[Ciara99]

What is the best product or method of getting the black trim black again? Like on the bumpers and tail light frames etc. Thanks

Depends on how bad they are. On my daughters Xterra, it was almost white on the gray bumpers when we bought it and nothing worked except flexible bumper gray paint. Scrub them down with water and Dawn soap and a bristled brush, let it dry, tape, and shoot. The stuff goes down, covers easily, dries fast, and is very durable. After done, keep your favorite UV protection dressing on it and it will look nice forever. If not too bad, might try a gel tire dressing like the one from Armor All. It works well on tires and made my daughters look a lot better, but still had light gray streaks so I had to repaint. If it is plastic and not rubber, Meguiars makes a Show Glaze wax that may work for you too. If you havent ever tried it on your paint, you are missing out. The stuff is amazing and really shines and protects. Good luck!

Also, Mother's makes a product called Back-to-Black. It works well on stuff that isn't too extreme.

Clean it. Self etch prime it and spray it with rustoleom undercoating rubberized spray. Two coats..looks great.

I used some Adams Super VRT yesterday on my truck. Now......my trim wasn't horribly faded, but I could see it needed some love. My tonneau REALLY needed it........it came out AMAZING, check out the reflection on the tonneau. lol

I had good luck with Forever Black on my previous vehicle, its a Dye so it returns the plastic back to its original color. I used products like Back to Black but found after a couple rain storms the color would be worn off plus they attract dust.

Forever Black™ Bumper & Trim Products, Forever Black trim dye, Forever black tire gel, forever black convertible top dye

Mothers Back to Black is pretty good if it's not incredibly damaged. I have used mothers to maintain my trim on vehicles for awhile, and it cleaned up most of the trim on the truck, but it couldn't clean up my ramboxes. I had to use a bumper paint.

Turtle wax makes a good product, too. Can't remember the name - maybe Trim Restore? I'll have to check once I'm home.
