SOFT99 Nano Hard Plastics Coat 8ml – Exterior Plastic Trim Restorer & Ceramic Coating

Product Description

Restore the appearance of faded, discoloured exterior plastic trim with SOFT99 Nano Hard Plastics Coat. This concentrated protective coating is designed to revive the look of weathered, unpainted plastic surfaces while creating a transparent, glass-like protective layer that helps resist further fading and environmental exposure.

Ideal for black and dark-grey automotive trim, Nano Hard Plastics Coat helps improve colour depth and create a more uniform, refreshed appearance without relying on a thick, greasy dressing. Its polymer coating forms a durable protective layer over properly prepared plastic, providing a practical alternative to temporary trim dressings that may need frequent reapplication.

The formula is designed for a range of suitable unpainted plastic surfaces, including exterior trim and selected plastic components around the vehicle. SOFT99 states that the coating can last approximately six months to one year, depending on conditions and maintenance.

With its compact 8ml bottle and included sponge applicators, SOFT99 Nano Hard Plastics Coat is well suited to targeted restoration projects, from faded bumper trim and mirror housings to other compatible exterior plastic components.

For the best results, thoroughly clean and dry the surface, apply a thin and even layer, remove excess product after approximately five minutes, and keep the treated area dry for 24 hours while the coating begins to cure.

Recommended Applications

SOFT99 Nano Hard Plastics Coat is intended for suitable, unpainted plastic surfaces. Potential applications include:

• Exterior bumper trim

• Unpainted plastic mirror housings

• Exterior plastic mouldings

• Plastic grille components

• Suitable unpainted exterior plastic panels

• Other compatible, non-painted plastic components

The coating is especially useful for black and dark-grey plastic that has become faded or hazy through exposure to sunlight and weather.

Do not assume it is suitable for every plastic or finish. Avoid painted surfaces, matte finishes where a change in appearance would be undesirable, transparent plastic, screens, helmet visors, and any surface where visibility could be affected. Check the manufacturer's instructions before treating unusual or specially finished materials.

How to Apply SOFT99 Nano Hard Plastics Coat

Proper preparation is essential for even coverage and long-lasting performance.

Step 1: Clean the plastic

Wash the trim thoroughly with a suitable pH-neutral automotive shampoo to remove dirt, dust, and road film. Remove existing dressing and oily residue so the coating can contact the plastic directly.

Step 2: Dry and prepare the surface

Dry the plastic completely. The surface must be free of moisture, oils, and cleaning-product residue before application.

For best results, work in a shaded, dry area with moderate temperatures. Avoid hot surfaces, rainy conditions, and temperatures below 10°C.

Step 3: Protect surrounding areas

Use automotive masking tape to protect adjacent paintwork, rubber seals, textured surfaces, or other areas you do not want to coat. This is particularly helpful when treating narrow trim pieces and intricate grille components.

Step 4: Wear protective gloves and prepare the product

Wear suitable protective gloves and shake the bottle as directed on the packaging. Use the supplied sponge applicator.

Step 5: Apply a small amount

Dispense a small amount of coating onto the black side of the included sponge. Spread it in a thin, uniform layer over the prepared plastic.

Work in manageable sections and avoid applying excessive product, which can lead to uneven coverage or visible residue.

Step 6: Allow approximately five minutes

Let the coating sit on the surface for approximately five minutes, following the product instructions.

Step 7: Wipe off the excess

Use a clean, dry microfiber towel to remove remaining residue evenly. Inspect the surface from different angles to check for streaks, high spots, or missed areas.

Step 8: Keep the surface dry

Do not touch or wet the treated surface for at least 24 hours. The coating takes approximately three to four days to harden completely.

Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the treated trim to rain during the initial curing period.

Aftercare and Maintenance

• Respect the curing period: Keep the coated surface dry for at least 24 hours and allow approximately three to four days for full hardening.

• Wash gently: Once fully cured, clean the trim with a suitable automotive shampoo and soft wash media.

• Avoid harsh chemicals: Aggressive cleaners or solvents may affect the coating and shorten its useful life.

• Do not repeatedly apply oily dressings over the coating: Additional products can alter the appearance and may interfere with maintenance.

• Inspect the finish periodically: Check for unevenness, wear, or declining water repellency, especially after winter driving and frequent washing.

• Reapply when needed: Refresh the coating when its appearance or protective performance declines, following the complete preparation process.

• Use clean applicators and towels: Contaminated tools can leave streaks or transfer oils onto the surface.

• Store the bottle correctly: Close it tightly after use and store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, freezing conditions, and temperatures above 40°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is SOFT99 Nano Hard Plastics Coat?

It is a concentrated coating for suitable unpainted plastic surfaces. It helps revive faded trim and forms a transparent, glass-like protective polymer layer.

2. How long does Nano Hard Plastics Coat last?

SOFT99 states that the coating can last approximately six months to one year. Actual durability depends on the plastic's condition, surface preparation, exposure to the elements, and maintenance.

3. Does it restore faded black plastic trim?

It can improve the appearance of faded or discoloured unpainted plastic, particularly black and dark-grey trim. Results vary according to the material and its condition. Severely damaged, cracked, or degraded plastic may not regain a uniform appearance.

4. Does it leave a glossy finish?

The coating can add shine and improve colour depth. The final appearance depends on the plastic's original texture, condition, and the amount of product applied.

5. Is this the same as a temporary plastic dressing?

No. Nano Hard Plastics Coat is designed to form a durable protective layer rather than simply leaving a temporary dressing on the surface. Proper preparation and curing are essential to its performance.

6. Can I apply it to painted bumpers?

It is intended for suitable unpainted plastic, not as a general paint coating. Avoid painted areas unless the manufacturer explicitly confirms compatibility, and mask surrounding paintwork during application.

7. Can it be used on interior plastic?

The product is designed for plastic surfaces, but not every material or finish is suitable. Confirm compatibility with the manufacturer before using it on interior components, especially textured, coated, soft-touch, or highly visible surfaces.

8. Can it be applied in cold weather?

Avoid application when the temperature is below 10°C, as low temperatures can cause uneven results. Hot weather, direct sunlight, and rain can also interfere with application and curing.

9. How long before I can wash the vehicle?

Keep the treated surface dry for at least 24 hours. The coating takes approximately three to four days to harden completely, so avoid unnecessary exposure and aggressive cleaning during this period.

10. Can I apply multiple coats?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the product. Begin with a thin, even application and remove excess residue correctly. Do not add extra layers without confirming that the application method is appropriate for the surface and product.

11. What happens if I leave residue on the trim?

Excess coating can create streaks or uneven patches. Allow approximately five minutes before wiping, then remove residue evenly with a clean, dry microfiber towel. Carefully inspect the surface before the coating hardens.

12. Can I use it on headlights, screens, or transparent plastic?

Do not use it on surfaces where visibility could be affected, including screens and helmet visors. For headlights or transparent plastic, only use it if the manufacturer specifically confirms compatibility with that material.
