This is great! Most of the other UA-cam detailers work on new cars or completely avoid bringing up the rubber trim on their videos. Keep it up!!
That turned out great. The 3800 polish you used is that the super finish plus? Didn't see a link for it. I am going to try this on my 1993 Toyota Supra quarter window trim it looks just like your car did. New glass is $600 so if this works it saves me from buying new windows. Thanks
Hi. Honestly I don’t remember. It was an older bottle of Menzerna 3800 I had from years ago.
I used the Maguires headlight restoration kit... Comes with 1800 up to 3000 sanding pads and then a light compound 🙌 worked a treat... Need to protect it now 🙌 thanks for the info 👌
Thank you Phil those rubber trims were the only thing bugging me about my car now i can restore them thank you 🙏🏼
Magic Eraser or Turtle Wax Miracle Cleaning Sponges may be an option for trim that is not so old and hammered. Impressive results.
Haven't tried or even heard of the TW sponge? Is it just a TW branded melamine sponge? I buy a generic version in bulk for like a quarter a piece.
Great to see the results, just remember to use a compound that doesn't stain trim.
Mould causes the rubber to become pitted so removing the top layer is the only real option.
Good work, keep it up and thanks for sharing
Great! Thanks for the tip, im professional detailer, and that method is really awesome.
Hey Phil, I think your use of the 'scuffy pad' first, then using the '0000' steel wool to refine the rubber works terrific. Great tip on an otherwise underused talent!
Thanks!
I use Mothers Mag and wheel polish and a soft terry cloth towel. Works on my '91 4Runner and the 2005 Cadillac STS rubber trim. Will not hurt paint or glass. I then top coat it with Mothers Back to Black. It has no colorant and lasts longer than other brands I've tried. If the rubber is etched it just takes more rubbing, but it leaves no scratches and a glossy finish that sheds water better.
My neighbor is an old time hotrodder. He used lacquer thinner as it's old based and it works wonders.
Impressive results!!! I wouldn't have thought of this combo.Thanks for this awesome tip.
Meguairs #39 heavy duty cleaner with a magic eraser. Less work in my opinion than using compound that leaves behind white residue.
Wow, that turned out fantastic, Phil! Truly impressive what you know how to do. Thanks for passing it on to the rest of us!
Thanks! 😎👍🏼
TACsystem Moonlight is stellar on trim! 🌝 🌟
I’ll have to try some 😎👍🏼
Loved the content...thankyou for sharing your method...I Have an old but beautiful Honda prelude..I use a similar method as your self but use engine oil as a lubricant and cleaning agent..It makes the rubber quite supple too!
Thanks! That’s cool!
Love your videos and I’m learning a lot with you, thank you for your hard work! I use black shoes wax on trims, rubber, plastic and leathers and works like dream! Apply the shoes wax let it seat than remove the excess than with dry towel polish it.
Dang thanks for sharing that!
Phil on nasty old neglected trim that a customer isn’t paying for a restoration how do you detail that? I use Spray Nine and a detail brush. They bleed from just like browning tires. Just curious how you guys clean them. By the way Megs D300 is still my go to 1 step compound. I love it!
Hi. For trim like that the customer doesnt want to pay for a restoration i just clean it and dress it and thats it. Usually just a brush and APC.
Tea tree oil works and will kill everything without messing up the trim. I applied twice and those spots are about 85% gone will do another treatment and then use a trim restorer.
Cool tip. Thanks.
How has the black label ceramic holding up? Have you tried different ceramic coatings? I was thinking of using something from Cerakote for the rubber coating.
Hi. I since sold that vehicle a few years ago. But at the time of selling it the trim looked perfect still! We use a few different trim coatings but our favorite is Gtechniq’s c4 trim coating.
The results speak for themselves. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Phil!!
Phil, Great Tip. Thanks for Posting.
Hey Phil, great video! If a non-ceramic trim restorer such as Solution Finish is used, do you apply any kind of sealer over it? Any other brands you recommend?
Hi. Thanks! Yes you can apply something like Lithium Trim Serum or AM Trim.
