Cerakote ceramic trim coat is the best plastic coating Money can buy

[@RowlandPeters]

Appreciate the comparison! DIY and CarPro are my picks for sure, OEM-like matte finish is what I'm after!

[@xxichikokoxx]

im surprised no cerakote

[@wescat2]

I feel like DIY Restore & Protect is similar to Solution Finish, but with the protection built in. The black dye does great and the protection is a bonus.

[@ericwright1075]

I am staring to use Stoner Ceramic Hybrid products more often. They do the job for this amateur detail geek.🇨🇦👍👍

[@StonerCarCare]

Thanks for including us in your test! Look forward to the results 😁

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

H.D. thanks for your thoughts. 2 products I like to use are Cerakote Trim & Malco Revive Nu. Both are long lasting. I've used Perl, but didn't last long. I have just bought Griot's Garage Ceramic trim, jury is still out? I've heard a lot about Lithium Trim Cubes, never used? I always consider where the product is made and the cost. If you are doing this in a business, the more you spend, the less goes back into your pocket. That's where Maloco Shines...

I’m glad you ran the test the way you did. Just like ceramic coating on clear coat, the panel needs to be cleaned out first. I want to see how they look in 12mo. You’ll have to drive around town with lines on your bumper trim!

[@abutler0311]

I've had the best results just removing the plastic peice and painting it

[@05xrunner]

PERL looks the best I think but like you said doesnt last. Usually washes off for me in like 2-3 rain storms. I think DIY looks best on the un polished plastic. Yvan said the more chalky the plastic is the better it will soak into it. I will probably try the DIY stuff after i use up my Solution Finish

[@wisetow10]

I can’t wait to see the test in time to see how each holds up in a real world test! Thanks for all you do!!!

[@keithp115]

Just came home from a memorable two week vaca (and 7 day cruise) to your home state. You live in paradise my man. Loved it more than anything!

[@chrissothras5461]

Keep them coming. Thanks for sacrificing the truck!

[@stevensanchez7740]

Dang after the little water test they all look good man really good test

[@oldatarigamer]

Awesome review and tesing!

[@scottanderson81]

Thanks for this! Appreciate your channel, I really like the DIY plastic coating and love using Perl, I use it for interior and exterior plastic trim maybe once every 2 weeks! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Great video! Try the Cerakote wipes or the Lithium trim cubes. I've had success with both.
