TLC is coming out with great products. I have this on my car and holding up very well!
Ryan, yes they are! That's awesome your getting great results 👌 appreciate you watching my friend! Take it easy!
Initial impressions are OK but I prefer these updates. Gives a better idea on what’s worth investing in.
Thanks Frankie👍 appreciate you watching man!! Givin what this truck has seen and lack of maintenance I think the Cera Trim performed well👌
It's always nice to find a product that you can use on your details and tell a customer that they will be blown away with how good it is and they can tell by the confidence in your voice that they have found the right person to do the job. This product along with TLC 2 are a couple of those products that warrant that confidence in your results.
Thank you buddy!! Exactly! I'm confident now to tell people what they can expect out of this and when they need to bring it back👍👍 and be confident at the same time👌 appreciate your support man!
That would drive me insaaaaaane driving it around like that. 🤣🤣 Great video on a clearly solid performer.
I'll definitely be getting this!!!
Great video mr. Papasmurf 🌮🌮
Hahaha I know man! Absolutely filthy!! Lol he lucked out and it was perfect timing! Thanks brotha! Appreciate you my friend!🤝✊
That is very impressive! Ordered the a bottle of it. Thanks for the update brother. Stay cool.
Thanks Chris!!! Yes, I was definitely impressed! I'm stay as cool as possible! Take it easy buddy!
I bought this product last week it just arrived today can’t wait to apply this to my Ford F-150 and my Toyota Avalon thanks again for the video and hard work I just subscribed to your channel watching your videos now
William, that's awesome!! This stuff is great! Thank you for subscribing and keep me posted on how you like it! 👍👍 remember to prep it good, apply it and wait around 15-20 min ( depending on how hot it is time will very ) then buff off any excess product👌
Solution finish then that cera coat would probably do a amazing job. The solution finish will bring back the color permanently and that coating will protect it.
Jeremy, I hear great things of solution finish. One day I'll definitely try it! As it is a dye, this ceratrim isn't. Which I know due us ideal but this stuff here is awesome. Easy to apply as well. Appreciate you watching!!
Thanks for the review! How about applying another coat on part of the trim so we can see how much shine (black) has been "lost"? That would be a good test of how well it's holding up. I don't expect it to look like day one, but it would be interesting to see how well it's doing. :)
Thanks man!! Hey that is a great idea! I haven't seen the truck in a while but I'll keep that In mind... had I applied it I'd have guessed it lost about 35% or its color. Which isn't bad. Appreciate you watching!!
Very impressive especially being neglected! I will have to try some TLC products soon.
Right?? This thing was so neglected haha. I might be able to help with that!!!😁😁 thanks brother.
Awesome video. I applied cera trim to my truck around the same time you did this truck and it still is looking awesome it did lose some shine but I do wash my truck weekly. Keep up the good content man 😀
That's awesome your getting good results!! Yeah this stuff is pretty awesome for sure. If this was maintained it would go even longer. Appreciate you watching my friend!!!✊🤝
GREAT update video dude!!! This product performs fantastic!
Thanks Mike!!! Appreciate you brotha!!✊ yup, loving this stuff!
What's up Papa! Nice to see a follow up video on CeraTrim. I love this stuff. I wash my CR-V weekly and probably apply the CeraTrim about every 3rd wash. This stuff holds up really well. Love the hydrophobs on it. I feel that the more you use it, it builds up more protection and the trims look fabulous.
That's awesome Barbara! I could see this stuff lasting a very long time when maintained!!! Thank you so much for watching!😀👍
@@PapaSmurf918Detail As long as you keep putting videos out, and I maintain my ride, I will watch! 😁
Awesome!!! Sounds good to me!😎
I like the ceratrim n trim serum as nice quick hitters for my customers just getting a routine wash n sealant applications but for initial applications on more expensive packages that I offer I usually turn to Gtechniq C4 or tac systems seal. When dealing with really faded plastics than initially I'll use black pearl or Dupli color to get them as dark as possible again. Great video as always bro. I'll be posting videos soon.
Definitely man! I agree.. really faded stuff it's best to bring it back with a dye then coat it 👍. This cera trim and trim serum are perfect for protecting and maintaining semi faded to new plastic. What a world we live in huh. Lol technology at its finest! Appreciate you watching my friend!
