Many thanks to Carmor for sending me a sample of their Trim Restorer. They waited a good bit of time for this review, so thanks for their patience! Vehicle is a RX330 with 127K Miles and is utilized pretty heavily by my family. Rear trim always takes a beating in the sun. I only had time to prep the rear section with crazy Christmas Season.
Prep: Power Clean, GR40 Cleaner, Alcohol, various brushes, microfibers, and paper towels to strip the trim. I also used a hair dryer to ensure a perfectly dry area.
Usage: Very easy, requires a few passes to ensure proper look/coverage. I used the provided q tips for the small areas/ridges/letters to ensure coverage. Very easy to use.
Cost: Unsure, believe someone mentioned it was $35 for a bottle. For my small usage I feel you can definitely do a medium sized vehicle
Packaging: Comes with gloves, cleaning towel, product bottle wrapped tightly, q tips, and swatches for proper prep.
Performance: Appearance is very OEM (Or I applied enough to restore back to a nice OEM shine without being overly fake.
Pictures will do all the talking. Now all that is needed is proper curing time, a few months in brutal Chicago weather and we'll see the results! Package contents are good and numerous, price is reasonable, and I feel you don't use too much product.
Package contents beside my messy tools (Power Clean, Gr40, Hair Dryer!)
Notice the whiteness and pail trim. Not the worst, but in direct sun this isn't "black".
After Application:
Up close look, I went for more of an OEM look than super wet/drippy.
