Frequently Asked Questions
What trims can you restore?
Faded black plastics, greyed bumpers, scuttle and cowl panels, mirror housings, wheel arch trims and SUV or 4x4 cladding.
How long do the results last?
With the UV-resistant protection applied and proper maintenance, results last considerably longer than dressings alone.
Can badly weathered trim be saved?
In most cases, yes. Heavily faded plastics are treated with specialist chemical restoration for a dramatic improvement.
Is this done on or off the car?
Trim is assessed individually and restored in place at our studio using the safest, most effective method for each material.
Does it work alongside a detail?
Yes, trim restoration pairs perfectly with a deep clean, enhancement or correction detail for a complete refresh.
