Poorboys Trim Restorer - DetailCity.org

I applied Poorboys Trim Restorer to all of the external plastic trim on my truck yesterday.It went on even and easy.It left a high gloss shine to all of my trim.Today it rained,so I inspected the trim and found no oily run off on the paint around the trim.The trim looked perfect and shiny without any waterspotting.The water beads on the trim just like it was waxed.A couple of very small spots where I had wax on the trim were still black.

I am very impressed with this stuff.If you dont have any in your supplies,this is a must have.Its the best trim dressing I have ever used,by a long shot.Man,get some of this stuff.

Great..................... another product to add to the list!

Is it watery, or like a gel?

NozeBleedSpeed · 08-06-2003, 05:37 PM

It is a very thin liquid.I just used a cotton towel stretched over my finger and sprayed onto the towel. Steve had recommended using a foam paint brush and I think it would be a lot easier to apply that way.

NozeBleed,

Excellent! Keep us posted on the durability of the product.

Just checked it again. This is the 3rd consecutive day of rain. I can see flat spots where I didnt apply enough becuase the beading has flattened out.In larger areas,where it was easier to apply more liberally,I found it beading like wax.I cant see any runoff from bedrails onto the paint underneath.The high gloss has disappeared and become more of that "dressed" look.I guess the trim must have absorbed more after several hours.No wax marks on the trim has returned(They were very slight). So far this is the best trim product Ive used. A small bottle should do many,many treatments. You guys need to add this stuff to your arsenal.I hope to hear what others think that try it.

Funny thing is,I asked Steve what he thought his best product was and I expected him to say S&W. He recommended this as his best product. Im starting to see why. Am I the only one using this?

I am excited, and cannot wait to use this when my order gets here. I tried Z-16 on my trim, and it ran from just a little rain.

Nope, not the only person using it

TR has pretty good durability and leaves the areas treated looking new. I personally love this stuff!
