What this means is that you now have a protective coating of unparalleled durability. Unlike many trim products on the market Gtechniq C4 is an exceptionally thin (circa 30nm) optically clear film which means that it does not add an unattractive gloss film to the surface instead it restores all but the most faded trim to an as new condition. You can expect approximately 2 years from a single application. C4 uses a covalent or chemical bond to actually become an extension of the plastic molecule it's protecting, swapping part of its molecular structure with the surface molecules of your car's trim to provide a protective coating of unparalleled durability. Revitalise tired and faded trim such as those found on wing mirror surrounds, windscreen wipers/trim, bumpers, mud-flaps, engine bays and more. Expensive for what it is and does not come with enough application pads as stated in above review. Also spoke to G Techniq for advice on how much I would need for the entire interior of an Audi A3... guess what? I ran out. Now I have a brand spanking new looking interior but a driver side door that looks aged. When applying the Meguiar’s plastic restorer, it’s advised that you use a small amount on an applicator pad and work the formula into the surface. It dries instantly and it’s non greasy to reduce the chances of leftover residue being left behind.
It has made a noticable difference to the slightly faded plastics and even got rid of one minor stain - plastics have a lustre added to them. The final option would be to simply paint the plastic trim. The plastic may be past restoring and this would be a permanent fix. Alternatively, you could plasti dip the plastic trim or even use automotive vinyl wrap to cover up any defects. Work in a well-ventilated area, at a temperature above 5 degrees Celcius and out of direct sunlight. Wear the gloves provided C4 uses a covalent or chemical bond to actually become an extension of the plastic molecule it's protecting.Gtechniq C4 is more than just a polish though. The reason it appealed to us to test was due to the fact that, according to the blurb, “ Gtechniq C4 utilises a covalent or chemical bond to actually become an extension of the plastic molecule it’s protecting. Not to be confused with much weaker electrostatic bonds used by, amongst others, ptfe based polymers Gtechniq C4 actually swaps part of its molecular structure with the surface molecules of your car’s trim.” Stay out of the sun:The sun's UV rays is exactly what causes car plastic trim to fade. Don't apply the trim restorer products in the sun.
Nothing makes all your hard work after perfecting the paint look more incomplete then old faded trim.

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? To work ... I used neat IPA and a number of make-up remover pads. Well, my Mrs has requisitioned at least one spray bottle of Serious Performance Ultra Citrus Cleaner for household tasks, so I thought the return of favour was fair. Yes, make-up remover pads. Best get the kind of cushioned ones which cannot be ripped apart easily - any fluff is a bit of a pig if it catches on old rubber, or something like.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. Ensure that the surface to be coated is entirely free from fats/oils or previously applied products – for this clean trim vigorously with a 1:10 dilution of Gtechniq W2 Universal Cleaner Soak the pad with several drops of product. Use the AP1 Lint-free Applicator supplied to spread the coating onto the surface of your trim. This product has an oily consistency that makes it easy to spread out for an even finish. Since it’s a topical solution it also helps repel water and other contaminants.
