    Apart from ETR or Black Again what in your experience is the best semi-permanent trim dressing for faded trim pieces?

    3D Trim Protectant is very good. Not permanent but it last several weeks and a 16 oz bottle will last most people (expect anyone foolish enough to own an Aztec) quite a while.

    The owner told me that after 4 months it was still looking good.



    Forget the Aztec LOL, I did an Avalanche and that thing had more plastic trim that anything I`ve ever seen

    Gtechniq`s C4 is the longest lasting I`ve tried.



    After C4, the next longest lasting for me has been Ultima`s Trim and Tire Guard. I used this on my tires 2 weeks ago and my girlfriend asked if I just dressed them today. She`s a big "tire shine" fan and often asks me to put a fresh coat on her tires. lol

    I`ve also had good luck with the 3D Trim Protectant--been on the black clading around the entire bottom of my Passat for 2 months now and still looks good--can`t beat the price.

    I did not like the Mothers back 2 black or my 16oz bottle of CG super VRP. The super VRP was ok, I didn`t care for the look. The back 2 black never seemed to dry evenly no matter what I did.



    Right now I have a bottle of SCG beyond black that I have been using and it actually last pretty well compared to the VRP. Maybe I wasn`t getting the surface clean enough but I never got much durability out of it.



    I really liked the look of that CQuartz stuff in the other thread. I will most likely end up just throwing some of the 3d stuff in my cart on my next order.

    I use the Ultima Trim and Tire Guard for trim that`s in decent condition; I usually prep with Griot`s Rubber Prep (freakin` miracle product!).



    When I`m going the "slime" route, I like Autoglym`s Bumper Care.



    Then there`s the KAIO topped with KSG or 845 route.

    I`ve had very good success with Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus. I always clean the trim well first. The Griot`s Rubber Prep is a very good product and their Rubber Cleaner has also worked well for me. I`ve also had success with Megs APC+ at 10:1 as a pre-cleaner. Proper Prep will be the key to any of the above mentioned products.
