Faded Black Trim? How Trim Restoration Brings It Back
Why plastic and rubber car trim fades to gray, how professional trim restoration works and how to protect trim from sun and salt.
Gray, chalky trim makes even clean paint look tired. Bumpers, mirror caps, window surrounds and wheel arches are especially prone to fading, and strong sun and salt air at the shore speed it up.
Why trim fades
Unpainted plastic and rubber trim contains oils and pigments that UV light breaks down over time. Harsh chemicals from automatic washes and salt exposure make it worse.
What trim restoration does
Professional trim restoration deep-cleans the surface, then restores the dark, even color and protects it against further fading. The result lasts far longer than a quick tire-shine style dressing.
Price
Trim Restoration is available as an add-on: $100 for a car, $125 for a crossover, $150 for an SUV or truck and $175 for an XL vehicle or van.
