Been needing to see a video like this. Was tired of using "trim restoring" products only to be annoyed by how long it doesn't last, and whenever it rained the product would smear and leave an ugly oil trail. Thank you sir as a fellow Tennessean.
I've already known about this product, but haven't used it yet. You are the first I've seen not tape around all. And the first to wipe immediately, with no wait. I hope anyone who watches this understands......... finding that out made this video so amazing! Even if you already are aware, but about to try the product. Thanks man.
Yes well the guy in the video did it wrong you should wait at least 2 minutes before wiping it because you need to give it time to impregnate itself into the plastic pores. I know you can't spray alcohol over it afterwards notice how we didn't show you the rag after he was done wiping it with alcohol after you applied the product. It's like the blind leading the blind when I see videos like this
I bought the big bottle of Solution Finish Black Trim Restorer for about $50 or so. You really need very little so I still have lots, it will last me 20 years for sure. I'll do it twice a year. I cleaned the rubber, not nearly as well as in the video, but still pretty good. Dabbed a bit of it onto a terri-cotton cloth in it, and rubbed it along the rubber once. It works pretty much instantly and then buffed it off with a dry cloth. It looks fabulous. You can do a whole car with about five dabs. Its super easy to apply and to clean up. It wipes off metal with no problems. I didn't really need to do it again but I did anyway because I have so much of it. I store the car during the winter so I don't know how it would handle a Toronto winter. It's worth it if your car is.
So far that’s the best results on trim restore I’ve seen. Most products make the plastic shinny but the fade it still there. The back to black products continue to bleed into the paint near by when doing polishing on white paints is annoying. I’m gonna try this product for sure.
I do agree. Best restorer out there. A true restorer. My wifes cousins xterra trim was severely aged (it was a light gray in color) and her husband struggled with a restorer. I applied SF on the trim and she was amazed on the contrasting results but she was even more amazed on the ease of application and how “clean” the end result ended. I was even blown away as the trim was the worst trim I have ever applied SF to. 👍🏻
@@codyfrancis4474 not to mention this video was useless as he did not follow the proper procedure for applying and removing, if you do you'll get 6 months out of it if you top it with a ceramic coating and allowing it to dry before applying ceramic coating you will get upwards of 3 years out of it
I've watched so many videos on this subject and I think I have found what I was looking for. I've been convinced that there MUST be a way to dye plastic. Thank you!
Too funny i too watched many videos on this topic... I found 5 years ago that using natural peanut butter oil from the top of the jar ...which you can purchase pretty much at any dollar store ... cheap small jar for a buck or 2 ...do not stir the peanut butter...use the oil from the top of the jar...just a little dab works great ...might have to redo it once or twice a year... a little dab goes far... save your bucks... the rest of this crap is exactly that crap... when you're done with the oil on top of the jar you can always eat the rest of you choose!!!
@@sasksunseekers5699 I actually bought some and it has held up pretty damn good! Better than any other commercial product that I've tried. Applied on May 6th. So just over 3 months and it is at about 60% of the original luster. What I didn't like was the mess. My favorite thing is that after it's applied it looks more natural and doesn't have that artificial "shiny" effect. I'm curious about the peanut oil though. What's different with your method and just using peanut oil out of a bottle? I've had limited success with linseed oil too.
Can’t because the next day it was probably looking splotchy and fading. I tried that exact product on my well-kept 01 Dodge Ram. There is no “true restoration” that can be done to faded black plastic. Try watching a couple videos on using boiled linseed oil.
Once saw a video where some used car dealer would restore the trim with Rustoleum spray paint. Cleaned the trim, a coat of adhesion promoter, and a few light coats of Rustoleum. Looked like a champ. I tried it on an old 2001 4Runner front grill and came out nice. Though that vehicle he was working in sure does have a lot of trim. There’s also trim paint, thought I’d use the Rustoleum.
You gotta use 303 trim protection it works so good. Put multiple coats until it doesn't fade away and I'll last a while. Apply every 2 washes or so and itll last forever
Solution Finish has made me *so* much money. Dozens of vehicles, thousands of dollars. I paid around $25 for a 12oz bottle years ago. I have not even used half of the bottle. 👍👌✌
It's a freaking money maker if you have black plastic trim completely around your car such as like a Jeep I charge 400 dollars and I top it with a ceramic coating so it lasts for years
@@willsrestorations yeah! Jeeps, Land Cruisers, Avalanches especially. What do you top it with? I use TAC Moonlight. It’s another of my can’t live without it products. Cheap, easy and durable.

