The 3D GLW Series SiO₂ Ceramic Trim Restore is the professional detailer’s answer to faded, oxidized, and neglected trim. Developed with cutting-edge ceramic (SiO₂) technology, this formula does more than simply darken the surface—it rejuvenates, protects, and preserves the original look and feel of your vehicle’s trim. Whether you’re working on bumpers, mirror caps, window moldings, cowlings, or wiper arms, this product is designed to restore depth and darkness to dull plastic while also forming a durable ceramic shield that repels water, resists UV degradation, and prevents further oxidation.
What sets this trim restorer apart is its unique non-greasy, dry-to-the-touch finish, making it ideal for clients who want a matte to satin look that doesn’t attract dust or streak when wet. The SiO₂ component bonds to the surface, locking in color restoration and providing long-term hydrophobic protection. It won’t wash off after the first rain or car wash like lesser trim dressings—and because it resists environmental contaminants, the restored finish maintains its integrity longer with fewer reapplications.
This is not a temporary silicone shine product. It’s a ceramic-based solution that penetrates deep into porous plastics to bring the rich black color back to life. Perfect for both professionals and enthusiasts, it’s incredibly easy to use, whether you’re completing a high-end detail or touching up faded trim for resale value.
Step-by-Step Application Process
- Clean Surface Thoroughly: Wash and dry the plastic trim to remove all dirt, oils, and old dressings. A plastic-safe degreaser or APC is ideal.
- Dry Completely: Ensure surface is dry to allow proper bonding of the SiO₂.
- Shake Product Well: Activate the ceramic chemistry by shaking the bottle thoroughly.
- Apply to Applicator: Dispense a small amount onto a foam or microfiber applicator pad.
- Spread Evenly: Wipe the product across the trim in overlapping motions, ensuring complete coverage.
- Allow to Penetrate: Let it dwell for 5–10 minutes.
- Buff Off Excess (If Needed): Use a clean microfiber towel to remove any excess or streaks.

- Non-greasy finish resists dust, smudges, and water streaking
- Deep color restoration instead of temporary shine
- Weather-resistant and UV-blocking for long-term results
How Long Will the Product Last After Application?
You can expect 3–6 months of durable protection per application under normal driving conditions. With proper prep and maintenance, longevity may extend even further. Regular wash maintenance with pH-neutral soap will maximize product life.
Finish and Residues
The finish is matte to low-satin, completely dry to the touch, and non-greasy. No sticky residue, no streaking in the rain, and no glossy film—just clean, rich black trim that looks factory-fresh.
