Faded grey plastic on bumpers, mirror caps and window surrounds makes a car look older than it is.
Faded grey plastic on bumpers, mirror caps and window surrounds makes a car look older than it is. The cause is UV exposure and wash chemicals that pull the oils from the plastic. For owners in Markham, we restore the black at your driveway or garage, with a cleaning step first, because dressing over dirt never lasts.
We scrub the plastic with a trim cleaner and a stiff brush to remove old dressing, wax residue and road film, then let it dry completely. A masked edge protects the paint around it. We then apply a trim restorer, which deepens the colour and bonds to the plastic, and wipe off the excess for an even, satin finish.
Two types of products exist: dye-based restorers that darken quickly but fade over months, and coating-based ones that last longer and handle rain and car washes. We explain the difference and match it to your car and budget. Owners around Victoria Square often ask for the longer-lasting option before winter, when salt and slush attack unprotected trim.
Trim restoration will not fix cracked, warped or sun-chalked plastic that has lost its texture, and we will say so up front. It works best on trim that is faded but intact. A restoration visit is usually under two hours, and it pairs well with an exterior detail or a sealant application. Ask us if you are unsure which category your trim falls into.

Markham is mostly detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages in Unionville, Cornell and Berczy, with townhouse complexes and condo towers along Highway 7 and around Markham Centre, so we work in driveways, visitor lots and underground garages.
Salt and slush from the 404, 407 and Highway 7 build up on lower panels through winter, and new subdivisions and construction send dust onto paint. Spring pollen from the mature trees in older areas like Unionville settles on windshields and finishes.
Markham is spread out, and getting to a shop across the 404 or 407 can take a chunk of the day. Mobile detailing works in your driveway, condo garage or office lot and fits busy schedules.
We regularly work in Angus Glen, Raymerville and Victoria Square, and every other part of Markham.
