When you’re detailing your car, the first step is to clean it as thoroughly as possible. This includes the plastic trim on your car’s body. Plastic is a soft material, so products containing polishing agents can ruin it. The best way to clean it is to work from cleanest to dirtiest, and always make sure to clean the exterior of your car first.
SEEKONE Heat Gun
A heat gun is a reliable tool for various applications. It can be used for paint stripping and body repairs, shrinking plastic tubes and wrappings, rust removal, and other DIY projects.

PERL
You can use PERL to trim plastic on your car in a few different ways. First, dilute the concentrate with water. This will allow you to apply it on different surfaces. You can use up to a five-to-one dilution ratio. After dilution, you can spray the plastic in the desired areas. You should apply the solution from a distance of about 20 cm. If you want to get a cleaner finish, you can also use a sponge applicator.
Another way to restore the look of plastic on a car is to apply a water-based product such as CarPro Perl. This product will not only restore the appearance of plastics, but will also prevent them from cracking and fading. It will also protect from future dirt. It can even be used on vinyl and rubber surfaces.
