Black Wow it Sucks ***! I tried it multiple times using on a little pea sized drop at a time to gradually smooth into my outer plastic bits. It loves to attract dust and god forbid if you get it on your paint. It's such a pain to get off paint. I'm sorry to sound like such a whiner but 303 is so much easier to use. I don't care if I have to re-apply 303 after it rains since it goes on so fast and makes plastic look healthy.

I've been doing some research and reviews of this look good:

But, it's not cheap at all...

I have tried probably 10 or 15 different products and techniques. Most work great only for a few days or until it rains. Then i found a product called Restore Black from Bondo. You get it at WALMART nonetheless. It has lasted for MONTHS and the reviews show it to last approx a year. I wash my car at least twice a week, and it looks just as amazing today as it did the day i put it on. It takes a little time to do, but the results are amazing.
Just an FYI.

Back to Black works great for me and I live in one of the harshest places in the US. (Imperial County, California were the summer temps are constantly around 118 degrees) I do not have a garage so my black plastic saddlebags on my BMW motorcycle and the black fender flairs on my previous Jeep take a tremendous beating. I have used a variety of products but Back to Black lasts the longest, doesn't attract dust, and is easy to apply. It really works well after the 2nd or 3rd time. Nothing else has done as well for me.

Thanks K_H_D....
The number one problem is user technique. People on NAM, especially those newer to the community seem to have forgotten that I developed and tested it within this community before release back in 2007.
If you want a shine on your plastic, Black Wow isn't the product for you as it was designed for a matte finish. Use too much, and you'll get that shiny wet look like tire dressing and it WILL attract dust.
Use it properly...a sesame seed sized drop and let it absorb into the plastic a few days before washing, and you will get a nice dark, matte finish that won't attract dust. Used properly, Black Wow will last for months, and look better than any other product. Understanding how the product works is also key. If you've been using Mothers or Armor All and then use Black Wow, you probably won't have optimal results, because those products can inhibit proper absorption...it needs to be cleaned and prepped using Pre-Wow.
For those that complain about the cost...I've got thousands of users who say they love the fact that after 5 years, they still have more than half a bottle.
For those that complain about it being hard to get off the paint...take a clean microfiber towel and wipe it..it's gone. And no it doesn't hurt the paint if you get it on it.
As the inventor of the product, member of NAM since 2003, and forum sponsor, it amazes me to read stories like this, yet never get a PM or email about problems with the product....instead they just bash it here on the forums.
If you want a permanent result...get it painted. If you want to reapply after every few washes, get Mothers. If Black Wow is too expensive, then get some Peanut Butter...it won't look as good, nor last as long..but for some people...that's good enough.
I learned a long time ago that you can't please everybody, but create a good product, and teach people how to use it, they will love it.....you don't see Mothers or any other company here trying to help their user base.

Got the order, thanks a lot! Just remember to let it soak in for a few days before your wash for best results. Will be glad to pass on any tips if you want. Less is always best with Black Wow...sesame seed to pea sized drops for most cases..nickel sized drops for the skirts...need maybe two drops like that for the whole skirt.
