Deep Restoration
Colour that goes back in, not just on
Most trim dressings sit on the surface and wash off within a few weeks. The Soft99 Rubber & Plastic Parts Restoration Agent penetrates into the material itself, conditioning from within to bring faded rubber and plastic back to a deep, uniform colour that actually lasts.
Why It Works
Restoration with real staying power
Built for rubber, plastic and EPDM that has seen too many harsh days.
-
Penetrating Formula
Conditions the material from within rather than leaving a surface film that peels or washes off.
-
UV Inhibitors
Slows re-fading after application, keeping restored trim looking uniform for longer.
-
Water-Resistant Cure
Once cured, the treatment holds up through washing without stripping the restored colour.
-
Natural Satin Finish
Restores original factory appearance with no greasy sheen or over-dressed look.
How It Compares
Restoration agent vs. standard trim dressing
Standard trim dressings do a decent job of making plastic look good on the day, but the differences become clear after a few washes and a few weeks in the sun.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Penetrates the surface material | Yes | No |
| Natural satin finish (no oily sheen) | Yes | No |
| UV inhibitors to slow re-fading | Yes | No |
| Water-resistant after curing | Yes | Yes |
| Safe on rubber, EPDM and hard plastic | Yes | Yes |
| Second coat option for severe weathering | Yes | No |
Finish & Durability
Satin, natural, built to hold up
The result is a factory-satin appearance, not an oily, over-dressed shine that draws attention for the wrong reasons. UV inhibitors and water resistance mean the restoration holds through regular washes and outdoor exposure, not just for the first week after application.
Reviews
What our customers say
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.
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.
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.
Questions
Frequently asked
How do I apply the Soft99 Rubber & Plastic Parts Restoration Agent?
Apply a small amount to the supplied applicator or a foam pad and work it evenly into the trim surface. Allow it to absorb fully into the material, then wipe away any excess with a clean cloth. Work panel by panel to keep the application controlled.
What surfaces is it compatible with?
It is suitable for rubber, hard plastic, EPDM and most unpainted exterior plastics, including door and window seals, unpainted bumpers, plastic cladding, trim strips and exterior mouldings. Avoid applying to painted surfaces, glass or interior materials.
How long does it take to cure after application?
Allow the product to absorb fully before wiping away excess. Once applied and the residue is removed, it becomes water-resistant as it cures. Avoid washing the vehicle immediately after application to give the product time to fully set into the surface.
How many applications will 15ml cover?
Coverage depends on the number of trim surfaces being treated and how porous the material is. A small amount goes a long way on dense rubber and hard plastic. Heavily weathered or very porous trim may absorb more product on the first pass.
Does it leave a glossy or shiny look?
No. The finish is a natural, satin look that restores the original factory appearance of the trim. It will not leave an oily sheen or an over-dressed look that looks unnatural in daylight.
Can I apply a second coat for deeper colour restoration?
Yes. A single application typically revives heavily faded trim. If the surface is very porous or severely weathered, a second coat deepens the colour restoration. Allow the first coat to absorb fully before applying the second.
Does it protect against UV re-fading?
The formula contains UV inhibitors that slow the rate of re-fading after application. It will not prevent UV exposure entirely, but it gives treated surfaces a meaningful level of protection against further colour loss.
Can I use this before applying a ceramic coating or sealant?
Yes, it is well suited as part of a full detail prep routine. Restoring the trim colour before a decon wash or full correction means the trim is in good condition before you apply any protection. Ensure the surface is fully cured and clean before layering any ceramic or sealant on top of treated trim.