Greetings from Ghana, west Africa Dr. Luke Wilson....Your video's are so Insightful and Detailed....Would love to see you review the highly Acclaimed 'Lithium Trim Serum' and also make a video on how to restore scratched 'Glossy' car interior plastics......Maximum Respect!!!
Thanks for explaining because.. I never understood why the restoration liquids/wipes wasn't working so now I understand I need the black restoring paint first then the other stuff to maintain it.
This is all fun and great but the best plastic restorer I ever used was a heat gun. Harbor fright special of $9.99, set it on low and slowly move around the plastic it does take some time but it is restored forever, of course i do follow up with chemical guys VRP and it looks amazing, you could use the restoration product since the pores are open on the plastic from the heat and then once it cools the product seeps deep into the plastic
@@evanwojtowicz2379 The solution makes anywhere you put it looks shine new. Like any product you use Low trim or high traffic steps it dulls the shine but still a new look. My next service I want to do is large entire bumpers or large wheel wells.
WADetailing,,,,, Great video, well done and to the point with just enough detail. This stuff works great and is easy enough to apply. I'm shocked how good it looks. Thanks man. WOW !
GREAT!! Love it!! Bought some!! As a side question, whatever happened to you using "Extra Tough?" I bought it when you recommended it and love it, but I don't see it in your list of products. Any reason? Thanks.
How long does this last? Should something be put on top of this afterwards as a ‘protectant’? What do you recommend for non porous surfaces like the exterior trim around windows?
Obviously this guy doesn't respond to questions as his process was as bad as useless as it tits on a bull. After you apply this and it has covered well you may notice you need to apply another coat if so do that 4 hours after your first coat and then top it with Gtechniq EVO V4, desirably to coats and this will last for years just remember to give a final wipe down after allowing solution finish to cure for at least 12 hours and then wipe it down before you apply your top coat ceramic.
Question I need to ask...How long does it last? All finishes make black trim look better-great at first application but how is it long term? Weeks/ Months? or longer? Also living in a hot dry climate how does it stand up to rain, snow & such? I like dyes much better than dressings, one coating I don't like which a lot of people do like is CeraKote but it leaves a gloss finish like the trim has been painted gloss black. I use Forever Black (it's a dye too) but there's one drawback which is it sticks to whatever it touches (don't get it on your paint!) but it lasts for me a year +.
I'm thinking of ordering some, also in Aus. Have a fantastic older Camry with no k's on it that i am restoring the paint and trim. How has this stuff held up. Thanks in advance.
@@cudgee7144 It holds up really well! Mostly on more rough plastics rather than smooth plastic and rubber. I have re applied it maybe twice in 2 years. Great stuff
@@calebbonsall-pearson3218 Thanks mate for the reply. I ordered some yesterday, what do you use or recommend for the smooth plastic. Rear view mirrors and the plastic between the back and front doors. Thanks again for your input. Have a good one.
@@cudgee7144 yeah no problem. I still use it on the rubber and mirrors it just doesnt seem to absorb as well so I have to apply more and it wears off faster. I've tried a few other products like Bowdens Vinyl Revival but nothing seems to work as well as the solution finish.
@@calebbonsall-pearson3218 Mate just thought i would let you know after all the help you gave me. I bought some Autoglym professional plastic and trim restorer. Seems like really good stuff for smooth plastic, we have had some really humid weather with tropical downpours and has not faded or run and really easy to apply. And cheap, one litre cost me $43 delivered, and will last a long time, you don't need much per application. 😀
Looks like Luke isn't reading comments. So, as someone who has used this product: it lasts pretty well for a good 6 months outside in Midwest weather. You can let it cure for 5 hours and retreat if the black is not dark enough and even enough. The next application in 6 or so months will require even less effort and will not take more than one coating. Recently, the company has released a topper for SF (wait untill it cures) called "Over the Top Plastic Sealer." In this country, Rag Company has an exclusive contact for the Sealer. It's supposed to add 3 months to the life expectancy, and you can reapply SF over the Sealer when the trim finally fades. You can top off more than once and so extend the time before reapplying SF. Note: I haven't used the Sealer yet. It's on order. PS: I don't know how anyone would have rain removing this, unless you did a really terrible job preparing the plastic. SF says to use 70% alcohol or higher. This targets silicone, which has often been applied. It's important to use a strong enough solution.