But the best option would be to use a ceramic trim coating after the Solution Finish.
The only video that taught me how to blacken my rubber seal that was discolored white. Thanks! I used my polishing compound to remove the upper layer and it revealed the black underneath. I tried for years without success and I was about to my new set of molding trim.
That’s awesome! Glad this helped you!
The lines are only visible if you get close and look at it. From any distance the results look great
Exactly. And I’ve even seen those lines on brand new rubber trim also when up close. Thanks! 😎👍🏼
Great Video!! Phillip, I Was Wondering if Spray Nine Heavy Duty Cleaner Might Work As Well?.. I Also Came Across A Video By Chelsea's Attention To Details, She Used it To Remove Mold On Rubber Trim.
Thanks, maybe it would have, but I doubt it on this one, it needed abrasion to remove.
Nice work. I did this few years back but I used soapy water with autobody red scotch pad, then followed it up with 1500 and then 2500 sand paper. Looked smooth and shiny. I'm not sure how long it looked good though as I didnt put any protection on it and I sold the car shortly after
What can i spray down in the window tracks to get rid of mold smell i cant get to?
Hi. Well mold odor is a completely different thing all together. That want be caused by outside mold on the vehicle. You can try these products
biobombs.com
Worked great for me with very little effort (mine were not too bad). I used the finer grade red scotch brite cloth/pad (320 grade) with some Meguiars stage 1 paint cleaner polish (quick detailer spray worked as well) and had no visible scratches at all. Finished with some Autoglym (UK brand) plastic/rubber gel cleaner/protectant. Buffed off any smears on glass and paintwork with clean microfiber cloth.
Cool! Thanks for sharing. 😎👍🏼
No negative comments here , if it works it works. Yay. Awesome results Better than new.
Lukat fix paint cleaner will get that molding right real fast try that tfs buddy
Hi Phil! Interesting video and love your humor. Looking forward to seeing many more videos.
That's great, so many tips! Many thanks.
How do you clean the rubber "blades" that contact the window glass? Mine are green and gungy...
Hi. Thanks for if they are that bad I would suggest replacing them. But if you want to clean them I just use glass cleaner and junk towel and pinch the blade with the towel soak in cleaner and run it up and down the blade.
@@MirandaDetailing Cheers - it worked!
Awesome! 😎👍🏼
HUGE difference Phil and great video! The rubber trim can be such a pain to get that good looking. Great tips and very informative video I enjoyed every minute of it. 🐝
Thanks man!!
Thanks Phil ! Great Video 👍🏼
The pink stuff is a good abbresive compound.
I used the steel wool pad with the same compound on my 2010 Challenger that was all pitted and rough and it came out so good!! I followed all of your steps and it’s night and day how the rubber looks now. 👍👍👍
Awesome! 😎👍🏼
Has it held up? I got a challenger that needs this done too.
@@bobafittness1346 yes, it’s held up and it was easy to do
Great video brother!! Thanks!! 👍🏼
Another great option my friend. I never would of thought of the green scotch brite pad. I normally use a magic eraser with an apc or adams tire and rubber cleaner. That does the trick every time. But to add another option is always great. I wonder if the white scotch brite pad would work just as well? Came out great
Thanks!
Start with the finer 320 grade red pad if they are not too bad. They are finer and leave no scratches.....just did mine, they came up like new...green is 100 grade, I'd only use them if the red failed to remove.
Wow this looks amazing... was thinking of replacing mine but I'm gonna try this out... thx buddy..... 💯💯
Great video Phil always full of helpful tips and tricks.
I'm trying Meguiars compound and Eraser Magic and top it with 303 ceramic Graphene
Wow! That created some amazing results! In your experience what kind of longevity do you expect to get with that trim coating? Thanks! Jon
Thanks. I’m not sure yet on the durability but so far it’s been a few months and still looking great!!
Cool video! Thanks! I think this would work great with a final application of Cerakote, make it nice and black and water-repellant.
