GEN 2 Trim getting dull

[Klemm]

I have a 2018, the black trim/plastic on the rear bumper, on top of the bed, door handles are getting dull/ grey. Any ideas. Tired of buying stuff that doesn’t work like mothers back to black. Please let me know. Also any ideas on how to shine up the bedliner.

I use adams graphene coating. It will darken it up and last a while Supposedly chemically bonds

I bought some kind of wipe restore thing from WalMart and it discolored everything it touched.
I ordered some Exoforma trim chemical. It has a dye in it so I have hope it will work.
I have very good luck with Exoforma products.

Just go get everything vinyl wrapped. For the bed, I’ve heard you can power wash with soap to make it look newer, but if it’s faded I mean… nothing you can really do if the wash doesn’t work

im using meguiars trim restorer on mine. Brings back to the original color, holding it for a few days, but waiting to see what rain does. Usually any product does well until its washed away, but ive had good luck using this on my Lightning so hoping the same for the raptor.

I have good luck using Trim Shine from Stoner. It does a great job of bringing the original color back. It also does a great job on the steps on my Raptor without making them slick.

Cerakote Ceramic Trim Kit - Amazon or Walmart. You will be amazed with the results, makes the trim look OEM new. Super easy to apply and should last a year/two. All my trim went from slightly chalky to nice fresh black. Dries to touch so no streaks after getting wet like the other solutions mentioned.

I use Adams VRT on my Raptor's black bed caps, bed liner, door handles, side steps and it works well and last for months!

+1 on the Adams graphene ceramic coating. Have been using it for the last 18 months or so on all the plastic as well as my Bakflip cover and works really well. Doesn't wash off like Back to Black does but bonds to the surface and prevents fading.

I have been using this for the bed caps, bumper trim and the hood scoop.
