What is APEX RTC?

APEX RTC is a rubber and trim conditioner that restores faded plastics and protects them from the sun at the same time. Sun-bleached bumpers, grey trim, and dull vinyl come back to a rich, like-new color and depth — and stay protected.

It works on exterior trim: bumpers, body trim, and tires. It conditions and restores instead of drying the surface out, adds UV protection and a water-resistant gloss that survives multiple washes, and is antistatic so dust is less likely to settle. Note: it is an exterior trim product — not for painted surfaces, fabrics, leather, or glass.

  • Type: Rubber, plastic & vinyl conditioner
  • Restores: Faded color & depth
  • Protection: UV & water-resistant
  • Use on: Trim, bumpers, tires
  • Antistatic: Repels dust & dirt
  • Not for: Paint, glass, leather, fabric

Why it works

Nothing ages a car's look like faded trim. Bumpers go grey, textured plastic chalks, and a clean car still looks tired. A conditioner brings that back — if it's the right kind.

The cheap ones look great for a day, then leave the plastic drier than before. APEX RTC conditions and protects instead, so the restored color actually holds.

Where to use it

Paint
Exterior Vinyl
Tires
Plastic Trim

Exterior rubber, plastic, and vinyl trim — bumpers, body trim, and tires. Exterior use only. Not for painted surfaces, fabrics, leather, or glass.

How to use

1. Make sure the trim is clean and dry.

2. Apply an even coat with a foam applicator.

3. Let it absorb and restore color and depth.

4. Wipe any excess with a microfiber for an even finish. Keep it off paint, glass, leather, and fabric.

Application tips

Use a foam applicator. It gives the most even coverage and the cleanest edges along trim lines.

Less is more. A thin, even coat restores color without looking wet or greasy. Wipe any excess.

Clean first. Color comes back best on trim that's already clean and dry.

How it works

Restore and protect

1
It penetrates the surface. Rather than sitting on top, it works into faded plastic and rubber to bring back the color that UV exposure leached out.
2
It leaves UV protection behind. The conditioning layer shields the trim from the sun, slowing the fade from happening again.
3
It stays put and repels dust. Water-resistant through multiple washes, with antistatic properties that keep dust from clinging.

Not for paint, glass, leather, or fabric

RTC is built for exterior rubber, plastic, and vinyl trim — bumpers, body trim, and tires. It's an exterior product: keep it off painted panels, glass, leather, and fabrics. A foam applicator gives the cleanest, most even result.
