Before you book
What to know about trim restoration
The exact products and steps vary by vehicle and provider, but a professional service usually follows this pattern.
How it typically works
- Identify the material and test a small area
- Clean and prepare the trim
- Apply a compatible restoration treatment and follow its cure requirements
Results and limitations
Recoverable trim should look darker and more uniform, with durability depending on the material and treatment.
Cracked, peeling, or severely degraded plastic may need replacement. Confirm the treatment and expected durability with the provider.
Ask the detailer to inspect your vehicle and confirm the scope, expected improvement, price, and cure or drying time before work begins.
