Namumuti yung mga rubber and plastic trim, paano ma restore?

You can try Microtex sun shield, although it will only last me a week or so and I have to apply again.

Recently, the plastic part below the windshield were becoming white. I experimented with Microtex Stainz Guard and I have good results at the moment.

I use Meguiar's Gold Class Trim Detailer to keep a 19yo CRV rubber and plastic trims in good condition

Does it last?

You have a nice looking CR-V! I think I made a mistake when I had the car repainted. Those black plastic trims were good for a couple of months only after the repaint.

I have to admit I was tempted to have the CRV repainted including the trims but my dad hesitated. He prefers to keep the CRV's paint and bumpers untouched. The clear coat is already gone and there are some few paint cracks already but he still prefers to keep it as it is.

Keeping those original trims in good condition can be tedious. On a rainy month, I have to reapply the trim detailer every 2 weeks. During summer season it can last up to 2 months.

I inquired for a repaint in Alex Restoration and the price is gold!!! 300,000 Pesos for a basic package. If I may stray further from the topic, why is it that your bumper doesn't have its body color? I observed this with a body color like yours.

This CRV with the bare plastic bumper is one of those 1st batch that arrived here in PH. It was bought Dec 1998 if I remember correctly.

i think it will turn okay yang na-compound mo once you do finishing with M205.

I'm hopeful also. Haha. M205 with polishing/finishing pad, speed around 4500rpm, little pressure as possible. Para lang mag-'pop' ung paint. After that one coat of carnauba. Then curing time muna bago i-apply ung gustong kong i-try na product, megs fast finish. Hehe
