Rejuvenating plastic trim - TriNova Plastic & Trim

[Ceesie76]

The plastic trim on my 2016 C650 Sport was getting faded and grey-ish from it being parked in the Southern California sun all the time, near the ocean. I figured this was inevitable, but thought I would have a go with one of the many products offered to 'rejuvenate' (black and other color) plastic trim that had some positive customer feedback. Boy what a difference it made, within an hour my scooter was looking better than new. Treated all of the black bits, including the saddle. What surprised me, besides the huge positive effect on the appearance, was that it does not seem to leave any oily/slippery/filmy residue (which is important when it comes to the saddle). I rarely leave product reviews, but this stuff is really very good. It's called TriNova Plastic & Trim restorer, made in the US (it says) and available here at least through Amazon. A 236 ml / 8 fl oz bottle cost $11, free shipping and I used less than a third of the bottle. Of course, how long it holds up remains to be seen at this point, but even if I have to re-apply it every month or two, it's definitely worth it because the whole scooter looks brand-new again.
I did use one other product before, made by Mother's, but that did not have near the effect that this TriNova stuff has.

For details, I applied it to the:

- steering wheel cap pieces
- black plastic top and side 'fenders'
- footsteps
- windshield brackets
- dashboard plastic (including the clear screen)
- handlebar controls
- gas cap + surrounding plastic
- mirrors + mirror stalks
- black plastic exhaust end piece
- lower black plastic side skirts/fenders
- rear light / brackets
- entire saddle
- passenger saddle grab bars

Basically all the black plastic on the bike.

Sorry, forgot to take any before pictures. Greyish, spotty, faded.
The 'after' are basically what it looked like when new.
