GTechniq Auto: C4 Permanent Trim Restorer
You may have noticed that the once shiny and new black plastic pieces of trim on your vehicle are not so shiny or new looking anymore. Now they are more grayish and chalky than the bold and fresh look they once had long ago when the vehicle rolled off the lot.
This is because plastic trim pieces do not have a protective clear coat like the paint job on your vehicle. This leaves your vehicle’s trim wide open for a beating from UV rays and other harsh elements that harms its appearance over time. Plastic also contains oils which, over a period of time, begin to break down and thus lead to the surface of the plastic becoming brittle and changing in color.
C4 utilises a chemical bond to become an extension of the plastic molecule it is protecting.
The coating swaps part of its molecular structure with the surface molecules of your car’s trim. This means that you have a protective coating of unparalleled durability.
Unlike many trim products on the market, C4 is exceptionally thin (circa 30 nanometers) optically clear film – this means it will not add an unattractive gloss finish to the surface. Instead, it restores all, but the most faded trim to an ‘as new’ condition. It is ideal for new trim, helping to prevent fading.
