I finally broke down and ordered this product after going to their web site and never completing my order out of uncertainty.
I'm sure there's other products that work as well (maybe?) but I'm here to tell you, no matter the cost, this stuff works!
It's a miracle cure for black plastic and rubber trim, the first coat never sinks in, splotches or dissipates like most other trim restorer does.
I applied mine with an applicator pad, so once the pad was soaked I rarely had to re-wet it.
I'm on my 4th coat, letting them cure 24hrs between coats on my truck and Jeep (including wheels) and still have 3/4 of the 16oz bottle left (comes with 18oz total for $65.00+$10 for shipping=$75.00 total).
You have to wash your vehicle with pure water after because car wash will "cut" the ceramic glazing off, no big deal to me as this is the only way I washed my vehicles for years and only went with car wash that included wax over the last few years for protection (it works, somewhat).
The glazing (when applied with an applicator pad) goes on in a somewhat greasy consistency, doing it in sections you then just buff it off with a dry towel and it immediately gets as slippery as "owl shit on wet slippery elm branch."
You must clay bar prior to using, but the product does not cover, hide or mask rain spots in any manner as advertised. Those would have to be "color corrected" prior to using if this is your intent.
The product does "stack" and is very evident when used on the black trim, not so evident on the paint if your paint is already wet looking, but the depth does get deeper with each coat.
I really noticed the difference on my Jeep when applied. The Jeep's paint was always shiny, but not wet looking like my truck until after using this product. Now it's developing a deep, wet look and the trim is looking phenomenal after 4 applications on both vehicles.
The true test to me will be the longevity after time and rain. This will determine if I buy it again, if it holds up, it's worth the money for sure.
You be the judge, here are some photos I took this morning.
