    I will be detailing my aunts 03 4runner, which has severely faded grey exterior hard, porous plastic trim all over.

    I assume GTechniq C4 will work, but wanted to be sure. Most trim restorers, as long as not a dye, should be able to restore grey trim just as well as it does black, correct?

    Also, I just mentioned C4, but what would be your preferred choice for this material?

    Thank you!

    Sponsored product Black Wow (and Pre Wow) will work on collored trim.

    I've been liking AF Revive a lot lately. Looks great, beads very well, and a little goes a long way. I stopped using Black Wow. I found it too difficult to deal with. It's not a bad product, but Revive is suuuuper easy

    I am having issues with C4 right now on one section of my trim. It is a painted (glossy) b-pillar trim. Trying to find a way to remove it and reapply.

    I don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" answer. It appears to me that it is almost luck of the draw among half a dozen products as what works great on one car will look splotchy or quickly fail on another. Nothing I have tried so far has been both reliably durable and provided consistently great looking results across a wide range of vehicle plastic and vinyl trim. How to safely completely remove products like G|t C4 or CP DLUX from textured plastic or vinyl also eludes me.

    believe it or not collinite 845 has a nice look on some plastics and of course beads like crazy just like on paint.
