For frequent details, this will work great in maintaining a rich appearance. For detailers, its great for the out-the-door, end of setvice detail. As with all good things, there are caveats: Oil based. Dusty environment? Expect this product to act as a magnet to dust and dirt until "cured"/dry. Plan accordingly (keep vehicle indoors until dry). Oil is a UV magnifier. Remember ArmorA*l? Applied frequently to the dash caused fading and cracking? That was because of the oil base. Intensified UV will cause long-term damage (fade/crack/drying). A lot of R&D goes in to products before they are marketed. I'm sure this product is no different, and I'm sure ChemGuys had these caveats in mind during development. This is a great product for Service detailers, Car lots and show prep. I would hesitate on repeated, long term use.
i always just jet seal the plastic and it works great on those plastic parts on my BMW e39. It doesnt do as good of a job but it does make it better and i have to seal it any way
bought some 6 months ago and have barely used an ounce, a little goes a long way but its too greasy for me personally, lasts for quite a while though since its oil based.
Tire And Trim Gel is an oil-based dressing. It contains no solvents that damage plastics or rubber. The oils seem deep into the pores of textured plastic and rubber to nourish and moisturize the material from deep within.
This couldn't be more perfect- I have an 02, white, e46, in socal and I have been wondering about this. Though I thought the black on the doors between the windows was metal?
medranofamilyCA Ha, I'll have you find me a rust free 3N6 2000-2001 camry painted door that matches the car, which means it would have to be used due to fading, not rusted with a working window motor & gray interior door panel that isn't ripped or anything, along with taking the door off and putting on the new one.
Hey there, great question. If you want max protection against etching, a Ceramic coating is the way to go. Our Carbon flex trim coating helps protect those sensitive plastics from oxidizing, and helps to create an invisible barrier that protects the pores of the plastic from things that could etch into them.

Hi Alex, how's it going? Chemical Guys Natural Shine is the perfect way to protect and restore your rubber, vinyl, and plastic trim. The unique formula nourishes and restores the surface for a classic shine. It's my personal favorite because it gives surfaces a nice sheen without being super shiny! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos dropping later this week!
Hi, good question. Yes, you should thoroughly clean the area first with soap and water or a waterless wash, but an iso wipe is not necessary. Thanks for watching and make sure to check back later today for a new video upload!
Hi Jose, the product you see in this video is the Tire and Trim Gel, it works best for Vinyl, Rubber, and plastic pieces to make them look hydrated. There's a good chance that it will work, however typically we deal with black colored trim pieces. Tire and Trim Gel is colorless, however we're not entirely sure how it will react with a colored textured plastic. You would have to try a small inconspicuous test spot to see how the product reacts.
Hi Hector, good question. Accidental application of Tire and Trim Gel is easy to remove from paint with a quality quick detail spray and microfiber towel. Thanks for watching and make sure to pick up your bottle of Tire and Trim Gel before the 4th of July sales later today!

The New Look Tire And Trim Gel has ultra refined moisturizing agents to nourish, protect, and shine rubber and plastic trim for months. It is recommended you allow an hour for the gel to cure.
You can clean it up if you accidentally rub some on. Just don't let it drip on paint and sit for a long time. Even water( calcium) in water can stain paint if left on for to long.
Guys - the product looks like it does the job nicely, but honestly, you really ought to consider applying the product, then timelapse the video at least an hour, then show the final product again.
word. Like 2 months later.d
definately, and what if it attracts dust and junk after its buffed?
Well it’ll probably look fine after an hour, you’ll end up needing it again over time
It'll be gone by then what's the point

