hey guys got a pretty interesting video for you today just like all you out
there I hate the look of faded plastic and I've been looking for a way to
restore the shine on plastics and keep that shine for a long time now most
plastic restore products only last a few weeks at best before they kind of wash
away and so the product reveiw trying out today is guaranteed to last up to
200 washes and that product is seracote trim coat it is a strenght based coating
you just like literally wipe on and we can take something that looks like this
an old faded gas tank into something that looks like this your duty the air
box that we restored previously scratches sing a bit more so we're gonna
put this part through the wringer and see if it holds up to the test long-term
let's jump into it now the first couple things we'll be trying this product on
is the gas tank for the CR 250 this is a stock one I've had laying around and
also this old number plate from an RM 250 it's pretty beat-up and Sun faded
I'm excited to see how it works on that now before we apply the coating we're
gonna have to clean this stuff up with Dawn dish soap now I'm gonna give them a
little wipe down and let them sit in the Sun to dry up completely you want these
things completely dry before you apply the coating after the parts I've dried
off in the Sun you want to bring them back inside in the shade and let them
cool off before wiping them down with the trim coat so it really doesn't get
any more simple than this just pull out the wipe and you definitely want to wear
gloves you don't want to get this stuff on your hands so as I'm wiping I'll go
in the same direction just so it ends up with a more consistent finish that's
really the only thing you got to worry about
after about 30 minutes the coating is dry and ready to go
now this gas tank turn out absolutely awesome got a nice consistent shine to
it all the way around super pumped on that now for the number plate this is
where I coated it you can see the difference between the coated and the
non coated part there so not a huge difference there but there's still lots
of oxidization underneath the coating and then on this side I ended up
standing the stains and sun fading off of the part here and applied the trim
coat on top of it so right there you can see that looks pretty close to a new
piece of plastic so if you have a piece of plastic that has all the staining and
fading you may want to sand it beforehand with like five or six hundred
grit sandpaper and then apply the trim coat on top of it
and you'll get a really good result like that now let's say you were to
accidentally spilled gas on the tank with the trim coat
how would that react let's find out
so I let that fuel sit on the gas tank for about a minute before wiping it off
and you can see there's absolutely no reaction with the trim coat suite just
what I was hoping for another thing I've been wanting to try the coating on is my
lawnmower it's a decent mower but the plastic is severely faded this thing's
been sitting out in the Sun for a while so let's clean this thing up and see
what we can do with it on something like this you're gonna want to take an air
compressor and blow all the water out of the cracks and crevices
Wow just fricking Wow cannot believe how well the trim coat
worked on the mower this thing looks pretty much brand-new again even on the
steering wheel we're severely faded in the middle cover
that up really nicely so what I'm gonna do as a little test is use the mower
over the next couple months got a lot of Mon to do this summer so right now
it is July 30th I'm gonna come back in two months from now September thirtieth
and show you guys how the trim coat held up it's a couple months later it's
actually October 29th so three months after we applied the trim coat and it
looks like the trim coat held up remarkably well so I did - steering
wheel down here where your feet touch no signs of any wear down here I use the
mower quite a bit this summer my yard is pretty big and I had this thing sitting
outside quite a bit - gave it a few washes and didn't notice any of the trim
coat wearing away or going back to the ugly faded look so definitely pretty
impressive stuff and one more thing when I went to go wash the mower all the dirt
dust and grass clippings just pretty much washed right off didn't stick to
any of the areas I applied the shrimp coat to so just a little added bonus one
thing that I've been curious about and I'm sure you guys are as well is if the
trim coat will hold up to the abuse that a dirt bike gets now I'm not quite
healed up enough to ride a full sized bike so I'm gonna have to find something
on the 1:10 to coat and I think the perfect candidate would be the sprocket
cover gets a lot of wear on the bike so I'm gonna have to pull that off coat it
put it back on and ride the bike and see if it holds up oh and don't mind the oil
the bike is dripping the girls were ripping this thing around the other day
and it crap and oil is a spewing out the overflow
and though city
take it easy a little bit
yeah
my cables broken
oh man I'm gettin tired
all right that's enough I'm really tired
see your pump there but that was about five laps I'm gonna check this sprocket
cover if there's anywhere on it I wore my boots just to kind of simulate how it
FCB but yeah let's take a look at it go
ahead and wipe the dust off the cover see how she looks so you can see there
is some wear on that coating I also had coated the other cover here just like
that's got some wear as well so maybe I wouldn't apply it directly to a cover
that's gonna get a lot of wear like constant use with you know say boots or
something abrasive you know with like dirt in there and everything but it's
definitely doable to do on say a gas tank or an air box or something that
doesn't get a ton of wear like these covers here so the trim coat was more
geared toward an automotive application like plastic trim and bumper restoration
and not really toward an intense application like we have here with dirt
bike but honestly anything you put on those covers a type of coating paint or
dressing is gonna wear off just as quick if not quicker now one more idea I've
had for the trim coat is inside the house here you guys are gonna laugh at
me for this but the trim coat could be used on the toilet I believe so out here
I have hard water you can see it stains the toilet pretty good what I'm gonna do
is clean up the toilet get all this staining off of here and apply some of
the trim coat the reason why I think this will work good is because the
ceramic coating is like an anti stick and so I'm hoping this adheres to the
toilet bowl and prevents anything from sticking to that and of course before
you apply any trim coat you got to have it completely dry and clean and a side
note I used a pumice stone to get rid of all those hard water stains thing just
ripped stuff right off I could probably use
this on dirtbike stuff too
we're back in the bathroom a couple days later don't see any of those hard water
stains coming back and I don't see any skid marks thankfully I'm gonna flush
the toilet and show you guys how that trim coat repels the water it's pretty
cool yeah sweet stuff I'm almost thinking what could I
Sarika or trim coat next I know some people do the shower
I'm almost considering doing like my dinner plates and my butt crack got to
keep that thing clean but probably not the best idea
so overall had good luck with the trimco product we use it on many different
types of uses add it on the dirt bike Vallois mower even on the toilet with
good luck you can use it on car and truck bumpers and trim that's really
what it's made for but the only limitation I would say is on a high wear
or high impact area like we had it on side cover the dirt bike didn't hold it
very good there but pretty much anywhere else where you have plastic or rubber
this stuff is definitely worth a shot it's held up to the elements so far long
term and also through washing and just general use one thing I will say though
you got to nail the preparation process make sure everything is perfectly clean
cool to the touch and completely dry before you apply the trim coat or also
won't adhere very well and won't look as good as it should so if you guys are
interested in trying out this product I will link it down below in the
description and let me know what you guys does feed back on it as well I love
to hear it that pretty much wraps up this video thanks for watching and I
will see you guys soon take care you
