How do you refinish oxidized aluminum?
Classic TrimCoat is a patent pending, waterbased, simple and easy to use solution to oxidation on anodized aluminum. It has a aluminum deoxidizer which, after some simple preparation of the oxidized surfaces, clarifies the oxidized surface, restoring the aluminum to a like new condition. Watch our videos on How to Restore Oxidized Aluminum with Classic TrimCoat kits. While it does not fix surface scratches, it does deliver a clarifying protective coating against further damage. There is no need to remove the moldings to apply the treatment.
Does Classic TrimCoat have a Money Back Guarantee?
Yes!
We have refinished over 3,000 cars in the Atlanta area at major dealerships, and feel confident that if you do not get the result you expect, we will give you a 30 day money back guarantee
What makes Classic TrimCoat different from other products?
Most other products are just polishes which contain waxes. Flitz, Mothers, and many other big name brand "Polishes" can never work to permantly restore a "like new Look" to "oxidized, anodized, aluminum". Some of these wax based products incorporate mild abraisves which will parially reduce surface oxidization. Unfortunately, this is not enough to restore a like new look. In addition, when the wax burns off, the problem returns. These conventional waxes only work on raw aluminum which has not been anodized. All exterior window moldings are anodized aluminum, and will not respond to conventional polishes. We have a Patent Pending, permanent solution to the oxidized, anodized aluminum problem. We would not have spent the time, research, and expense to apply for a patent if we didn't have something different. A Wax solution to this problem is impossible.

Does anodized aluminum have a protective clearcoat on it?
NO!
I have personnally refinished over 3,000 cars both new and old in the Atlanta area in my detailing business over the past twelve years. I use my patent pending oxidized aluminum water based system, and have had most of these accounts for twelve years. I work at two United BMW locations, Dyer and Dyer Volvo, both Hennessy Jaguar locations, RBM of Atlanta Mercedes, Atlanta Classic Cars mercedes, and others, and to date have not found that there is a clearcoat on anodized aluminum. There is no need for it. If there were a clearcoat on the surface, anodized aluminum would not oxidize. Anodized aluminum oxidizes when it is exposed to oxygen, and other elements in the atmosphere like various acids and chemicals. If there was a coating on it at one time, it is certainly gone at the time oxidation becomes apparent. There is no polish that improves the chalky, faded, look of oxidized aluminum for very long. Polishes are waxes which temporarily make the surface look shinier, much in the same way Armorall makes many surface appear new looking for a short time. Also, many are confused about the differences between anodized aluminum and regular aluminum, or chrome. Polishes work on chrome, un-anodized aluminum, and other un-anodized or plated metals, but not on anodized aluminum. Anodized aluminum, as explained above, is a very hard crust formed from itself. When it becomes oxidized, the anodized surface becomes microscopically etched into very fine craters. The only way to eliminate the oxidized look for a long period of time is to use a non wax, non oil formula. That is why I invented Classic TrimCoat...Patent Pending # 12/191,357

How do I know this will work? I have tried everthing! Scotch Bright, Brasso, Acid products, Mother's Aluminum Polish, and nothing seems to work.
We have been in business for the past twelve years providing this as a service to BMW, Jaguar, Volvo, Mercedes and other dealerships in the Atlanta area. We have done thousands of cars, and it is for this reason we offer a 30 day money back guarantee. Although our product is more expensive to formulate than polishes and other products, the end result is worth it. It is far less expensive than replacing the exterior moldings.
Will Classic TrimCoat hurt my paint?
No! The Classic TrimCoat deoxidizer formula is water based, and cannot hurt your paint.
Why do you have to mask before you apply the treatment?
The only reason we mask before applying the deoxidizer, is to protect the paint while sanding. The new paints are very durable, and are harder to buff back to a shine if they have been dulled by sanding.
How long will the application last?
If you apply at least two coats, the application will last for about two years. It all depends on how it is cared for after the application.
What after care is required?
A light application of a good quality polish, like Maguair's yelow wax can be applied to extend the life of the finished application. This can be done every few months.
How many cars can I do with my kit?
There is enough of the deoxidizer in the kit to do four or five cars.
What are the best conditions to apply the treatment?
It is best to work inside at around room temperature. If you work outside in very cold temperatures, the finished coat may show drag marks or ridges in the final coat. If it is too hot out, the coating will dry quickly. Of the two conditions, the hotter condition would be better.
Where should I store the un-used product?
Because Classic TrimCoat is a water based product, it should not be allowed to freeze. It is recommended that you store it inside as apposed to an unheated garage where it may freeze. It can stand one freezeing before it turns into a solid lump. We would recommend that you don't allow it to freeze even once.
What others are saying about the Professional Quality of Classic TrimCoat
Just a word to tell others about a very effective and reasonably priced solution to the problem of oxidation on exterior window trim on most BMW models. For the past ten years or so, I have used the services of Paul Miller owner of Classic TrimCoat to refinish our exterior trim. Replacement of these trim pieces can be costly to our dealership, therefore, we have found that the better solution is to use the ClassicTrimCoat product. -Mike Costa, Pre-owned sales manager at United BMW of Roswell, Atlanta,GA
I was first introduced to Paul Miller and Classic TrimCoat products over ten years ago when I was sales manager at United BMW. At that time, we were having problems with some of the exterior plastic and aluminum trim pieces on most of the BMW models. We found that using ClassicTrimCoat products, we were able to avoid having to replace these pieces. I am now with Atlanta Classic Cars Mercedes, and we still use the Classic TrimCoat products on many of our Mercedes models. - Fred Willey, Atlanta Classic Cars
For many years now, our Volvo dealership has used the services of Paul Miller of Classic TrimCoat in Atlanta. The Volvo XC90 model often shows signs of oxidation on the exterior window trim. Mr. Miller has a patent pending product which refinishes these trim pieces at a reasonable cost. Because replacement can run into the thousands, we find the Classic TrimCoat product to be an extremely good value. - Joe Firpo, sales manager at Dyer & Dyer Volvo in Atlanta, Ga