Nice job,but what do u do about the finger marks?
Id like to see this after a few hours in the sun, and after a car wash. I have doubts this will stand up with a good car wash.
I live in Arizona and I can tell you straight up that I wash my car at least two times a week and it holds up pretty decent
On FB, someone posted that it didn't stand up to a short rain.
Amazon reviews is a good source with pictures. Seems like rain and first wash make the trim look bad ☹️. Saved me from purchasing this.
Noe R. Did u find anything else to use?
AmirBl nope
The way he was talking about the old trim I thought he was going to puke! Lol
does it work on glossy type trim?
Nicely done, I remember buying black shoes polish and buffing every black trim on my 84 Passat including the tyres haha, looked mean as.
How much did you use on the applicator pad? My impala 9C1 trim is super faded.
For frequent details, this will work great in maintaining a rich appearance. For detailers, its great for the out-the-door, end of setvice detail.
As with all good things, there are caveats: Oil based. Dusty environment? Expect this product to act as a magnet to dust and dirt until "cured"/dry. Plan accordingly (keep vehicle indoors until dry).

This is a great product for Service detailers, Car lots and show prep. I would hesitate on repeated, long term use.
Thank you so much for this insight
So what do you recommend for the everyday car owner?
It's not restored if it only lasts for a couple of months
MrWouzke re-application is a must
QJAndra restoring is making something better. this is covering up.
They should use the term "renew" instead.
So it’s basically semantics on the words
Humanalien if it only last a couple of months can't you just do that with WD 40?
What about when you go through the car off, does it take it off?
i always just jet seal the plastic and it works great on those plastic parts on my BMW e39. It doesnt do as good of a job but it does make it better and i have to seal it any way
Genuine question, what do I do if the pillar plastic starts to peel?
Hi there! The best solution may be to replace the trim piece.
Fix it with black duct tape
😂😂
Wow I feel in love with this product
bought some 6 months ago and have barely used an ounce, a little goes a long way but its too greasy for me personally, lasts for quite a while though since its oil based.
rocko430
how long would you say it last
Well?
Do it last after a car wash?
This comment was 7 year old y’all really think he gonna reply 🤣
@@miya24700just apply it again after car wash what’s the big deal lol
can you use it on faded black bumper as well?
I like the back to black spray what do you think is better the spray is super easy
Finally I find an easy to use product!
so how long does it stay such black without reapplying that gel?
Good for the rubber area at end of hood by the windshield wipers?
Hi Eric! Absolutely, use this for all vinyl, rubber and plastic components.
- CG Nick
I'm surprised he didn't give this foam applicator any organic name, LOL
Glad I went and had my trim vinyl wrapped
WOW..I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT ✔💯👍👍
You guys products are awesome!!!😀
Glad you like them!
Hi, is this similar to solutions finish in terms of longevity in the trim staying black like new?
How long does this trim gel last on the rubber?
What if the car I have has the door trim with a chocolate stain besides the faded black... Can I use this gel Also?
Hi! Use Nonsense All Purpose Cleaner to remove stains before applying dressing.
What happens if some gets on the car paint? Also how do you remove it if that happens? Thanks in advance.
Looks good for all that black trim. But what about white molding? My white door guard molding has been discolored by the Sun
Could you use Trim Gel for tyres as well? Since its sort of rubber as well.
Yes, CG Trim Gel works great on tires.

Still better to use Gyeon Trim or Cquartz Dlux or Gtechniq C4.
@Chemicalguys great revival !! and safe on paint, eh?!
Do you sell the sponge you are using to apply the Tire & Trim Gel?
Hi there! Yes, that is the UFO Applicator Pad.
www.chemicalguys.com/wax-and-dressing-ufo-applicator/ufo-applicator.html
So how long does this shine last exactly?
He said it at the beginning it last a few months.
Any suggestion on how to get out dents on one of these panels?
Replace the panel.
Can't, it's part of the door. 2001 camry btw.
CoinHuntingDrew Replace the door.... ;)
medranofamilyCA Ha, I'll have you find me a rust free 3N6 2000-2001 camry painted door that matches the car, which means it would have to be used due to fading, not rusted with a working window motor & gray interior door panel that isn't ripped or anything, along with taking the door off and putting on the new one.
+CoinHuntingDrew it's a 15 year old Camry, live with it lol
Looks good. How well does that hold up against bug guts for the black plastic on the leading edges?

