What Customers & Professionals Are Saying

Transformation stories from truck owners, detailers, and dealership pros.

"I've tried every trim restorer on the market over 20 years in this business. TS-1 is the only one that actually lasts. No greasy mess, no washing off after rain. It's what we use on every pre-owned vehicle before it hits the lot."

Mark T.

Dealership Reconditioning Manager, Ohio

"My Avalanche cladding was completely chalked out — white and embarrassing. One application of TS-1 and it looked brand new. I've had it for 8 months and it still looks great after multiple washes."

Dave R.

Chevrolet Avalanche Owner, Texas

"We use TS-1 at our detail shop exclusively. The silicone-free formula means we never have to worry about overspray contaminating paint jobs. Clients are always blown away by the results."

Jason M.

Professional Detail Shop Owner, Arizona

"Used it on my Jeep Wrangler fender flares and the cowl panel. Completely transformed the look. Looks exactly like it came off the factory floor — matte, rich, no shine. Perfect."

Chris B.

Jeep Wrangler Enthusiast, Colorado

"Best trim restoration product available. I've recommended TS-1 to every customer who asks about faded trim. The transformation is dramatic and the results hold up."

THE TS-1 DIFFERENCE

Why TS-1 Is Different

Not all trim restorers are created equal. Here's what sets TS-1 apart.

Silicone-Free Formula

TS-1 contains zero silicone — no overspray risk, no slippery surfaces, no contamination issues for painters or body shops.

Pro Grade Concentrated Formula

Unlike greasy dressings that wash off, TS-1 bonds to the surface for a restoration that lasts — not just a temporary cover-up.

Dry-to-the-Touch Finish

Restores a natural OEM-like matte/satin finish that looks and feels factory-correct — never greasy, never tacky.

Safe on All Dark Trim Colors

Whether your trim is charcoal, black, dark gray, or textured matte, TS-1 restores without discoloring or changing texture.

Works on Any Exterior Plastic

Cladding, fender flares, mirrors, running boards, bumpers, cowl panels — if it's dark exterior plastic, TS-1 works on it.
