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 Scarborough, 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 Scarborough City Centre 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.

Scarborough has plenty of detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, plus townhouse complexes and a growing number of condo and apartment towers around Scarborough Town Centre and along Kennedy and Eglinton, so we are comfortable setting up in a driveway, a visitor lot or an underground garage.
Winter salt and slush on the 401, Kingston Road and Lawrence Avenue East leave heavy residue on lower panels and in carpets. Cars parked near the lake along the Bluffs deal with damp air and spring pollen from the many mature trees.
A drive from Scarborough to a downtown shop can mean an hour or more each way on the 401 or DVP. Mobile detailing saves that trip and works well with the many driveways in the area.
We regularly work in Steeles, Centennial Scarborough and Scarborough City Centre, and every other part of Scarborough.
