Use the lint free application pads supplied with the C4 Permanent Trim Restorer to spread the coating onto the surface of your trim A quality trim restorer will do more than just dye the plastic or sit on top, both of which are superficial, temporary solutions to your problem and will wash away in the slightest rain.

If required use a medium-stiff brush For this we recommend cleaning trim vigorously with a 1:10 dilution of Gtechniq W2 Universal Cleaner The process I use to paint trim is to first clean it really well, then wipe with a wax and grease remover, then spray an adhesion promoter, and finally paint with a flexible primer and satin paint meant for exterior use. Once you have spread the product onto a single piece of trim, immediately remove excess product using a Gtechniq Microfibre Cloth If you want as permanent of a solution as you can get then you’ll need to consider painting your plastic trim. This works great on non load bearing surfaces (trim you’ll step on or set things on) like wiper cowls, bumpers, wheel well arches, etc…

Look at ceramic coating your car as it offers excellent protection against the harmful UV rays that damage your car’s trim. Why should I care? I have a few areas which I had ear-marked for the C4 treatment, or coating I should say: wing mirrors, windows surrounds, rear light clusters, rear number plate surrounds and wheel arch flares. The rest of the "plastics" on our cars are actually painted and lacquered. Application is quite simple with C4. Included in the kit is everything you will need to use, including cotton applicators that will be used to apply the product. You will apply a small amount of coating on the applicator to start applying. A small amount will go a long way when using this product, and you will want to be sure that you are applying the product evenly. Because the coating forms its bond immediately it is very important to remove excess coating from the treated surface and any that has gone onto the vehicles bodywork or glass within 5 minutes of application

Using a heat gun to heat up the trim can bring out the oils in the plastic. However, all plastics are different and only so much oil can be taken from the plastic. It would also be best to test on a hidden piece of plastic before you attempt visible areas.
