Keeping black plastic trim BLACK!?

[Impatient]

+1 for this stuff. 1 application lasts about a year. You just have to be careful not to get it on the paint.

+1 for this. Very easy to apply and works as advertised

Gyeon q2 trim has been working well for me.

I use the Cerakote and love it I used all 8 wipes and did the wheel wells as well. My main reasoning is the UV protection it gives. I think Project farm on youtube did a bunch of testing and this one won out on protection and it doesn't get much easier to use.

Based on comments here I purchased the Cerakote wipes. I noticed the instructions say intended for use on faded trim... not to use on 'new' trim. Before I apply to my newish R1T, should I have any concerns? Thanks.

No.

THANKS! I detail my own car and handwash it when needed due to ceramics. I really enjoy turning up the music and cleaning my car, it's like therapy. -Kendra

How often do you hand wash?

I thought I'd do mine by hand weekly... That turned into monthly, so I started doing a weekly touchless lowest-tier wash. The least amount of chemicals possible. My ceramic is still holding up almost 2 years on!

By hand - whenever I can not stand all the bugs and dirt. With it being CY, it shows quite a bit. Usually ends up being twice a month I hand wash with a very mild soap that my ceramics guy highly recommended. I am very very picky about the products I use.

We're going to test that!



Cerakote ended up winning (some caveats). It also gets mentioned again in the channel's "Best Made in USA" video.

I used the Cerakote last time around and after 2 months or so, it is no longer as nice looking than when I first applied it. I used about 4-5 wipes to do the entire truck, are those of you who swear by it using more than that or less? Just curious if I didn't apply enough product to the trim.

I think I doubled that amount of wipes or close to double. Happy with the results.

Here is an example of the Cerakote Restorer, I could not get rid of what looks like a mfg seam line on the trim over the front wheels, this seems to do a good job hiding them. Here are before/after samples, you can zoom in to see the line that is right on the bend of the piece.