Great update & video, Thank you brother! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks brother!!!✊✊ appreciate you my friend!!!
It’s lasting good. However, as a weekend worrior, I’m still sticking with Turtle wax ice seal & shine for a 1/4 of the price,
Jim, the Cera Trim is on the plastics 😄 this isn't a paint protection.. maybe you mistook for the TLC2 spray sealant. Lol no worries!
That's 😎 papa Smurf I can't wait to order mine love the video buddy hope I get it before it gets colder have a great evening papa Smurf
Hey Robert! Thanks buddy! Appreciate you watchin! You will love this stuff👍 take it easy my friend!
Awesome I will link to try this product!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you! Appreciate that.. glad they are helpful😃 was why I started a channel😋 love helping and I may not be a professional detailer but I'll help whenever I can!👍👍
I am thinking of trying this on the hard plastics on the interior of my Ridgeline .... along with exterior of course.
Todd, if your considering it don't forget my Discount code PAPASMURF for 20% off your order👍👍 you will love this stuff👌
Nice Super Clean Camo hat .
Thanks Jim!!! Appreciate you my friend 👍
Thanks for the video. Would you recommend this to protect new plastic trim? I live in Arizona and the truck stays outdoors . Or another product
Hey Steve! Yes, absolutely would recommend on new plastics.. it will protect and prevent them from sun damage 👍👍 thanks for tuning in my friend!!!
I'm testing it right now on the rubber seals.
Rich, after this wash I applied another coat and this time I put it on the window trim.. little more tedious but it worked well!! Let me know what you think!
Already there bro. We did the rubber trim around her windows.
👌👌👌👌
Hey . Looks good after 3 months
I just use adam's polishes VRT and re-apply as needed .
Are you familiar with Wolfgang car care products?
I'm interested in the paint sealant and paste wax combo
Generally speaking . You can almost always layer paste wax on top of paint sealant? ...
Thanks man! Yeah I have VRT but I've never tried it on plastics. I am familiar with wolfgang and hear awesome things.. I've never used any of there products but yeah you can layer a paste wax over a sealant as long as you give the sealant a proper cure time👌👌
Great stuff!! Good video!!
Thanks man appreciate that!!!✊🤝
Was considering this but I'm getting better results from ceramic coating over top of cured solution finish.
Hey, if that's what working for you by all means but, maybe a coating on top of this cera trim can be just as good👌👌 can't knock it till you try it! 😄appreciate you watching!
PapaSmurf, I bought it the last time when you recommended it. I am so glad. I agree it has faded, a bit. But to protect black is a tough job and for three months, well I'm impressed. I have decided to just reapply it at the 4-6 month point because it is so easy to apply and it just looks great and lasts............ Thanks again for the recommendation. I'm a happy camper.
Full disclosure, I was bitching and moaning about the price until about a month ago when someone mentioned how good it still looked on the 323 I had treated. As they say, you get what you pay for and I am now glad I paid for it. : -) By the way their "Water SPOT Remover" is awesome. I have eight different ones from the top brands out there, like Dr. B's and TLC runs circles around them. You gotta try it. WIN-WIN
Kyle that's freaking awesome to hear you live it!! Makes me feel that much better knowing I'm recommending it👌👌 and definitely. It's so easy to apply to not do freshener coat when needed... appreciate your support and taking the time to watch!!
Ps... I just recieved the water spot remover 10 min ago😁😁 looking forward to testing it out!!!
We appreciate you!
Kim, thank you!!! I appreciate you as well!!!
Hey Smurf! I used this last year. 2021 fall. As we speak, the trim is fading alittle. Have you used anything that you would say is better or easier? Lithium cubes look intriguing. I'm looking for longevity. Don't look now.....but that car on the rack is leaking antifreeze. Lol.
Hey Kim! Out if my experience with CeraTrim... it will start fading around 3 months. The Trim Cubes I have on my suburban are over 3 months and look like the day I applied. If your going to reapply CeraTrim every few months it's great! Trim cubes seem to surpass though indefinitely ✊
First 👌🏻
Winner winner!!! Mark with the quick thumbs today
Which product do you prefer between Cerakote trim or this one?
I haven't tried cerakote product yet so hard to say. I'm sure they are similar though!🤙
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Cera trim does restore faded black trim?
