Trim Restoration

Exterior trim restoration addresses faded or uneven-looking plastic trim. Cleaning and a suitable treatment can improve its appearance, but the result depends on the material and how much it has weathered. I assess the trim before choosing a treatment.

Which trim can be treated?

Unpainted exterior plastic around wheel arches, bumpers, and other panels may benefit from treatment. Painted trim, rubber seals, textured plastic, and glossy decorative pieces can need different approaches. I check the actual surface rather than treating every dark panel alike.

Why does trim need cleaning first?

Road film, old dressings, wax residue, and dirt can make trim look uneven. Cleaning helps reveal whether the issue is surface contamination or weathering in the material. A treatment applied over residue may give an uneven or short-lived result.

What are the limits of restoration?

A surface treatment does not rebuild cracked plastic, repair broken clips, or replace a missing finish. Severely damaged trim may need replacement or refinishing. I discuss likely appearance changes and maintenance without promising every piece will look new.

Common questions

Is trim restoration the same as tire dressing?

No. Exterior plastic and tire rubber are different surfaces. The product and preparation need to match the material.

Will the color improvement last permanently?

No permanent result is promised. Material condition, exposure, product choice, and washing affect durability.

How do I book trim restoration?

Check the exterior add-ons in the booking menu or text photos of the faded areas so I can confirm the scope.
