Review on 🔧 CERAKOTE Ceramic Trim Coat Kit: Long-lasting Restoration for Plastic Trim - 200+ Washes - Superior Ceramic Coating, Not a Dressing by Matthew Rodenbaugh

If you just need to restore the textured black plastic/rubber finishes, this material is fantastic. It's not a bandage, it's a hard and durable ceramic coating for these surfaces. However, be careful when using it on smooth black plastic surfaces. I was describing my daughter's CX-5 that we just bought for her and decided to give this product a try. Works and looks great on textured black surfaces around wheel arches and bumpers. I applied it to the slick black plastic trim around the windows and it was a complete disaster. Striped, spotted. It looked awful! The bad news is that when this material dries, it becomes rock hard, i. After several web searches on Cerakote, the only way to remove their products is to physically sand them down or sand them down with abrasives! I ended up having to spend 6 hours sanding this stuff off a smooth window frame, going from 600 dry grit to 800 wet to 2000 wet grit sandpaper to finally get a smooth finish again. A painful way to spend part of the weekend. Neither the labels nor the packaging say anything about it, it just says it can be used on black unpainted surfaces. I did it and it didn't work that way.
