Exterior Trim Replacement?
Hey guys, so I need some advice from you all. My MCS is an '03 and her trim is starting to look a bit weathered. I use meguiars black plastic restorer on it and for a while it looks pretty good, however after a week it goes back to the weathered look.
I was looking into replacing all the trim for that brand new look but it's gonna cost a little over $700 for all new pieces. Should I bite the bullet or are there amazing restoring products out there I'm missing?
Thanks,
Roo

You can keep apply VRP from CG, it will last longer then most.

Or if the trim is beyond hope. Paint it , or replace it.

Yea, you have to get it clean with either car soap or a mild citrus greaser , just to get the blobs of tar or anything off first. Then apply the VRP on that clean surface.

Gtechniq C4 gets good reviews. Worth a try before splashing out on new trim.

I Used the VRP for some time on my old 250K+ trim, brings it back to life, but if you have deep chips and scares on the rear wheel arches , it hides some of them. If its gashed then you will need new arches.