Would it then be good to put some trim protectant on top of the Solution finish? Just wondering how to make it last as long as possible, or maybe when (if needed) to do the process over. Thanks for a good video.
Maybe a combination treatment of the Solution finish and ceratrim would be ideal. The solution finish gets the black back and the ceratrim bolsters it with the addition of the ceramic protection making it last for ages. That would be a great video right there..
@Dane You don't have a clue what I was talking about, do you. Firstly, I'm not the one with a detailing channel. I, like you, come in search of appropriate content like everybody else with a hope to learn something. You obviously don't have an understanding of the wider application of products except to try and belittle me for making a reasonable request that a lot of other people agree with. If you are secretly in love with Wilson, why don't you go and make your own video with him instead ? How about them apples ?
@Dane Why criticize at all ? I don't get why you need to be antagonistic. What did I ask that made your hackles stand up ? You need to lighten up and try and understand my position here before blabbing your mouth ok ?
Video recommendation: Can silicon spray like Permatex Silicon Lubricant be used in rubber in the door jamb, hatch and under the hood to protect them from being brittle? In addition, can it serve as trim restorer? TIA! ☺️
No it has a petroleum dissolent in it and it will only make it dry rot or become soft and break down the rubber, search the internet for rubber rejuvenator and you will see products that are mainly used for
Love your videos, hope you’ll look at Rustoleum wipe new as well. I started using and still use solution finish on occasion from Luke’s video on it in the past. What I found , it fails over a relatively short period reverting to the original full oxide finish hence I had to continue to use. ( Admittedly that might be because I had to wash or rinse my car off daily as I drive it professionally) Rustolrum wipe new actually dissolves the oxide surface and restores it. On my BMW X3 I used it once and never again! I sold it about year later and never touched it besides washes.
Idk if they changed the formula, but wipe new absolutely destroyed my black trim. The first time we used it it worked perfect, we bought more a couple weeks ago and now my trim looks like ashy garbage
@@mikki3274 I still use solution finish on some jobs but have moved on to Cerakote for more high end jobs. Many of my ceramic jobs have plastic that can restored with its application. I can’t get the Rustoleum product shipped to Maui and no one stocked it here, it’s been almost 2 years now, just shortly after that post. Saying that it did wonders on my old BMW X3.
@@mk8530 not really, it's called having a life. The product works better than almost everything. I'd recommend also ceramic coating after use just to add another layer of protection but the sun will always fade it if left outside all the time
Any product or best way to kind of mask, hide or make not so visible a couple of small light scratches on new matte black plastic car trim? The scratches are on the inside side of my right side mirror. The scratches appear as small white lines when in sunlight. Can't see then much when in shade. The car has only 800 miles and I have to look at the scratches every time I look out the side mirror. Painful on a brand new car. If they were somewhere else it wouldn't be as annoying. Not sure how it happened. I wash the car by hand. I was hoping it was just dirt but it's not. Doesn't wipe off. I didn't find any rocks or glass stuck in my sponges or wash mitt but buying new ones anyways. Not worth replacing the mirror. Just want to make it less noticeable. Would any of the typical back to black products help on new black matte trim or just make it worse?
Do you see any major drawbacks of not wiping off the excess right away and moving around the whole vehicle and then coming back around and wiping excess?

Maybe a combination treatment of the Solution finish and ceratrim would be ideal. The solution finish gets the black back and the ceratrim bolsters it with the addition of the ceramic protection making it last for ages.
That would be a great video right there..

@Dane You don't have a clue what I was talking about, do you.
Firstly, I'm not the one with a detailing channel. I, like you, come in search of appropriate content like everybody else with a hope to learn something.
You obviously don't have an understanding of the wider application of products except to try and belittle me for making a reasonable request that a lot of other people agree with.
If you are secretly in love with Wilson, why don't you go and make your own video with him instead ? How about them apples ?
@Dane Why criticize at all ? I don't get why you need to be antagonistic. What did I ask that made your hackles stand up ?
You need to lighten up and try and understand my position here before blabbing your mouth ok ?
What do you recommend for the black rubber around the windows that you said this product wouldn’t work for
Would you please write specifically what 'dye' you are using in the small bottle.
Btw first channel I've subscribed to. You are awesome. Thank you
What the heck happened to the Extra Tough APC you have been raving about ????????
I've got the Solution Finish and I like it, but someone told me flood penetrol will do just the same thing. Is this true?
