I can see the future of this black needing a little treatment to make the color come back from fading, etc.

 

Black Wow is all you need

 

+1 for Black Wow

 

+ infinity

 

STONER "Trim Shine" is a great product to use. You can spray it on and wipe or you can spray it on and leave it, which I now do and it looks great, does not collect dust nor is it greasey. It also covers up any wax that accidently gets on any trim.

 

+1 for Black Wow. Expensive - but worth it.

 

Another +1 for Black Wow. Just make SURE you follow the directions to the letter.

 

heat gun.

 

Another +1 for Black Wow. The price is off-putting to some, but it will last you for years.

 

I'll add a +1 for Black Wow as well. I just got mine last week and applied it yesterday. Very nice results. Earlier in the week I had practiced on a Plymouth Grand Voyager with a sea of black plastic. Between the two vehicles, I've still barely used what is in the bottle - maybe 10% - and I think I was probably going a little too heavy on the van. So while expensive, looks like it will last me a long time.

 

how long does the product last between applications?

 

FlyingZ.
Though some of the products above are great,
I use multiple tire black sprays on the tires and trim
When I wash the car, I spray some on a paper towel and hit the trim.
It wiped out Zymol(car wax that touched the trim)very easily.
Since I wash every 1-2 weeks, I hit the trim often.

 

that no touch tire shine 2 dollars, or arm an elbow grease and armorall

 

I used Nero for months....just got painted arches so now I'll just use Mystique

 

MINI plastic trim treatment.

 

I haven't seen a single Mini with the black trim terribly faded or discolored yet.
However, I've had other cars where this eventually became a problem and I used this and was very happy: http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...rrivals&page=1

 

W/ Black Wow I've washed my car 3 times since applying it, been through 4 thunderstorms/showers and it's holding up, trim still looks nice and dark.

 

x2 on the Black Wow. And it has to be super-black because it's surrounded by Jet Black paint.

 

black wow. nothing else can touch it.

 

I uh........painted mine

 

Black Wow Really isn't that $$, a little goes a long way.

 

"Back to Black" is another good cleaner that gets any stray wax off the plastic.

 

I use 303. use it on my other cars. I also use it on the interior.

 

I've also been using 303 Aerospace Protectant, it had a lot of good reviews.

 

+1

Good product, used it on the trim of my 98 M3. After years of fading, using this made it look like new again.
