C4 Gtechniq Permanent Trim Restorer

Ok a little review on some C4 on my Campaign external plastic trim. It's not cheap but they say it lasts up to two years so seems worth it.

The product comes with 4 cotton pads like make-up removal pads.



Products used in this mini review



A few shots how the trim looks before cleaning
















The trim is thoroughly cleaned using a detailing brush and Meguiars APC 4:1








A little Gtechniq C4 is applied on to a cotton pad. Very little is needed.






Some 50:50










Once applied, the area is given a quick wipe with a mircofibre cloth to remove any residue









(The rusty number plate holder is going to be blasted soon!!)








Right one has been treated




Some beading shots






Was very impressed how easy it was to use. Very little product was used and it leaves a nice natural satin finish. It drys instantly and does not run on to the paint work.

Will update this thread after a few months to show how it's fairing up to the elements!

Chrissy, brilliant, i bought some of this inspired from one on pinchers threads, but not had time to use it yet, these results are so much better to see they the more modern cars in the u tube video's, better get round to doing mine now :-)

Thanks, just used it this morning really impressed with it. Going to do the cabby now :mrgreen:

Wow, never seen this before. A trim restorer that lasts up to 2yrs?? Amazing! Interested to see how it lasts.

Good review so far.

Will post up in a few months to see how it's holding up!

Nice one. If it lasts well over a couple of months I will be definitely be investing!

Going to be keeping an eye on this to see how the stuff bears up over time. Any of the guys/gals using this also use a jet wash to clean your cars?

if you you tube search it there are loads of vids showing it applied and people taking a jet wash to it after etc and water beading off etc :-)

What does this product retail at? Looks amazing...

From memory hugh £20-£30 delivered, which when you get bottle you think wow, as its tiny!

But as above description says apparently a little goes a long way.

I have my bottle on side from months, just gota get round to using it.

Wana do me interior panels as well, buy key is to use cotton buds as well apparently to make sure you cover every inch of plastic other wise bits you miss will be dull vs other bits

Check out pincher sportline thread also

Cracking product for restoring trim but defo doesnt last anywhere near what they claim.

Unless they used it on a car that never came out in the rain ect

Bought some of this yesterday - going to try a bit of it on my grill. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Forgot about this thread until now. Chrissy - How did you get on with this product, has it lasted well?

It worked well on my interior panels and still looks good, but does not last as long on outside plastics I reckon, but then the more you clean a car the less the product will last.

I used some on a tired wheel arch extension,totally transformed it.I have found though that the remainder hardens in the bottle over time .

cool. So is the general vibe to buy? Or is this product not worth the high price tag?