ChemicaL Guys Alex -
Chemical Guys thanks for the response! I will look into that.
Nice product. Sign me up for some. Where can I get a bottle of it?
love the product, only question is why don't you ship to Canada
Would it work in a Subaru, 2019?
The pillars in my Subaru look like shiny plastic.
Hi will this work on vulcanized rubber by chance? Vulcanized rubber is also known as hard rubber.
Hey! Yes, this can also be used to dress surfaces with vulcanized rubber.
Do you recommend trim gel over black on black spray?
How does this compare to the Carbon Flex trim product you guys also sell? And under what circumstances would you recommend the two?
I have some scuffs and scratches om the vinyl door/window trim. Will this help mask this?
Where do you buy the trim gel? Canadian Tire?

Looks great ! How many washes does it last ? Do you have it in smaller sizes and do international shipping ? Thanks
on some trim i had its been going strong for 3 months.
@chemical guys. Is this same as your V.r.p?
Is this oily does it attract dust
love the pinky extension
What will this do for plastic trim that is not black? Will it restore to the original color?
How to remove and change that trim?
Does it bleed down on the paint, if so you need to deoxidize molding vs covering it up

I used a different applicator pad a microfiber one and it doesn't look like the gel helped at all. Maybe It needs foam one?
What product would you use for the interior doors? As in the interior plastics, etc. Like the handles, arm rest, those areas...
I live in korea. Where can i buy ur products?
Does this work with door trims that are peeling? Like the trim is two different colors?
Has anyone used this product and does it run off after it rains? I have used Adam's VRT and it runs after it rains. I tried using very little and it still runs.
Its tire dressing. Hides the surface temporarily. Doesn't restore it. Think pancake makeup.
psdaengr
Any ideas on how to bring them back to life ?
I don’t want to use molding paint , don’t want to buy new moldings.
Plastidip?
Can you also use tyre shine ?

Is it ok to not tape off areas you don’t apply the trim gel?
Hi there! Tire and Trim Gel will easily wipe off of paint and glass if accidentally applied to these areas.
Does this only work on black trim or can you use it on other colors?

Chemical Guys okay thank you for the reply! I have an f150 with dark gray flares and I wasn't sure if it would work or not.
Do you condition hard exterior plastic the same way as trunk/door/engine bay seals?
I have a 01 X5 with the glossy trim. It gets a rainbow hue especially after a car wash. Will this work on the glossy trim as well??
Many products can do that, but a week later it’s gone. How long will your product stay looking good?
will be getting this
How did it work?
where do I get this product?
Will this remove scratches from the b pillar also?
yameen patel as long as the scratches aren't too deep enough but if it's just a light scratch I believe it will do its job

can i use black on black other than trim gel? like...restore plastic trim with black on black
what would clear coat over it do.
does this also hide scratches on a glossy trimmings?
Does it shine like paint or is it flat Black when finished?
Hi Ray! Tire and Trim Gel will add some gloss.
how many times can he say trim
Dude, the black on the doors is matt black PAINT not plastic.
And keep that pinky finger up in the air, like drinking a nice cup of English tea! :-)
lol, these pinky fingers and squeaky voices comments are killing me :D
No self respecting tea drinker would ever pop their finger up its completely faux pas and de trop!
hey can black on black spray work on this just as fine
It seems to leave the surface too shiny. It doesn't seem to restore the original color.
isnt this a variant of the black on black? i can use black on black and will it give me the same look?
Black on Black is a spray. Trim Gel is a gel form. Both give a great since, but gel adds more protection and can be applied with an applicator pad.
+Chemical Guys honestly I hate when people talk crap about your guys products you guys have the best of the best been using ur stuff forever works amazing keep it up
so will this damage surrounding paint
How long does it last ?
The New Look Tire And Trim Gel has ultra refined moisturizing agents to nourish, protect, and shine rubber and plastic trim for months. It is recommended you allow an hour for the gel to cure.
Finally I found this video! Nice!!!
Happy detailing!
will it damage the paint it you happen to rub some on it?
You can clean it up if you accidentally rub some on. Just don't let it drip on paint and sit for a long time. Even water( calcium) in water can stain paint if left on for to long.
