Restoring Black Trim
My black trim, most noticeably the side moldings, have lost some of their black "pop" over the years and now are more of a very dark grey. What do you guys use to bring them back again?

Re: Restoring Black Trim
get a good car wash soap and a toothbrush or a soft interior brush and scrub lightly and see how that goes

Re: Restoring Black Trim
I like Stoner's Trim Shine, Adam's VRT or Griot's Garage Vinyl & Rubber. Adams probably the best

Re: Restoring Black Trim
Trim Shine is great. You can also use a heat gun to (carefully) warm plastic trim. Works great.

Re: Restoring Black Trim
A good cleaning to removed any dirt and contaminants from the texture and then a plastic/rubber trim dressing. As mentioned, Adams VRT is popular (I have not used it) or I use CarPro Perl which seems to hold up well. You'll have to reapply semi-regularly to maintain a deep black matte finish.
