Lithium Trim Restorer vs All Dressed Up – Which Actually Lasts?
Which trim and tire dressing actually lasts—Lithium’s trim restorer or All Dressed Up? We put them head-to-head in real-world conditions.
Application Comparison
- Lithium: Thick gel-like formula. Requires extra buffing to level. Can streak or sling if over-applied.
- All Dressed Up: Water-based, sprayable or wipe-on formula. Levels evenly and dries to a matte OEM-style finish.
Finish and Appearance
Lithium: Leaves a high-gloss, wet look—great for show cars but not for everyone.
All Dressed Up: Restores a clean, rich black without any greasy shine. Looks like brand-new trim—not overdone.
Longevity in the Real World
We applied both products to exterior trim and tires, then subjected them to 2 weeks of weather, washing, and sun exposure.
- Lithium: Gloss started to fade after 5–6 days. Needed reapplication by week two.
- All Dressed Up: Maintained its look for nearly 3 weeks. No greasy residue, no browning on tires.
The Winner: All Dressed Up
If you’re after a realistic, long-lasting finish that doesn’t attract dust or wear off fast—All Dressed Up is the clear winner. It can be used straight or diluted 4:1 for a softer look and still outlasts most dressings on the market.
