Initial Impression: 'Effing Fantastic!
Update: 10/30/2024The durability of this product is impressive. Since treating the plastic on my Wrangler over a year ago, it still looks dark black with only the faintest perceptible fading. While the plastic is still dark black instead of gray, it has only lost the shiny luster a bit. My vehicle sits outside 24/7 and is exposed to the harsh sun in the desert South West along with dust and monsoon rains. I have washed the vehicle using a self-service bay with high pressure sprayer and foaming brush about 5-6 times since application. At this rate I anticipate it will live up to the manufacturers claims. Go ahead and purchase this with confidence so long as you are willing to put the time in to properly prepare the surfaces before application.Initial Review submitted 9/27/2023Note: Other reviews stated they received dry sponges. It seems this issue has been resolved. I received mine on 8/20/23 and all four sponges were sopping wet as expected.Vehicle Treated: 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (2 Door) (with black plastic fenders/bumpers)Like all restoration work, proper prep is absolutely crucial. These are the steps I took and my impression of the results.1) I washed the vehicle with a stripping soap to remove all wax and previous treatments from the plastic areas to be treated.2) I then used a power washer (with no soap) with a 35 degree nozzle and sprayed very close and directly perpendicular to the plastic surfaces to remove as much wax/soap/dirt/oils etc.3) Inside a garage after the vehicle was left to cool for several hours, I used denatured alcohol with clean cotton towels to vigorously scrub down all trim to be treated. I repeated this step a second time. The product directions that come inside the package say to skip this step and instead use the included spray cleaner, I however opted to do both as I wanted the trim to be as clean as possible before applying the treatment.4) I then cleaned the trim surfaces with the included spray trim cleaner using a clean, barely-wet microfiber towel that had been wrung out to remove as much moisture as possible but was still damp. Because my previous cleaning prep was so thorough, I didn't need to use much of their product to clean the plastic surfaces. My microfiber towel showed very little dirt afterwards. I waited 30 minutes to make sure all plastic was completely dry before moving on to the next step.5) I applied the plastic treatment using my own gloves (the included gloves are too small for my XXL hands) and used very light pressure to prevent over-application initially as the sponges were very wet. I gradually increased pressure as the product was depleted from the applicator. I used small circular motions to make sure the small pores on the Wrangler trim were fully coated inside. I was able to treat all four wheel fenders, front and rear bumpers, as well as 3 door handles, two mirrors and the third brake light tower above the spare tire using three sponges. I suspect that removing as much crud from the plastic beforehand reduced the amount of product required to treat the entire vehicle. Bonus: I think I have enough left over to treat the plastic on my two motorcycles!** Product literature states to wipe the product off after 60 seconds or to leave it for more "sheen". I initially wiped a small area and did not like the matte look as it looked less like the plastic did when the vehicle was new. I opted to leave the product on without wiping it down after application for the shinier look. It looks just like the plastic did when I received the vehicle new from the factory.** The product literature also states conflicting information about cure times. The back of the sponge pouch states to let the product cure for 12 hours before exposing to water. However the included instruction card in the package states that the product needs to cure for 24-36 hours before exposing to water. I opted to cure in the garage for 48 hours before exposing to sunlight or water just to be safe. After the initial application, the treatment felt a little tacky. After curing for 48 hours, that tackiness cured to a hard layer that is now very smooth and slick to the touch.Impressions: While my plastic was not as faded (my vehicle was previously always garaged) as those shown in other Amazon reviews, the difference was striking on my 12 year old plastic. My trim now looks exactly like it did when the vehicle was new. It has been on for about a week as of the submission of this review. At this point with other products I have tried, I could see that they would have started to fade. This still looks amazing, granted a week isn't very long. I suspect it will last far longer than my previous attempts to treat it using Meguiar's/Mothers/Aerospace, etc. The plastic now also sheds water in a way it never did before when new. Water beads up and rolls right off. I am thoroughly impressed so far. I will try and remember to post an update in 6 and 12 months to see what the long term results are and if the product is as durable as the manufacturer claims. Stay tuned...

Good product, and a great company.
The pouches to all four graphine bricks were broken, and all of the bricks were completely dry.I tried to apply moisture and use them and it did not work well. The spray on cleaner cap was loose and it too leaked.Terrible packaging. This was a complete disappointment.UpdateCustomer service contacted me and sent me a new set of cubes. I have had a chance to use them, and wait to see how long the results last.I am happy with the results. The cubes work well on black trim, and they seem to have much more longevity than other products I have tried. It has been well over a month and the trim still looks very good. There is some fade, but with this product, I think it will last a very long time between applications. There is some fade so if you are looking for a truly permanent solution I do not think this is it. However, this is the best product for black trim restoration I have tried, so I still rate it five stars.Lithium also sent a bottle of interior detail, and an exterior detail spray. This was definitely above and beyond what they needed to do.Thank you very much! I will definitely buy again from them in the future!Another updateIt looks Iike the Lithium works very well. After the first month, it looses a bit of the shine, but dark shade of the trim is still there. Since the shine was gone I thought it was fading a bit but that is not the case.It looks like my last update was not correct. Lithium does live up to its claims!

Lithium restoration kit, goes a SHORT way for restoration
First off, this kit contains 4 cubes with the restoration material on it. 1 of the 4 cubes I received was D-R-Y.Secondly, if you have an older vehicle, do not expect these cubes to last for any meaningful restoration. I cleaned with soap and a scrub on a 96 Tracker front bumper, which was in pretty good condition already. After teh soap scrub, cleaned twice with alcohol and then with the spray bottle cleaner that comes with the kit. I pretty much used up 3/4 of that bottle, as it's not much either. Functioinaly, for the price, each cube is about $10 bucks. A single cube will NOT go very far. On my bumper, about 8" - 10" across, needing a number of applications. The point is:Third, if you have an older vehicle, use another product, or take the time to sand the bumper down to remove the old, decayed plastic, else the Cube will be eaten alive.Fourth, I estimate I'd need 2-3 full kits, with all pads, to complete this single bumper. I suspect, with sanding, say 600 grit to end with 2K grit, this stuff MIGHT work a single kit for the bumper. MIGHT.Not cost effective.After that used the three good cubes. Each cube was a bit dry, in my opinion, for

Must have!!!
Absolutely worth every cent! Easy to use and amazing results! I can't speak on longevity of the finish but I'm sure that will impress me as well. I was able to do my entire bronco with just 2 cubes. Pack comes with more then enough! It's a newer vehicle but I started to notice some slight discolouration in the plastic trim. After using the product it restored to brand new! I'm sure it will also help protect from future fading. I will be buying more to use on my other vehicles.

1 of the 4 sponges was dry as a bone, no fluid at all.
I used it a week ago on my Jeep Wrangler fenders, it did good until I opened the second package and the sponge was dry, My Jeep fenders are very large in the front, it took a whole sponge for each one, the rear fenders are smaller but still didn't have enough liquid in the last one to completely cover both rear fenders. If it last a while I'll probably buy again to get a complete cover on all fenders.
