Product Description

The Soft99 Rubber & Plastic Parts Restoration Agent brings faded exterior rubber and plastic back to a deep, uniform colour, covering everything from door seals and window surrounds to unpainted bumpers and exterior trim strips.

Ideal for:

- Faded or greyed-out unpainted plastic bumpers and cladding

- Dried and cracked rubber door and window seals

- Exterior plastic trim strips and mouldings

- Restoring colour before a decon or full detail

Features

- Penetrates and conditions the surface rather than just sitting on top

- Natural, satin finish - no oily or over-dressed look

- UV inhibitors slow re-fading after application

- Water-resistant once cured, holds up through washing

- Suitable for rubber, hard plastic, EPDM and most unpainted exterior plastics

Apply a small amount to the supplied applicator or a foam pad, work it into the surface and allow it to absorb fully before wiping away any excess. A single application typically revives heavily faded trim; a second coat deepens the result on porous or severely weathered surfaces.

Questions

Frequently asked

What surfaces can I use this on?

It is designed for rubber seals, EPDM window surrounds, unpainted plastic bumpers, exterior plastic cladding, trim strips and mouldings. Avoid using it on painted surfaces, glass, or interior plastics not rated for solvent-based products.

How do I apply it correctly?

Work on a clean, dry surface. Apply a small, even amount to a foam applicator or microfibre pad and work it into the trim using overlapping strokes. Allow it to absorb for a few minutes, then wipe away any excess with a clean cloth before it dries on surrounding paint or glass.

Do I need to decontaminate the trim before applying?

Yes - for best results clean the trim thoroughly first. Remove any existing dressings, silicone residue or grease with an APC or IPA wipe-down. The product penetrates better and lasts longer on a properly prepped, porous surface than on a contaminated one.

How long does it take to cure?

Initial absorption takes 5 to 10 minutes depending on temperature and porosity. Wipe off excess after that window. Full water resistance develops within a couple of hours of dry time, so avoid washing the car immediately after application.

How long does the restoration last?

Durability depends on the condition of the trim and how much UV and weather exposure it gets. On well-prepped trim you can expect a few months of colour retention and protection. A maintenance coat every few months keeps the finish looking fresh.

Will it leave an oily or greasy residue on the trim?

No. Once fully absorbed and any excess is wiped away, the finish is a natural satin rather than a high-gloss or wet look. It should not sling onto paint or glass during driving if applied and buffed correctly.

Can I apply this over an existing ceramic or sealant coating?

This product is designed for bare or lightly dressed rubber and plastic. If your trim already has a ceramic or polymer coating on it, adhesion will be compromised. Strip the existing coating first with an appropriate coating remover or IPA before applying.

Is it safe to use near painted panels?

Apply carefully and avoid getting the product on paint. If it does transfer, wipe it off promptly with a damp microfibre. Masking adjacent painted edges with tape is good practice on tight areas like door frames where rubber seals sit close to the paintwork.

Rear bumper cladding on the Fortuner had gone that chalky grey. Two coats of this and it looks like new plastic. Natural finish, no greasy look.
Bongani D. Verified buyer
Rubber seals around the door frames were starting to look embarrassing. This absorbed quickly and left a clean satin colour. Took a second coat on the worst spots but the result is solid.
Marlene V. Verified buyer
Grabbed this alongside a few other Soft99 bits from Detailer SA - everything arrived well protected. The plastic restorer itself is the standout, especially on the unpainted front apron where nothing else seemed to last.
Nikhil S. Verified buyer
Faded trim on a black hatch is painful to look at. This fixed it in one session. Clean application, no streaks, and the colour held through three washes so far.
