I picked this up a while ago to improve the look of the black trim on my car.



I find this product works pretty well. I use it on any black trim, around my mirrors and it also works on the metal parts of your windshield wipers.  You need to apply several coats for the best finish. My only complaint with the product is that the "fresh wet" look only lasts for a few weeks.  I'd give this product a rating of 8/10.

Here is an idea of before and after 1 coat on my mirror trim.



Final result after several coats

What about more than one coat?

I'm actually not a big fan of this stuff. It didn't work well for me at all.

I went and bought some a few hours ago and I must say it works pretty well. It may be because I have super faded black stuff, but regardless it was a huge improvement. I am uploading pics currently.

Pics:



This is after one coat. I applied it to the door plastic/vinyl, mirror area, and windshield wipers.

I guess he has money to burn.  I'd rather waste my money on parts that actually make my car faster, hookers, and drugs.  Fucking amateurs.   :Smiley

I can also say that this is a GREAT product.  It's restored my sun faded black trim back to black! I highly recommend it. Pictures to come!

I've been wanting to grab some of this for a while but now that I never realized the results could be that good. I may have to wait though. I've been grabbing a lot of detailing supplies lately and Ash gives me attitude, until she sees the results. LOL!!!

I like what it does, but it has never lasted me more than a few days.

I think it really depends on how you apply it.  My application has lasted me since I put it on a couple months ago.  And I don't garage my car...

Just like the bottle says. I believe it said to put a good amount on, let it sit for 5ish minutes, then wipe off the excess with a dry cloth. It may be lasting longer than other applications because I wash my car weekly. Not sure if you guys do that or not...
