So today I went out and got a box of Turtle Wax Trim Restorer to try and restore my side mirrors.
The part that sits on the car was badly faded already, but the mirror itself wasn't that bad.
Here's the product
Now it comes with a bottle of restore and a foam applicator which can be cut. They recommend to shake well and apply in direct sunlight to maximize the shine and protection.
Coming out of the bottle it almost seems like mineral oil. But regardless I went ahead and applied it. The second it touched the plastic it looked way better!
It seems pretty greasy and oily but it does make it look nice and rich and clean and shiny. I wiped off any excess and let it sit.
They say it should last for about 3 months.
I've tried Mothers back to black and as soon as I applied it everything went right back to normal. That was a complete waste of time.
So far I like how the turtle wax came out and I'll update in about a month or so.
Sorry I didn't snap any pictures, My phone was dead and I couldn't find my actual camera.
