Gtechniq C4 Trim Restorer

First off not affiliate with this company and I have no financial interest nor receive any benefit. Now with that out of the way ordered this stuff from the UK and applied this weekend. My Targa spends lots of time outside in sun and the black plastic had begun to fade etc. Cleaned right up and looked great with 303, VRT, and others but required reapplication within relatively short period of time. So decided to give this stuff a try, claim is that it lasts for up to two years. Nano coating, dry to touch, non-greasy. Prep is key as surface must be free of oil, grease and other products. APC followed by IPA seemed to do the trick. Wipes on with the cotton pads provided (makeup removal pads) and then you immediately remove excess with microfiber cloth using light touch so as to remove excess but not the product entirely. Toss microfiber when done as the product has bonded to cloth. Obviously avoid getting on glass or paint, wipe immediately if you do. I prepped, applied waited hour and washed car, no running, beads like crazy. Applied to plastic, rubber seals on doors, roof, etc and even tried on back of wipers. All products look good on day one so time will tell. Anyway reports on a UK forum seem to verify long lasting results, will report back in month or so. Here are few shots.

Not horrible, but faded for sure. My car is eight months old and well maintained so no disaster by any stretch. Drove over to my Porsche dealer yesterday after applying and the plastic is definitely deeper and richer black after treatment then the new vehicles in the showroom. The manufacturers website has a video of trashed porsche plastic which shines right up after treatment. My interest was not so much in restoring destroyed trim as in looking great for extended time without reapplying. Hope this helps.

This stuff is amazing and I'm trying to get a group of people together to buy.
Gtechniq isn't so available in the US mainland and it's expensive.
Anybody interested in doing a group buy of Gtechniq product?