Great Phil Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 I have a car 🚗 ford trying to restore its been lying 😮😢up 4 a year and bit the same thing I've noticed on the rim around windows 🪟 No matter what I do with hot or a detergent it's still there... c we purchase this in Ireland?? Great patience Sir, u should of been a teacher really professional talk on how to get the best results 👏
Thanks for sharing!
My 2011 Challenger rubber trim has looked like this for many years. Polishing it does fix it. My 2002 Ram 1500 rubber trim still looks great and I never have to do anything to it. 22 year old rubber. Clearly the manufacturers are using inferior rubber and manufacturing techniques these days.
Thanks for sharing.
Not related to rubber, but since you used the "0000" steel wool, it works WONDERS on chrome!
On my 2022 BMW motorcycle, I use a light touch with a dry "0000" steel wool on my chrome surfaces, and it removes bugs, spots, etc., like magic. For rusty chrome, WD-40 and "0000" steel wool helps to remove the rust and polish the chrome. I did this with my 1976 Honda CB500t to great effect.
Hi. Oh yeah! We use it for chrome also. It’s awesome! Thanks for sharing.
So much better Phil my ram had the same issue and I used Mother's heavy duty trim cleaner, some simple green, steamer with brush attachment, elbow grease. Needless to say gotta try this.
I did some rubber trim a ways back and used a cordless 1 inch rotary with medium pad and some 3D worked a treat. Power tools FTW.
Put some meguiars ultimate plastic restorer on there
Thank you for the video. Unfortunately I’m probably gonna have to replace the rubber because it has rotted and tore.
I wish u were closer to nc i'd definitely take my car to u 😓 my local detailers don't know what they're doing
so glad I found this video, the trim before looked just like mine. I tried this method and mine looks like new now. thank you so much😊
Awesome! You’re welcome!
I own the same vehicle with the same issue and I’ve been searching for a way to solve this problem. Great to find this video finally. God is good
Thanks bro! Just bought a car that’s absolutely beautiful (2022 Mazda MX-5 ND RF) except the weather stripping is all pitted and stained looking. Going to do this ASAP.
You’re welcome. Hope it helped!
This was helpful.
Initially I tried a magic eraser but the green scuff pad was much much better
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Wow this is very nice 👌
Phil another home run video for me. You have a very creative mind that comes up with "genius" ideas. I have been good at washing, polishing, waxing, and coating accompanied with general interior cleaning, but I just don't have any experience in really cleaning cars in so many areas that you have addressed in your videos, especially with the issue you are addressing today. So, for my "Estimating or guestimating" knowledge book at this point for me, how long would you expect a job like this to take for a sedan and an average size SUV? Also how long did it actually take you on this vehicle? My original thought is to double the time you estimate for me initially, and only charge for the time it would've taken you because I am not going to make my clients pay for my education. This is a "learn through teaching, mistakes, and ah-ha moments" for me. Actually, there are a lot of videos that I need to start asking you this same question so I can build up my "Estimator" data spreadsheet. Thank you again for all you do for us.
Hi brother, Great video and Great advice 👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻. Would P&S Beadmaker work well on rubber trim to protect it after cleaning it bro?
Hi. Thanks. Yes you can use Bead Maker for trim but I would use a stronger protectant for rubber trim. Something dedicated for trim
I miss that shirt! Such a great name and logo🥺! Car Guy supplies, now car supplies warehouse. I liked it better before. What did you like more?
Yeah I liked the old name too. It stinks that they had to change it.
Great video. I was able to remove the mold and oxidation from my Toyota tundra rear window trim, but within a month and a half the marks seem to come back. What would be a good sealant or something to prevent the mold from coming back. The only thing I’ve tried so far is coating the trim with Beadmaker but it doesn’t seem to be helping.
Hi. Does your vehicle stay outdoors? Do you wash it regularly? I never had the mold return on me after I restored it.
Bravo. I have a 1995 Range Rover classic and the door window trim looks just like your Toyota. Problem is my trim is no longer available OEM or Aftermarket. Never thought of using polishing compound to take the outer layer off.
