Why Use C4 Permanent Trim Restorer?

Whether you’re restoring your rear bumper, door handles, or any vinyl surface, C4 works across a wide range of plastic surfaces, including textured rubber and exterior car trim. It’s the go-to product for any professional detailer or car enthusiast who wants long-term performance without constant reapplication.

Application Information
Simple Steps To Help You Get The Best Results
- Make sure before you start you have enough product for all of your trim. For example, if you have a SUV (30ml) you would need more product than you would on a small sedan (15ml)
- Work in a well-ventilated area, at a temperature above 5ºC (41ºF) on a cool surface out of direct sunlight. Wear the gloves provided.
- Ensure the surface(s) you are going to coat are free from any contaminants. For best results clean trim with a neat solution of W5 Citrus All Purpose Cleaner, and if required use a medium stiff brush
- Use the AP1 Lint-free Applicator supplied to spread the coating onto the surface of your trim. Soak the pad with several drops of product
- Once you have spread the product over each piece of trim, gently wipe away residue immediately with an MF1 ZeroR Microfibre Buff Cloth. If your car has heavily textured trim take time to ensure all crevices are covered, and that all residue is also removed from them
- Allow the coating to cure for 12 hours before exposing to the elements
- Use within 3 months of opening
- Store in a cool, dry place
