Not long lasting
Style: Trim & Plastic Restorer, 12 fl. oz.
Works well but might need multiple coats to get to shinny. Not long lasting.

Time will tell
Style: Trim & Plastic Restorer, 12 fl. oz., Style: Trim & Plastic Restorer, 12 fl. oz.
I sprayed off the shutters before using. Then applied the product. It’s a thicker, white liquid. (Think lotion) it applied easily and dried quickly since it was being absorbed into the plastic shutters and aluminum windows; mine were very ‘thirsty’ from being in the direct afternoon sunlight. I like how I didn’t have to worry if one part rcvd more product than another. It blended easily. I think it looks good, but so did using other products over the years. I was told by a neighbor that this was the best product to use on them and other plastics. Time will tell if it holds up.

Worked wonderfully and so easy!
Couldn’t believe how great this worked! I was waxing my car when I decided to wax the bumpers thinking this would protect them from the dry, sunny climate I live in. The bumpers turned white!!! Got the Meguiar’s Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer, wiped it on and they look brand new!!! Lesson to self…don’t wax plastic! I highly recommend.

It works effectively but be patient
This is great stuff but do not expect it to turn really faded out black plastic on the outside of your car to like-new condition after one application. However if you apply this to the black plastic on your car after each wash, it will soak in and turn it into an almost new appearance. And it will last! It works great but be patient.
