Torque Detail Plastic Restore vs All Dressed Up – Side-by-Side Results
We tested both products on faded trim and rubber. Here’s what worked, what failed, and what actually looked OEM when dry.
First Impressions
Torque Detail Plastic Restore: Comes in a small squeeze bottle. Oily consistency, silicone-based. Smells like a traditional solvent trim gel.
All Dressed Up: Water-based formula with no strong odor. Applies with an applicator pad. Can be diluted 2:1 or 4:1 depending on gloss level desired.
Application Process
- Plastic Restore: Rub on, let sit, wipe excess. Can streak if overapplied.
- All Dressed Up: Apply evenly with a foam applicator, dries clean with zero tackiness.
Visual Finish
- Plastic Restore: Deep gloss for the first 12–24 hours, then fades quickly
- All Dressed Up: Matte OEM-style finish that blends with factory trim
If you want showroom-style shine, Plastic Restore will do that temporarily. If you want subtle and clean, All Dressed Up nails it.
Durability Test – 2 Weeks
After two washes and light rain exposure:
- Plastic Restore: Was mostly gone, uneven blotches remained
- All Dressed Up: Still looked clean and consistent—no oily runoff or spotting
Bonus Use Cases for All Dressed Up
- Interior dashboards and door panels
- Tires (matte finish if undiluted)
- Engine bays and rubber weather trim
Plastic Restore is strictly for exterior trim and doesn’t work well indoors or on tires due to residue issues.
Final Verdict
Torque Detail Plastic Restore gives an instant gloss boost, but doesn’t last. It looks greasy and fades fast—especially with rain or washes. All Dressed Up gives you a dry, OEM look that stays consistent, doesn’t sling, and works across multiple surfaces.