1st from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷
Oh boy!!! I got Mark's notice first man!!! 😂😂😂😂
from Puerto Rico maybe. 🤣🤣 Irvine CA #1
@@catguy64 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👍🇵🇷 and the crazy thing about it is I am today at the southern part of the island in the city of Juana Diaz visiting an aunt who is my grandfather's sister who is 93 and I was walking with her to the post office which is at the end of her street. 🤣🤣 like my grandfather when he was alive she still drives and has great reflexes and vision. They are better than me.
😂😂😂
Legitimate excuse to be a tad late! Lol😜😜
When you reapplied the cera trim to that F150 did you clean the plastic with the brush and super clean again or just washed it then applied?
What soap do you use for your washes? If you haven't tried the last soap from TLC you need too!
Kerry, this time here I reapplied after just a wash as there was still protection left and didn't want to hinder that.. if it was not still there I'd have used the brush to clean with superclean. 👌 and this wash here I used Turtlewax ice snow foam wash.. fantastic soap!! I DO have the last soap and will be planning to use as maintenance to my Black ice on my Honda once I apply👌👌 appreciate you watching!!!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail
How long after applying cera trim would you recommend before a wash the bottle doesn't say! Actually after watching numerous videos on this product nobody ever said. Just heard I let it cure 24-48 hours then they hit it with water. I cleaned all my plastic and windows rubber yesterday evening and I now will be applying cera trim. The truck needs washed too but can it be washed this evening after applying cera trim with little cure time would you recommend this or what?
I'd definitely give it at least 24hr to cure. Also, remember to let it dwell for at least 15 min depending on how hot it is, and then buff off any excess product 👌
@@PapaSmurf918Detail
Thanks man for the quick replies!
I subscribed to your channel today too see where you lead me lol.
I only follow one other detail guy so I will see what I can learn from you!
Thanks again!
No problem man!!! I appreciate the sub!!! ✊✊ I'm always willing to help so if you have any questions let me know. If I can help, I most certainly will!!👍
Also I heard is good for tires too , is it true?
I have seen people use it on tires as well. A bit glossy for my liking but does work!!👍👍
Where can you buy it? Can’t find it anywhere?
Have you tried TheLastCoat.com?
@@PapaSmurf918Detail I emailed them and they replied back saying logistical issues and they don’t know when they’ll have more.
@@cityguyable ahhhh yeah supply an demand is tough right now. Look into the lithium Trim Cubes. LithiumAutoCare.com... they are phenomenal! Also, if you use PS40 at checkout you get 40% off your order 🤙🤙
Me again! 😅 Looking to use VRP but if I can use CERATRIM for plastics AND tires then I get more bang for my buck. Would you suggest this for tires or stick to VRP?
Out of both I'd say VRP takes the cake for tires in my opinion.. CeraTrim works much better and lasts longer on trim. It's to shiney for me on tires though. It doesn't work on tires though but I'd grap VRP all day for tires over CeraTrim.... VRP is like 1 product I like from CG.
@@PapaSmurf918Detail Ya I agree it's probably their best product and the only product I'd buy from them other than Lighting Fast Carpet cleaner 😆 Thanks for your input Papasmurf!
@@drivedetailedmtl hear awesome things of lightning fast! No problem man anytime!!! You know where to find me!
Faster than a speeding bullet since I am far far away?? 🤣🤣🤣👍🇵🇷
I think that distance caused I a delay Hahaha... I got Mark's notice them yours shortly after.. the battle for 1st continues!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail CA strong 💪🏻
@@PapaSmurf918Detail All because we all support you Eric!! Much respect 👍👍🇵🇷👌
Appreciate all the love and support buddy!!!✊🤝🤝🤝

What year is this truck?? I ask because I did the same thing for my 2005 f 150. Griots 3 in 1 ceramic wax spray and also cera trim. I also tried car pro Perl diluted per the recommendations for exterior plastic and there is no comparison to cera trim. Perl is streaky and does not last at all
I wanted something bomb proof but also easy for my truck cuz I literally wash it maybe once a year....?
