Best Car Plastic Restorers of 2025

"I found the CAR GUYS Plastic Restorer to be a reliable and effective solution for rejuvenating my car's plastic surfaces. It truly restored the faded and worn-out areas, especially on my Cherokee, giving it a refreshed and polished appearance. The application was straightforward, and a little went a long way without leaving streaks. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with sun damage!"

"After trying this on my 2018 Jeep, I was hopeful based on the reviews. It did a great job on some parts like the running boards and bumper guard, but unfortunately, the front bumper guard didn’t respond. I appreciated the outstanding customer service I received when I reached out for tips; they even offered a refund, which shows they stand behind their products."

"I was shocked at how well this worked on my old Land Rover Discovery. The difference was night and day! It took patience to apply evenly without streaks, but the results were worth it. My car's sun spots vanished, and I can confidently say it was a good investment!"

"I was thrilled with the results! After applying it three days in a row, my Jeep's faded plastic looks brand new. I've even used it on my son's Subaru, and it worked terrific!"

"This product has been my go-to for years. After each wash, I apply it to my car's trim and it maintains that like-new shine. Just remember, it may require reapplication every few weeks."

"At first, I had my doubts. However, this plastic restorer exceeded my expectations. It absorbs into the plastic without leaving a greasy feel, and it effectively protects against UV damage. Totally worth it!"

"I've tried many black lotions over the years with average results. I finally needed something for my 2006 H3, which has lots of black trim that had grayed out. After following the instructions and using a 70% alcohol wipe first, I applied the product with a foam pad. A little goes a LONG way! I bought the 2-ounce size and still have enough left for another application. The trim now has a beautiful low gloss finish!"

"I used this product to restore the front grill and rear bumper cover of my 2015 Mazda 3, and it worked fantastically! I watched an online video because the written instructions were lacking. It's crucial to use less than you think you need to avoid a sticky residue. After applying, I had to be patient and buff it off, but it turned out looking like new! I'm excited to do more on my car."

"I've never had a 'back to black' product work as well as this one. It truly makes the black look new and lasts for months rather than weeks. Just remember to wear gloves, or you'll end up staining your hands!"

"I've used this product on my older car and it made such a difference. It goes on easily, dries quickly, and doesn’t streak. She's looking pretty again!"

"I applied this plastic restorer to my UTV's sun-faded hood and it did a great job bringing depth back to the color! The black-plastic headlight surrounds now shine like brand new!"

"I found this product to be easy to apply and it really darkened the black plastic on my Jeep. However, I noticed it attracts dirt quickly in my rural area, which might be a concern."

"I was initially skeptical about products claiming to restore faded plastic, but this ceramic coating truly seems permanent. I thoroughly prepared my Ford Bronco before applying it, and a few months later, it still looks fantastic even after numerous washes and off-roading adventures."

"After using this on my 2015 Nissan Rogue, I couldn't be happier. I took the time to prep properly, and the results were fantastic! The faded trim turned back to black with just a single application. It was definitely worth the effort!"

"This product worked wonders on my 2009 Avalanche. It took the entire box to complete the job, but now the cladding looks original again. The results are long-lasting, and I consider it a great purchase!"

"I am highly impressed with how quickly, easy, and awesome this product worked. My car trim had turned gray, and I was disappointed, but this not only turned it back to black, but has kept it that way, even after washing!"

"So I'm not a professional car detailer, just someone who likes to keep my cars clean without too much hassle. The product claims that 'a little bit goes a long way,' so I was careful not to over apply. However, it did NOT go a long way. I ended up using half the bottle on my SUV! The first day, I couldn't even see where I had applied it, but the next day it looked great. Now, after 2-3 weeks, it's beginning to look a bit splotchy in places."

"I have a 2003 Chevy Avalanche that has over 180,000 miles on it. Despite taking great care of it, the plastic cladding had turned a light gray from the sun. After trying several products, I was told about this one. Immediately, the cladding started looking better, and after a few days, it looked even better! It was easy to apply with the included sponge, and I only needed one small bottle for all the cladding. So far, I'm really pleased and even ordered two more containers!"

"I use this at work to restore the shiny color to black ABS plastic parts. It’s incredible and only takes a second to use."

"While it does an OK job and you can see the difference, it leaves a nasty black residue that needs to be wiped off thoroughly. There are better products for this, but it's fine for a quick fix."

"The product seems to be good stuff. The sprayer and sponge made it easy to apply. I used it on my car’s interior, and it’s definitely looking better. Not sure how long it will last, but it's been 4 days and still looks good!"

"I was pleasantly surprised that my light grey plastic bumper returned to its original new black condition. It works extremely well, and a little goes a long way. I definitely recommend it!"

"I've used this product on my 2016 Outback, and it brought back the blackness to all my faded trim. Even after weeks and several car washes, everything still looks perfect!"

"After trying several brands, I found this one to be different. It didn’t just look like a typical white liquid; it was like black hair dye. The first application left my trim looking refreshed. I was amazed at how dark and rich it looked, and I’m excited to see how long it lasts!"

"This black trim restorer spray has truly rejuvenated my car! After being exposed to the sun for years, the trim became faded and lifeless, but this product restored its rich, dark color—just like when I first bought it. The application was easy—just spray and wipe—leaving no greasy residue, which I really appreciate."

"I absolutely recommend this product for its durability and versatility. It's water-resistant and eco-friendly, providing a dry, streak-free finish while repelling water and offering UV protection. The application is a breeze, drying quickly without leaving streaks. Plus, it effectively hides scratches and works wonderfully as a tire shine, achieving great results in seconds."

"The bottle comes equipped with a spray nozzle and a yellow sponge. A little product goes a long way. It’s an easy and quick solution for fixing any faded paint job on my car. After a week of use, I'm thrilled with how it looks!"

“I was skeptical about this product, but after applying it, my car's trim looked brand new. It has held up well through multiple washes and rain. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to rejuvenate their car's appearance.”

“I used this on my side mirror and door handles. While it did a great job on the interior plastic, the exterior black plastic faded back to its oxidized look within a couple of days. Also, the applicator fell apart quickly during use.”

“This product didn't meet my expectations. The price is quite high for the small amount you get, and although it looked good at first, it returned to its original color after drying. Additionally, the sponge applicator wasn’t durable and fell apart almost immediately. I cannot recommend this product.”