Awesome! Hope it works for you! 😎👍🏼
Word of warning - These rubber trims can be surprisingly very thin on the corners. I followed a guide to abrade trim mould on my Honda Prelude many years ago, using fine emery paper, yet managed to hit bare metal on the trim corners very quickly, before I had even removed most of the mould: had to buy new trim pieces in the end. I was fairly careful and only removed a fraction of a mm before I hit metal, so consider starting with a magic eraser sponge or 3000 grit emery paper and strong degreaser or suitable polish.
Excellent tip! Thanks for sharing!
Detailers are plastic surgeon's for vehicle's. Great job! 👍
I thought some cars had clearcoat on the trim, but why didn’t you just put the window down, I wouldn’t risk it
Hi. What do mean by clear coat on the trim? Compound, 0000 steel wool or a scuff pad would not hurt glass at all, so no need to put the window down.
Great info! Thank you so much for posting this video! I have this issue with my 2013 Challenger. I was worried I was going to have to replace all the trim. Again, thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Thats excellent restoration 🎉
Thanks
hey phil ! what about apc and steam ? do you think it will work on it ?
Hi. I’ve tried just APC and steam and it doesn’t work for heavy mildew build up. It needs abrasive action to remove the top layer of mildew.
@@MirandaDetailing okay ! thanks for the answer
Excellent Video! Trim restore like no other!
This guy is the buzz light year of cars love your confidence bro and your videos for sure 👍👍
I used mequires Decontamination spray for my paint but it left a stained, bleached spotty look on my rubber. I'll use your tips to restore it.
Oh no! That’s weird! Hopefully it comes out.
Brilliant. Been looking for this video. Loads on paint correction etc. but none addressing this. Thanks
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the video and info Phil!! Something to add to a up sell package! Keep the videos coming!
Cool video, Phil! Thanks for posting! My rubber trim is protected with Cerakote, but should it ever get moldy, I NOW KNOW what to do!!
@@chelsabailey1018 Does the Cerakote Trim Coat work on the rubber trim? I was told it wouldn’t coat correctly.
@@jimmynickels6248 Hi Jimmy! The Cerakote is working fine on the black rubber trim on my rear bumper. I haven't had any issues with it and applied it to my car's bumper over a month ago.
You did a great job buddy tfs
what an improvement 👍
Great video Phil, I need to try this on my customers vehicles
Sorry, kind of skipped to the process. Did you consider magic eraser? If it is effective against the oxidation and mold, could forego masking tape step. Wont abrade paint or metal trim on older vehicles. Just hit the paint around the trim with a detailer or spray wax afterwards if worried about the protection, sooner or later.
Oh yeah I’m sure that could work also. But the eraser tends to deteriorate and fall apart when put pressure is applied to it. I’ve tried it and it’s ok but the scuff pads and steel wool won’t fall apart like the eraser will.
@@MirandaDetailing Good points.
I once used apc, microfiber towel and medium elbow grease to restore it on a client's old jazz..
Awesome! Yeah I tried that on this and it’s too far gone. It needs some aggression! 😎👍🏼
Brilliant, just what I was lookin for :D
Great! Can you share links to the products you used so I can buy?
Hi Sure I have them in the description below the video.
Rubbing compound and a clothe. Works like magic
I wish that was the case here. Tried that, did nothing, hence why I went more aggressive.
I worked for a rubber company for 3 yrs every day at work we sanded rubber. We also made a lot of mouldings for windows of planes and seals and lots more for the automotive and aircraft industry. The lines are part of the moulding process. It’s the machine lines in the molds if they are not polished as well as the milling of the rubber before it goes in the molds. You are just scavenging the dried out surface. Not sure why people freak out!
Awesome! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thanks for explaining that!
@@MirandaDetailing and they type of rubber(S) in mouldings is very temperature and chemical resistant. It’s not soft gum type of rubber. That type of rubber would go all soft and gooey!
Do you think I will be Able to get spray paint residue on that rubber?
Hi. Are you asking if the trim can be painted? If so yes it could.
