About Gtechniq - C4 Permanent Trim Restorer
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
82% praised the durability, though 18% experienced wear-off
The trim has a dull sheen, which is expected of a new product rather than a greasy dressed look.
I hope the product lasts for the advertised two years.
If you don't use the entire bottle, the product may dry up and affect its durability.
I noticed that the product wore off in less than a week.

81% found it easy to use, while 19% struggled
I found this product very easy to use and it made a significant difference in the appearance of my car.
On my LandCruiser, it was almost impossible to achieve applying 2 coats as the product recommends due to the bottle size.
81% praised the effectiveness, but 19% desired more
I am very pleased with the effectiveness of the product as it has lifted the look of my car and brought it back to its original state.
The trim still retains its original lustre and finish with no indication of returning to a washout whitish condition.

83% highlighted the scratch resistance, though 17% faced issues
I noticed that the product could not withstand a light rain and resulted in spots and streaks that could not be removed. This indicates that the product is not effective in providing scratch resistance to automotive plastics.

My trim is beading like crazy, which indicates that the product may not be providing sufficient scratch resistance.
83% liked the high-gloss finish, but 17% didn't
After wiping it on with a soft rag, I restored the trim back to its factory dark gray look and shine with the coating.
At 7 years old, the trim in the picture is at the edge of what I can restore.
The tailgate protector is white/grey and the door handles look speckled.
After a light rain, I noticed spots and streaks on the product that could not be buffed out.
