Quick answer
Rapid Black Trim & Plastic Restorer is a lightweight suspension gel that revives faded, chalky exterior trim to a deep black finish with long-lasting high-gloss shine.
Why trim fades and how Rapid Black works
UV rays, road grime, and weather exposure cause plastic and rubber trim to turn chalky and gray. Rapid Black uses a light suspension gel that spreads evenly into textured surfaces, cracks, and tight spots, restoring color without dripping or running.
How to restore faded trim with Rapid Black
- Wash and dry the trim area: Clean the trim thoroughly with car soap and water to remove dirt, wax, and silicone. Dry completely with a microfiber towel. Skipping this step can cause the restorer to bead up or not adhere properly.
- Apply Rapid Black to the applicator pad: Shake the bottle well. Apply a small amount of Rapid Black to a clean foam applicator pad or microfiber cloth. Work in small sections. Too much product can cause uneven drying; start with a dime-sized amount per section.
- Spread evenly into the trim surface: Using firm, even pressure, spread the gel into the trim. Work it into textured areas and along edges. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Do not let it dry completely before buffing or you may get streaks.
- Buff off excess with a clean microfiber: Use a separate dry microfiber towel to gently buff away any excess product. The trim should look deep black with a glossy finish. If you see residue, you left too much on; buff again with a fresh towel section.
- Allow to cure and avoid moisture: Let the restorer cure for at least 2-3 hours before exposing the trim to rain or washing. For best longevity, avoid car washes for 24 hours. Curing time is essential for durability; rushing it can reduce the finish life.
