Does it actually make the trim black?

I think I've tried them all. Never had much luck with longevity. I see that Adam's has a trim coating kit that ya might want to look at.

I had a almost grey color trim, and I'd say it restored it to about a 95% back to black OEM trim.

... however when you emailed me, you had mentioned you simply needed to remove some dried product from your trim. A trim restorer is not needed for this. You simply need to clean the trim properly.

Degreaser, all purpose cleaner, or a solvent like isopropyl alcohol can all be effective cleaners for removing dried product from trim. Simply apply the cleaner to the trim and allow it to work, then agitate with a brush and/or towel, and wipe off. Other useful tricks are using a pink eraser on the trim (works surprisingly well in many cases), or even a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser can work very well on bare plastic trim (do not rub on paint or glossy surfaces!!!!)
