Bring Your Faded Plastics Back to Life

Plastic Restoration Toaster Grease is a premium solution developed by the team at ToasterParts. Designed specifically for your Honda Element, this grease-based formula revives dull plastic and adds a subtle satin sheen. Unlike typical dressings, it avoids the slippery mess or fake, overly glossy shine found in most off-the-shelf products.

Where It Works Best

This Honda Element plastic trim restorer is ideal for:

✅ Bumper trim
✅ Side moldings
✅ Fender flares
✅ Cowl pieces and mirror caps
✅ Interior plastics that have seen better days

In other words, if it’s faded, this grease can bring it back.

Why It Outperforms Other Products

Compared to quick-shine sprays, Toaster Grease actually penetrates the plastic. As a result, it delivers deeper, longer-lasting protection with a natural-looking OEM finish. In addition, it’s easy to use—just wipe it on with a microfiber or sponge.

Even better, a little goes a long way.

Built on DIY Know-How

For years, Honda Element owners have been creating their own plastic restorer mixes. While those DIY methods work, they often require messy measuring and cleanup. ToasterParts simplified the process by doing the mixing for you.

Therefore, you just open the jar, apply, and enjoy factory-fresh results.

How We Use It at Element DIY

This product plays a key role in our own detailing process. Before every photo shoot, we apply Toaster Grease to the trim on used parts. As a result, they look clean, rich, and ready for install.

It’s not just a touch-up—it’s a transformation.

Simple Instructions for Long-Lasting Results

Clean the surface thoroughly.
Apply a small amount of Toaster Grease with a microfiber or applicator pad.
Let it sit for a few minutes.
Buff off any excess with a clean towel.
Reapply as needed—especially after washes or deep restorations.

For best results, work in a shaded area and avoid applying to hot surfaces.

Safe and Effective Formula

Ingredients: Time-tested blend of plastic-safe oils and waxes.

👻 The GHOST BUILD Begins

The Next Chapter of Element DIY Starts Now

I’m writing this from an excellent coffee house in Lewisville, NC called The Coffee Mill. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend it for good coffee and even better vibes.

This isn’t a rumor. It’s happening. The Ghost Build is live — and it’s unlike anything we’ve done before.

After a year of planning, sketching, and testing materials, I’m kicking off a new flagship build that will become the next workhorse for Element DIY.

Honda Element AWD Ghost Build Base — The starting point — a clean AWD Element with a bad 5MT.

The vision is simple: stealth, strength, and modular upgrades that show off what’s possible when DIY meets real-world adventure.

What Makes the Ghost Build Special:

Bold aesthetic. Aggressive style. High performance.
Upgraded mods based on years of Element DIY feedback.
Prototypes of the newest concepts coming out of the carport.

The Ghost Build will highlight our latest product designs and collaborations, and showcase the craftsmanship of some of the best Element builders across the country.

First Stop: North Carolina

We’re kicking things off in North Carolina with Avery — the mind behind the original Colburn Cubbies. Avery has pioneered and perfected multiple electrical and lighting mods. As a professional automotive audio and electrical installer, he focuses on preserving the OEM look while enhancing function. His upgrades are clean, clever, and built to last.

Colburn Cubbies by Avery — Avery’s Colburn Cubbies — the gold standard in door storage.

Next, we’re heading to the Element Society’s Movie Night in Eden, NC on 7/19, where we’ll be collaborating with camping.element and Toaster Parts.

After that comes one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle: the installation of some major upgrades with Classic Automotive NC. First up is a JDM 6MT swap — but that’s just the beginning. We’re also working on brake upgrades for towing, rear trailing arm supports, and a few still-classified enhancements we’re keeping under wraps for now.

Finally, I’m excited to link up with Justin for a full Raptor liner job. I’ve never met him in person, but his work speaks for itself — and it’s seriously impressive.

Why It Matters

This rig will be hitting the road for future Element meet-ups, shows, and trailheads nationwide. It’s a rolling showcase of what we stand for: practical, durable, adventure-ready gear that anyone can install and enjoy.

Ghost Build in Progress — Watch the transformation unfold — we’ll be posting updates every step of the way.

Our first major destination: the PNW Meet. 2025 will mark our first time making the 5,000+ mile round trip to Seattle.

Follow along on socials and through email. I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes progress, product sneak peeks, and the stories behind every mod that makes it into the Ghost Build.

We’re definitely putting our heart into this one.
