you can use to restore trim.. keep it up guys
You're our hero < 3
Where can I get the skim 33
try ceramic coating on plastic trims.. it will last you for years and very easy to clean
Nice!
I've seen a heat gun used to make the trim look new again and it lasts longer than a chemical. You should try that on a video.
Hest gun works but it makes the plastic more brittle
Aero Cosmetics. You'll have to order it but it's Aerospace grade. It restores the health of rubber. It doesn't leave the ridiculous shine or become an attractant to dirt.
I use all meguiars products on my jeep for the trim,tires,wax to me they make the best products.Their tire foam last for a long time even after rain and washing.I like the turtle wax look but you guys didnt try armor all which works great.That new one looks kinda dull in the video.
Thank you for the feedback! We will see how it holds up over time and make an update!
Meguiars for my plastic fenders and forever black too
Try cerakote
I like the turtle finishing. You have also to check how long they last...
Check out our recent episodes!
Ditch the music when you are talking, harder to hear you. I have 2, Mother's and Turtle, both work fine for me. Turtle seems like more of gel to me than liquid.
Sounds good
How does it fair over time?
Ye music is shite
So how did it look after a month witch one stayed black the longest?
Good question! CHeck out our 3 follow up videos, links are all in the description!
Look at SC1. Its called new bike in a can. It works awesome on my side by side plastic.
Sweeet
I used the meguiar’s on my jeep wrangler and looks like new bumpers mirrors and fenders.
That's awesome
Nice video and on my birthday.
Happy birthday!
It's Meguiars [meh•gwy•ers] lol. Also for Jeeps with their winning amount of plastics it might be a nice investment and ease of application to protect with a ceramic coating👍
Appreciate that. By the 6 month update we got it done! Be sure to check it out :)
Cerakote brand wipes work good and the dye lasts.
Yes its amazing
Malco makes the best trim coat it’s called epic revive NU. Also you should get a nice rolling work cart instead of using the hood of your nice Jeep
Good suggestion thank you!
is that a Band of the Red Hand emblem on the side mirror?
Its a jeep wave emblem!
What’s the name of the second song used? At 1:05
Hmm have to double check
I find that Wipe the best...Over year on my truck...
Yeah, same here!
You all need some Car Pro Perl, That is legit water based and comes as a concentrate at a low cost
Cerakote has done the job, its been flawless!
Well, how to keep this brief.... so call protectants are mainly water, glycol (antifreeze) and sand (silica). To make this combo work requires emulsification. Silica is holds mid level UV reflective values and is harmless. The emulsifier(s) and the glycol are the bad bits!
Glycol is used to maintain hydration or keep the surface wet. That old tire or faded trim look great when it rains... right? That's what protectants do...Temporary hydration of the substrate. Glycol is also neurotoxin SO bad idea on interiors. The emulsifier(s) will eventually breakdown any surface especially when it remains active due to the hydrating effect of the glycol.
The cerakote has lasted over 1 year and has yet to fade. Thinking it worked :)
Try some mop-n-glo. Love your Jeep!
Appreciate the support and suggestion!
Lol...
When i was in the Army, we used mop in glow on our black boots....nice shine
Y’all should use some of that on the 4 wheeler in the back lol
Hahah!
Did yall cut your factory fenders?
Yes! We have a video on it on our channel! Just search garage couple fenders on YT
Thanks for the videos. They are great
the real test is over time. especially when it rains. there are some products that gets white marks after
Meguilars, Mot-hers, Turt-lewax and the Ski-M33
How about washing the undercarriage and applying anti rust protection?
Tranmission fluid works better than all of those products and last the longest try it works
I've been using this for over 260k miles. I will stick to it. Thanks for the Suggestion
Transmission fluid is what I use. I've tried all those major name brands and although they do work ATF lasts longer.
A heat gun and clear coat spray works wonders for plastic 👌
That sounds like a lot more work lol but thanks!
Ya maybe, but it will last longer than most plastic restorers and will only have to be done once. Thank you for the reply!
@@adamfowles1060 that makes sense. We also like the idea of bedlining the fenders. The results are pretty long lasting too. Thanks for sharing that awesome tip. Cheers 🥂
Interesting, I've have not heard about bed liner on plastic fenders, I would think once it gets hard it would crack off and might not bond to plastic??
@@adamfowles1060 we've had good luck with bedlining plastics. Thing sticks to everything!
How do you buy and the price in U S Dollars of Skim 33?
You check them out as a start
@@Garagecouple I don't understand, can you guys provide links in the description in the future?
@@urjnlegend we don't recommend them! We have links to everything in the description
i LOVED Toby Magulares in Spidur Mans
Lol
Just an FYI to everyone out there, Cera Trim is the product you are looking for. Clean it really well and apply. Lasts seemingly forever.
Check out the latest video in the series
Nice job and very helpful. I give you even more credit considering all the “experts” on here telling you how to pronounce the manufacturer. You have thick skin!!
Thank you for the support!
Forever black! BMW guru's choice pick for black trim
We love cerakote!
Have you tried the brand "Solution Finish"?
We bought it to compare with the winner of the series. Stay tuned to check it out!
Apply clear coat if new look or no discoloration
Chemical guys tire shine is all I'll say. Knocks these out of the park
Heck out the follow ups!
Turtlewax formula hands down looks the best from wat i see on that fender the oily film will dry an go away i think the Canada company paid u off to vote for them
Check out the follow up viseos.. we made 3 long term follow ups (hint: Canada company was the worst of the group)
Hola, han probado el chemical guys?
Chemical guys also has a good product
Thanks for the comment! We will try that on round 2. Thanks again 🔥
Best way to last for years is to first dye it and then only apply wax or ceramic based sealant to protect the trim
So far the cerakote has been holding up amazingly!
@@Garagecouple oh ok
Ceramic coating that use for your paint is amazing for plastic and it lasts longer
Thanks!
What brand side steps are on your Jeep?
We have electric ones. Just search our latest uploads
I like mothers. I give 3 coats but you have to buff it in between coats others wise the results aren’t as good as they are meant to be
Thanks for sharing!
Pam cooking spray works best for me
Interesting
