I have read conflicting reviews both good and bad about this Wipe New Trim Restorer. I have detailed for 4+ years and I am sick of constantly putting trim shine and such on all my plastics such as mirror trim, wiper cowl, fog surrounds, etc etc and I would love to try this stuff if some people on here can vouch for the product being somewhat worth it. Even if it only lasts 6 months, that is 6 months I don't have to shine it everytime I wash it.

it's just a dressing like any other.

I thought it was a hardened clear basically

My girl got her dad something for his trucks bumper but I cant remember the name, it apparently got better reviews than wipe new and I think may have been a few bucks cheaper. Ill ask her what its called and Ill put it here for you.

Look up a product called "PERL". It's great for dressing all sorts of things....it actually stands for Plastic, Engine, Rubber, Leather. It's superior to Back to Black and the other trim dressings. The only difference is Perl doesn't have any cleaners in it where as some of the others do. If your trim is already cleaned then definitely try Perl. It's dilutable to varying strengths depending on what you use it on. It has also out lasted the other popular trim restores by a decent margin. There was a guy on Autogeek that did i think a 2 month comparison. I'll try to dig it up for you
