Black trim restoration

[rahjah]

I am looking for opinions on restoration products for black exterior trim. I have a new (to me) 2002 Sr5 and would like to spruce up the black plastic trim on the exterior. I work for an auto parts supplier and we stock about six different products. I have use Ultimate black on it and the next day it looked like I didn't do anything. Any and all help is appreciated.

If there really all faded, just spray them with black plastic trim paint and call it a day.
Any of the dressings will simply wear off and put you back to faded plastic over and over again.

I used a good prep spray cleaner,a good coat of adhesion promotor and Dupli-color paint for plastic and after a couple of years still looks as good as the day it was painted.

There are several products out there that will make the black look better.

Mother's products has a item called "Back to Black". It wipes on and stays for a period of time between car washes..

Wizards products has one also (Black Renew), that tends to last longer than the Mother's products.
