Restores and protects exterior plastics with SolGel durability

Revives aged exterior plastics to their authentic, factory-true colour. Ideal for revitalising older trims and safeguarding brand-new trim. The formula sets to a non-greasy, satin finish and is engineered to prevent streaking or runoff, even in wet conditions. 

RESTORE COLOUR AND BUILD LONG-TERM PROTECTION

Exterior plastics can fade quickly down under, thanks to harsh UV, heat and constant exposure to the elements. Bring faded trim back to life and protect new plastics before ageing begins.

SOLGEL TECHNOLOGY FOR EXCEPTIONAL LONGEVITY

Powered by advanced SolGel chemistry, the coating absorbs into the plastic surface and bonds tightly within its micropores. 3+ months or more of real-world durability and a tough, weather-resistant layer.

BUILT FOR LOCAL CONDITIONS

From bumpers to wheel arch trims, it’s designed for the realities of Aussie roads. A little goes a long way, making it practical for both enthusiasts and everyday drivers.

  1. Clean the Surface: Thoroughly wash and dry the area to be treated, ensuring no wax, polish, or existing dressings are present on the trim. 
  2. Apply Sparingly: Using the applicator, apply a small amount of product directly to the microfibre side of the pad (not the trim). Wipe the product evenly across the surface ensuring all areas are covered. We recommend wearing protective gloves, though it isn’t necessary 
  3. Allow to Dry: Let the coating bond for 5 minutes. Do NOT buff immediately 
  4. Remove Excess (if necessary): Gently wipe away excess residue with a clean microfibre cloth, especially from surrounding paintwork. 
  5. Curing Time: For maximum durability, the car can be driven normally, though avoid exposure to rain, or washing, for at least 24 hours after application.

What is Exterior Trim Restorer? 

Autoglym Exterior Trim Restorer is an easy to apply, ultra-durable, advanced coating that restores faded plastic trim to its original factory colour.

What car parts can Exterior Trim Restorer be used on? 

It's perfect for use on plastic exterior trim such as bumpers, wheel arch trims, door and sill protectors. 

How do I apply Exterior Trim Restorer?

The product comes as a kit with a precision foam applicator. Apply several drops of fluid to the light grey side of the applicator then apply in straight lines to the plastic part. Wait 5 minutes then buff lightly with a clean microfibre cloth.

What should I do if I get Exterior Trim Restorer on my paintwork? 

No problem, simply remove any surplus product from unwanted areas with a clean microfibre cloth.

Can I apply Exterior Trim Restorer in wet conditions? 

Rain or moisture may cause the product to run. For best results always apply in dry conditions.

Do I need to clean the plastic parts before applying Exterior Trim Restorer? 

Yes, this is essential for good adhesion of the product and maximum durability of the finish. We recommend using a pre-wash product like Autoglym All Purpose Cleaner for this. Ensure the parts are fully dry before applying the Exterior Trim Restorer.

How much trim can be coated with one 30ml bottle? 

A little goes a long way, and one bottle should be enough to treat 5 average sized cars

Can I drive my car immediately after application? 

We would advise to let the product cure for 20 min before driving the vehicle. Please wait 24hrs before washing the vehicle, and if rain is threatening, try and avoid that.

What kind of finish does Exterior Trim Restorer give? 

It is formulated to give a deep rich colour with a natural finish like when the plastic was new.

How long should Exterior Trim Restorer last? 

The length of time the finish will last will depend on multiple factors such as weather, driving milage and road conditions. However typically it would last for 3+ months. Significantly longer that traditional silicone-based products.

Can I use Exterior Trim Restorer on my tyres? 

For tyres, we recommend one of our specialist tyre dressings, such as Instant Tyre Dressing, which is more suited. 

Should I use this product on body-coloured or painted trim?

Exterior Trim Restorer is only for unpainted plastic trims. Painted trim should be treated in the same way as painted bodywork. 

What makes this product last longer than other products like Bumper & trim Gel? 

Exterior Trim Restorer features a new innovative SolGel technology which is absorbed into the micropores of the plastic and chemically bonds to the material.

Can I use this product in the home to restore faded plastics? 

We have found great results using Exterior Trim Restorer on faded garden plastics like seating and storage units as well as composite door panels. However, please only use on dark colours like black, greys, navy etc and always test on a small unobtrusive area first. Autoglym does not provide any guarantee of success with these materials. 

If I have dark grey trim on my car will this make the plastic black or just protect the grey? 

Exterior Trim Restorer will revive the trim to its ORIGINAL colour, whether black or grey, and won’t alter the colour otherwise. 

Will this product be removed if I clean my car with a pressure washer?

  The finish is extremely durable and can’t be removed by washing. Please also use your pressure washer sensibly on restored trim, keeping it a distance from the surface of the trim. 

Can I buy replacement applicator pads? 

Currently the applicator pads isn’t available separately. An alternative method to apply is a suitable microfibre cloth 

Can the applicators be washed in between uses?

Yes and we highly recommend it, as the microfibre surface can become clogged with solution and harden if not cleaned after application. Wash with a mild detergent, or warm water, leave to dry naturally and place back in the box with the solution.
