Five trim revivals.

Each card shows the same photo pair — before on the left, after on the right, with a short caption under each image and a result blurb below. Mobile stacks the same content into a single column for swiping.

Photos are placeholder until the Owner drops the real pairs in at the same file paths. Layout, captions, badges, and result blurbs are all live now.

Trim

2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo · trim

Before restoration — 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo · trim Before
Faded gray plastic on the lower cladding — typical sun-baked trim look.
After restoration — 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo · trim After
Deep-cleaned, resurfaced, sealed to satin black with a one-year warranty.

Whole lower-trim pass: deep-clean first, then the resurfacing agent bonded to the plastic on contact. Cladding went from milky gray to a satin black that holds finger-light scuffs without showing.

Satin-black trim finish, sealed under the same UV clear coat used on the headlights.

2009 Toyota Tacoma SR5 · trim

Before restoration — 2009 Toyota Tacoma SR5 · trim Before
Wheel-well trim and door sills grayed-out from a decade of gravel roads.
After restoration — 2009 Toyota Tacoma SR5 · trim After
Satin black across wheel arches, sills, and lower door trim.

Bed work — resurfacing took the whole perimeter (wheel arches, sills, lower door trim) from chalky gray to a uniform satin black. Owner runs gravel in northwest Arkansas; the trim now matches the rest of the truck.

2015 Ford Escape SE · trim

Before restoration — 2015 Ford Escape SE · trim Before
B-pillar and mirror caps chalked out under the summer sun.
After restoration — 2015 Ford Escape SE · trim After
Spot-resurfaced where it counts, satin black restored without overcoating paint.

Surgical pass — only the B-pillar and mirror caps needed it; we masked the surrounding paint and stayed inside the plastic lines. Trims came back to a true satin black without the cheap tire-dressing shine.

2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn · trim

Before restoration — 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn · trim Before
Bed-side trim and tailgate handle gray from the work-truck rotation.
After restoration — 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn · trim After
Uniform satin black across all bed-side plastic + the tailgate handle.

Fleet-adjacent work truck; we hit the bed-side trim, the tailgate handle, and the rear bumper plastic in one pass. Owner was pairing this with a fresh wax and the contrast now reads brand new.

2006 BMW X3 · trim

Before restoration — 2006 BMW X3 · trim Before
Lower rocker trim and rear wheel-arch plastic chalked to a flat gray.
After restoration — 2006 BMW X3 · trim After
Restored satin black + a clear-coat seal good for the full warranty year.

Classic X3 trim chalking — lower rockers and rear arches gray, paint itself still sharp. We deep-cleaned the plastic first so the resurfacing agent could bond, then sealed the result with the same UV clear coat used on the headlights.

Why the results hold

The polish gets the lens back. The clear coat keeps it there.

Six steps at the curb — graduated sand progression, compounding, fine polish, clear coat, photos, warranty — and the same UV-stable seal goes on trim to lock the satin black back in place. Every pair on this page comes with the full year warranty and the receipt + photo record emailed the same day.

  • Graduated sand stack · no shortcuts
  • UV-stable 1-year clear coat
  • Same-day before / after photos
  • Joplin metro · Four States route