I wonder if after cleaning it you could use mineral spirits to help with those lines.
Yeah I tried that but honestly the lines are not noticeable at all. It’s not a big deal at all. It still looks awesome.
I use adams tire & rubber cleaner & a small piece of magic eraser then use c4 from gtecniq
Cool! Thanks for sharing. I love C4 also!
Finally, someone working on older trim. Question though. The black on the door pillars how would you coat those? They feel like plastic but have a different feel from all the other trim. I'm planning on coating my Rav4 when it starts warming up and I want to make sure anything plastic is taken care of before putting CSL on everything.
Hi! So is black on your door pillars glossy or black textured plastic?
It’s glossy just like the sequoia smooth and shiny but feels like plastic not metal. It’s not faded like all the rest of the plastic so maybe I’ll just coat it and call it good.
Ah ok. So it’s most likely the black gloss pillars. Even though they are plastic underneath they are usually still paint d and clear coat led like normal paint so you can treat them paint. Polish and use a paint ceramic coating. 😎👍🏼
Great video, but wouldn't it make sense to do this with the window down the avoid scuffing the glass?
You could, but the pads or even 0000 steel wool won’t scratch the glass. But you could either tape it or put it down if you want. Good question! 😎👍🏼
Thanks for the video and tips! I'm going to try mine with the window down, hoping that polishing and restoring the inner lip that touches the glass will help restore a more even glass wiping action when the window goes down and up for clearing fog etc.
I wonder if a 2500 sandpaper would work as well??
Probably would actually. That could be an option.
Does the Meguires ultimate compound work for this?
Hi. Yes that can work also.
Great work
Thanks for Tip! You think Trim Shine may work or you prefer the dye? Great video as always ☺️
You’re welcome. The trim shine would definitely make it look great for a few weeks. The ceramic coating we used should last up to 2 years hopefully. It doesn’t need to be a coating with a dye in it. It can be any trim coating. I just happened to have this one.
Awesome.. Ceremic coating it is! It looks great too!
Pretty impressive indeed... doing the whole car must take quite some time !
Thanks. You can blast though it pretty quickly once you get used to it. 😎👍🏼
replacement rubber trim is so cheap - why waste the time and expense on silly chemicals?
Really? Where can I find that for a 2006 Sequoia?
Nevermind. Found it. Around $70. Not cheap exactly, but I understand your point. However at the risk of replacing them and possibly breaking clips, I wouldn’t bother. As a Detailer we can restore faster and cheaper with basic products and tools. The point of the video is to teach how Detailers can do these services for customers.
I have tan side panel trim that has faded also.
will this work the same?
thanks, Love your videos
Hi If its uncoated rubber then it should, what's the make and model?
02 Chevy 2500hd PU 4 door,
I will try it then let you know how I do.
Thanks
Good job!
The polishing makes it look really nice!
Thanks
If there was lines left over . What if you took a 3000 grit sandpaper to further refine the lines! Thanks guys
Well like I mentioned I have seen lines like that in brand new rubber trim. It’s bot just becasue of the steel wool. Honestly it’s not noticeable to the eyes. The close up shots make it more noticeable. But despite that for old rubber trim this what I would do for a customers vehicle. It worked out great! 😎👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing the camera definitely shows more, the human eye isn’t going to catch that. It’s not a show car .
Totally!
would a cleaner wax work?
Possibly in trim that isn’t so bad.
@@MirandaDetailing how do you know if you completely remove the traffic film?
Do you mean on the paint or the trim?
Traffic film is visible. It’s a thin layer of grime on the paint that can be removed by a proper pre wash or apc rinse.

Phil thanks for the great tip awesome video how about doing this on running boards?
we tried using this coating on the running boards with no success. I have something else planned for the running boards.
@@MirandaDetailing Thanks Phil keep up the good work 👉👍🥊
Phil does the pinnacle streak down the door after a rain?
Hi. Nope. It’s a ceramic coating and not a dressing so once it cures it’s set. Pretty awesome stuff.
