I followed your lead before LOL. All good. Have any pics of your trim? Does the product spread evenly or self level and absorb into the plastic to a degree? How long is drying time?
Here are some pictures. I is been a while since I did this, I recall the product spreads pretty evenly doesn’t Self level and absorbs into the plastic. I’m very **** retentive and I mask off the paint so I didn’t get any on there even though I already have Ceramic Coating on it.

here’s a couple more pictures, here I coated the mud flaps before I installed them, it’s been over a year and the ceramic coating is still beading off water and dirt washes off easily with just high pressure water.

I think that product is similar to the CarPro DLux and it was good for like a month and then it turned to shit for some reason. After a few washes.

Your garage is like walking into a show room floor LOL I envy you. That plastic looks great! Nice finish and color. But the protection is worth it big time. Probably have to give it a go.

Did you use another product on the plastic parts before switching over to this treatment? Like even a plastic polish or enhancer? Almost seems like a reaction took place with another product.

No truck was still new and I cleaned the parts with CarPro eraser to make sure there was no trim shine of any sorts. What sucks was that my truck was brand-new and I ruined my new trim with this stuff. If you look at reviews on Amazon it looks like it's happened to others as well.

That flat out sucks. Nightmare. I would call these people and complain. Not sure where it will get you though. Hopefully new trims doesn’t set you back too much.

Half the stuff on Amazon is garbage and half of it is counterfeit. That leaves about 25% of their stuff that's legit, and some of that probably fell off the back of a truck. I wouldn't apply anything I bought on Amazon to anything I cared about. Just sayin'

Did you test a spot first? How long did it take to appear? That’s really odd. Maybe it reacted with something the dealer used to detail it? I used Avalon King on my trim and it’s still black like the day I did it.

I followed the directions and I'm not sure why they turned out this way. Moisture maybe?