This is a 2014 I believe! And yeah i love Perl for tires 1:1 but doesn't last long on plastics and is nowhere near as hydrophobic if its even hydrophobic at all Haha. Cera Trim is sooo much better for plastics 👌👌 what you can do is restore your trim with Cera Trim.. and after a day you could top with a true coating to protect.. like Caroro Delux.. that's made for plastics. That will seal it up👌👌
PapaSmurf918 Cool cool thanks for the input I’m just trying cera trim by itself for right now. I am semi lazy when it comes to my own car ha ha. But love detailing other cars
Keep up the good work my friend
No problem man! Haha yeah I hear ya! Seems our own cars are the neglected ones!😄 to bust making everyone's car looking good lol. And thank you. Will do!
Yep.. im getting some😀👌🏼
😄😄😄 don't forget my discount code✊✊✊
@@PapaSmurf918Detail 👌🏼... I almost forgot 😬😳
I got you!!!!!😁😁😁
Ok repels water but how about the glossy look?
It's in my opinion not glossy at all. Initially it is. Once you come back and knock it down with a microfiber.. it's absolutely perfect👍👍
@@PapaSmurf918Detail probably I didn’t explain myself I like glossy look if I put two coats you think is gonna be more glossy?
Where did you buy those yellow brushes from? 👀
Which ones?? The ones behind me???
@@PapaSmurf918Detail yeah the ones hanging on the pegboard. I like the look of the yellow ones all I ever see is the red ones. The yellow ones look cool to me 🙂
@@ecko90044 Gotcha! These were from Amazon 👍 just typed detail brushes and found em!🤙
P.S. great video
Thanks Mike! ✊👍 appreciate cha man!
Is it better then the carworx
I've not yet used Carworx ... so I can't say to be honest..
Jesus Christ loves you and died for your sins to be forgiven, if you seek Him you will find Him. He will give you eternal life and peace and you can walk in light! Read the Bible in the book or John or Luke and see Jesus's life and His love for you!
Thank you
Can I use this to protect and restore the rubber trim on my truck?
I'm not sure it's quite intended for rubber but I've seen people use it for that. There are rubber specific products I'd probably opt for over this.. although this stuff is great for plastics 👍
@@PapaSmurf918Detail thanks again 🙂👍👍
@@fcolon1976 anytime man!🤜🤛✊
Will the cera trim help protect new trim from fade and soap scum
Yes, it will help protect it. Just make sure to buff off after 10 min really well. Leaving residue may cause streaking from water 👍
How do u apply this ? U just wash your car and apply it or do u have u use an all purpuse cleaner before u apply cera trim?
You can apply after a wash certainly. However I'd recommend an APC clean to make sure its clean clean... 👍 apply. Wait 10-20 min depending on temperature and what not, then buff off any excess with a clean dry microfiber towel.
How was the UV protection and was there any fading?
I'm not sure man.. idk if any way to actually test UV protection.. I did notice it wasn't as rich as when first applied however still muuuch better then when first applied. Took I'd say a 30% hit in fade. Not bad at all givin how unmaintained it was!
@@PapaSmurf918Detail yep that's about right on the fading at 3 months, we have found the hydrophobics to stick around a bit longer. Depending on sun exposure and such of course. Thanks for the video update, good to see a real-world test.
No problem at all!!✊ yes, I can see these hydrophobics going much longer! 👌 great product here. Take care and thanks again for sending this to me!
@@TheLastCoat thank you for letting PapaSmurf918 do a review on this. Good to see a.great product here and a great reviewer doing the review.....both keep producing great stuff
Thanks Mike!! ✊✊✊
Everytime I apply cera trim, do I have to strip and prep my trims all over again before re applying?
No, you don't need to strip it again. If your maintaining it often it should be OK to just coat over. If it's twords the end of its life then I'd prob just APC clean and start fresh
Great!! and thank you 🙂👍
@@fcolon1976 no problem
Best stuff out there💯!!! Great review👍
Chris!✊👍👌 you already know brotha!! Thanks dude, appreciate you watching!🤝
First
Haha man, you, Mark, and humberto both say 20min ago.. however I got Mark's notice first, then humberto, strong podium 3rd though man!😂🤣
not a great video. Wash the truck, have a before and after video under the same lighting conditions and then compare. This video wasn't worth the time to discuss
I did exactly that... this video was shot the same day... showed a before and after I washed it. 🤷♂️🤷♂️ can't control where the sun goes as time passes man. Really dont get the reason behind your comment. However thanks for watching!😁
Color black or grey?
The trim??? Trim was black
@@PapaSmurf918Detail think you, nice job.👍👍
