In the spring, I used MEDS Renu Finish on a 2007 Si with ~75k on the clock. The roof gutter trim, windshield molding/frame and windshield cowling were all extremely chalky.
The trim has never been treated and wasn't protected with any waxes, sealants or coatings until it was already chalky a few years ago.
The directions actually are very easy to follow and lay out a very easy process for application, but I went a bit overboard just for fun. The car was washed and dried, and the trim was cleaned with a 20% isopropyl alcohol/water solution to assure there was no remaining wax or chemicals. This is not something in the directions but rather an old detailing habit to prepare surfaces for treatments.
Renu Finish is a little kit that includes:
Two high quality one size fits all nitrile gloves (I have huge hands and the glove fit well).
Two terry or microfiber covered foam pads for applying and buffing the product.
A little microfiber towel which according to the directons is for buffing when the stuff comes in contact with the paint.
Resealable tube of product. It smells like minty chemicals that is the best way to describe it. It's also pretty watery, but thicker than water. And, yes, it is deep black, but it is weird because when spread thin it is pretty clear and "smoke" colored. The stuff is weird but it works.
I taped off the trim to protect the surrounding materials, such as glass or paint. Again, not in the directions, but something I did just in case. The product seems to come off paint easily before it dries, but I didn't want any mistakes. Also, I ended up using one glove, one pad and the tube. That was it! And all of that I packed away in individual little sandwich bags when i was done. There were no messes.
I applied the product and buffed it in with the "wet" side, let it sit for a minute, and then buffed with the other side of the pad. I did this twice over all of the trim. At the end, right before I pulled it out of the garage, I buffed it lightly one more time and that seemed to remove a bit of the residual shine, making it look very natural. For the little holes in the windshield cowl, i used cotton swabs with the liquid applied.
Longevity was much better than expected over the course of the next several months. This vehicle has no cover 24/7, 365 days a year. I decided a few months later to reapply the product using the same process as the first time: apply, let it sit a bit, buff lightly and repeat the process. That seemed to make it last indefinitely. The product is so easy to use even if you have to reapply every couple months it's well worth it but this application has been holding up.

I have been a loyal advocate of Mothers Back to Black. Then I tried MEDS ReNu. This product lasts for months. Mothers only lasts a few weeks. I use it on the carbon fiber on my Porsche with superb results. It makes the parts look factory new. I use it on all the black trim on my wife's Celica too. My son used it on his Mini Cooper and he is delighted. Warning! I splashed some on my golf shirt. It does not come out. So wear clothing that is ok if you make a mistake like I did.Now March of 2013, I refreshed the Toyota Celica air intake on my wife's car with MEDS ReNu. The car is a 2001, now 12 years old. The air intake looks new. I have still not finished the first tiny jug of ReNu.

With all the hype generated on television about auto trim restoration I wanted to try the latest "wipe new". I researched Amazon because you can find anything on here. Well...they didnt sell "wipe new", but they had this product and it appeared to have been around awhile. You would not be wasting your money on this product it works alot like a dye instead of a gloss treatment. It soaks in and looks amazing. Im not sure how long this "dye" lasts, but a few car washes later it still looks like the day I applied it. If your looking for a alternative to pulling, painting, and/or replacing black or grey auto vinyl this is your fraction of the cost solution.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for MEDS ReNu Finish RF175 Automotive Trim Restorer/Restoration
2007 Expedition EL XLT model. Black plastic sideboards/rocker panels, running boards and rear bumper and front bumper--covered all with about 1/3 of small bottle remaining. Really works well and appearance is significantly improved. Rear bumper top surface was entirely faded to white and is black again. Work it in with a little elbow grease, then straight line finishing strokes like a paint brush. Dries to a tacky/slight sticky finish. Use the gloves and wear grubbies as this stuff will stain.Recommended product.
