Faded grey plastic on bumpers, mirror caps and window surrounds makes a car look older than it is.
Faded grey plastic on bumpers, mirror caps and window surrounds makes a car look older than it is. The cause is UV exposure and wash chemicals that pull the oils from the plastic. For owners in Etobicoke, we restore the black at your driveway or garage, with a cleaning step first, because dressing over dirt never lasts.
We scrub the plastic with a trim cleaner and a stiff brush to remove old dressing, wax residue and road film, then let it dry completely. A masked edge protects the paint around it. We then apply a trim restorer, which deepens the colour and bonds to the plastic, and wipe off the excess for an even, satin finish.
Two types of products exist: dye-based restorers that darken quickly but fade over months, and coating-based ones that last longer and handle rain and car washes. We explain the difference and match it to your car and budget. Owners around Willowridge often ask for the longer-lasting option before winter, when salt and slush attack unprotected trim.
Trim restoration will not fix cracked, warped or sun-chalked plastic that has lost its texture, and we will say so up front. It works best on trim that is faded but intact. A restoration visit is usually under two hours, and it pairs well with an exterior detail or a sealant application. Ask us if you are unsure which category your trim falls into.

Etobicoke blends high-rise condo towers along the Humber Bay Shores waterfront with detached and semi-detached homes with driveways in Islington, Kingsway and Long Branch, plus townhouse and apartment complexes in Rexdale and along Kipling, so we set up in a driveway, visitor lot or garage as needed.
Lake Ontario brings damp air and winter spray, and road salt from the Gardiner, QEW and 427 coats lower panels and wheel wells through the cold months. Spring pollen and construction dust from ongoing condo development along the waterfront settle on paint.
Getting from Etobicoke to a downtown shop means the Gardiner at rush hour, and nearby shops can have long waits. A mobile detailer works in your driveway or condo garage and saves the trip.
We regularly work in The Kingsway, Thistletown and Willowridge, and every other part of Etobicoke.
