A well-maintained body significantly enhances the appearance of your car. This guide shows how to restore the look of your vehicle's plastic trim using a gel designed for automotive bodies, readily available at any auto body supply store. The gel adheres to the surfaces without dripping, perfectly reaching the corners of the car's doors.

Once you apply the gel to the car's surface, use a sponge or cloth to spread it evenly over the area of interest.
