In this video we look at these 2 trim restore products after 8 months. The plastic restorer reviews on Amazon do reflect this now as well. Seems like most people hated it as much as I did. In the first video we take time to compare 2 different Plastic Trim Restorers. The Rust-Oleum Wipe New and the Plastic Restorer. I was trying to put the Wipe New up against a similar product to Cerakote, but ended up comparing to a much more inferior ceramic coating product. The Plastic Trim restorer did not perform nearly as well as the Cerakote showed previously in other comparisons such as Project Farms. Hope you found the video informational and at least know which product to avoid. Let me know in the comments if you would like a 6 month update on this. Also let me know if you would like to see other comparisons. These were purchased from Amazon as seen in the screen shots in the video.
