No matter how much you wash and wax your vehicle, the plastic, vinyl, or rubber trim and body parts will start to lose their sheen, flexibility, and deep coloration. The main culprit is the relentless ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.

We recently had our truck in the shop with our long-term mechanic friends. They’ve taken care of our vehicles over the last 15 years or so. The truck needed some major work on the engine, and when my friend Pat returned the vehicle to me and we popped the hood to take a look at the work that had been done, the entire engine compartment and engine components looked like they were new.

That’s when Pat told me about Cristal Products GX-3 Plastic Restorer. He’s a big fan of the stuff and uses it himself on his vehicles, including keeping a nice sheen and protectant on tire sidewalls.

We’ve found this really works well. It’s sold in a spray can, the same size as better-quality spray paint. You can apply the restorer either directly from the can or by spraying it on an applicator pad and then applying it more precisely without overspray.

Pat said I could buy it online, but he’s found it at Walmart in the auto supply section for about $5 a can - slightly less than the online price. He keeps several on hand. I went to a local Walmart and picked up a couple of cans too!

Although the can states you can visit Cristal Products at cristalproducts.com, that website is no longer active. The correct website is:

https://buycristalproducts.com

The product description on the can says that it is good for plastic, vinyl, and rubber and has compounds in it that allow it to stay on the surface for many washings. It can also be used on the vehicle’s interior leather. We found it to work well, have a pleasant scent, and not make the leather overly slippery.

You’ll find that the company has a variety of detailing products at reasonable prices. The company is located in Puerto Rico - a U.S. Territory. The can states that the product is made in the United States.

Our initial impressions are very favorable. It’s easy to apply, and if there is overspray on glass, it’s easy to get off. If you want a deeper color or higher sheen, apply two coats, waiting about 15 minutes between applications. You can see an immediate difference, and when used on step rails, it isn’t overly slippery, so your grip on the step is still steady.

In a year, we’ll return and let you know what the long-term results are and how durable this product has turned out to be. The initial results are great, but we’ll let you know how well this works through a set of seasons!

Sure, you can pay a detailer to restore your vehicle to like-new condition, but with Cristal Products GX-9 Plastic Restorer, you can JUST DO IT YOURSELF!