Calculator watch? Wow I haven't seen one of those since the 80's! Nice video though. thanks.
Video recommendation: Can silicon spray like Permatex Silicon Lubricant be used in rubber in the door jamb, hatch and under the hood to protect them from being brittle?
In addition, can it serve as trim restorer? TIA! ☺️
No it has a petroleum dissolent in it and it will only make it dry rot or become soft and break down the rubber, search the internet for rubber rejuvenator and you will see products that are mainly used for
I'm hoping to do bumper trim and side trim on my car. Would 1oz be enough?
How long does this last looking like this in Florida sun and if car is being washed though????
Great advise! What product can I use to protect and enhance the exhaust cover and winglets on my Ducati Panigale V4? Thanks
Have you tried the Adams black trim restoration
what solution have you used on your eyebrows?
Love your videos, hope you’ll look at Rustoleum wipe new as well.
I started using and still use solution finish on occasion from Luke’s video on it in the past. What I found , it fails over a relatively short period reverting to the original full oxide finish hence I had to continue to use. ( Admittedly that might be because I had to wash or rinse my car off daily as I drive it professionally) Rustolrum wipe new actually dissolves the oxide surface and restores it. On my BMW X3 I used it once and never again! I sold it about year later and never touched it besides washes.
That sounds great. Thanks for sharing.
Idk if they changed the formula, but wipe new absolutely destroyed my black trim. The first time we used it it worked perfect, we bought more a couple weeks ago and now my trim looks like ashy garbage
@@mikki3274 I still use solution finish on some jobs but have moved on to Cerakote for more high end jobs. Many of my ceramic jobs have plastic that can restored with its application. I can’t get the Rustoleum product shipped to Maui and no one stocked it here, it’s been almost 2 years now, just shortly after that post. Saying that it did wonders on my old BMW X3.
Good video. The 1 million dollar question? You applied this on 07/19 how is it holding so far? after car washes, sun, dust, etc.. is it still holding?
No Answer, is an Answer.
@@mk8530 not really, it's called having a life. The product works better than almost everything. I'd recommend also ceramic coating after use just to add another layer of protection but the sun will always fade it if left outside all the time
If you do it in sections and overlap a section you’ve already done, can you tell? Does it cause high and low spots?
Any product such as this one that would work with interior plastic black trim pieces? Thanks!
Thank you for this tip. Seems fairly easy to do. I appreciate it!
Purchasing from your link, thanks! Follow up? How long does this last?
Awesome video man! Can you do a ceramic coat over this product?
Could this also be used to treat faded exposed weather stripping?
You can actually put a trim coating on top of solution finish once it’s fully dry.
Wow. Do you really have on a late '70s calculator watch ??? Brings back memories.......
What? Lol
Either smooth or textured works for me
so much waffle, just get on with it for christ sakes
Yeah Definitely
Yeap
Right!
Had to hit 10 min for RUclips reasons.
I thought it was very educational. People are way too impatient lol
I have use black leather dye for years since cheap plastic bumpers and trim, try it out
Can this use for door handle ?
Any product or best way to kind of mask, hide or make not so visible a couple of small light scratches on new matte black plastic car trim? The scratches are on the inside side of my right side mirror. The scratches appear as small white lines when in sunlight. Can't see then much when in shade. The car has only 800 miles and I have to look at the scratches every time I look out the side mirror. Painful on a brand new car. If they were somewhere else it wouldn't be as annoying. Not sure how it happened. I wash the car by hand. I was hoping it was just dirt but it's not. Doesn't wipe off. I didn't find any rocks or glass stuck in my sponges or wash mitt but buying new ones anyways. Not worth replacing the mirror. Just want to make it less noticeable. Would any of the typical back to black products help on new black matte trim or just make it worse?
Can you use cerakote on top of this??
good tips nice finish on trim
Hi you didn’t show your cloth after wiping it over to see if it’s collected any solution on the solution
Why isn’t your link to this product available? It says it out of stock.
I personally love black trim.
Is this still the best option
Nice, good presentation - factual to the point!
couldn't figure out product link?

Any suggestions for a Avalanche that has gray plastic cladding?
I used back to black. Does that need to be removed somehow before using this
Do you see any major drawbacks of not wiping off the excess right away and moving around the whole vehicle and then coming back around and wiping excess?
WHAT'S THE LONGEVITY?
That intro threw me for a loop. I drive the same CRV and have a big scrape on the panel you intro with that I'll be working on/restoring tomorrow.
