Product Description Forever Black restores a dark, black, finish on sun-faded bumpers and body moldings. This is not a cosmetic dressing. It's an easy-to-use permanent dye. It permanently colors black plastic, rubber and vinyl with the same polymers that the manufacturers use. It is not a silicone dressing - silicone products will make plastic, vinyl and rubber appear to have regained their color but the change is temporary. Plus, silicone oils have been known to dry out the applied areas creating a bigger problem. Silicone also tends to leave a greasy residue even after buffing.

Excellent product! August 14, 2010 bearysoft We bought a 2004 Suzuki Vitara for my son. The car is white w/black trim. We live in FL and the sun is brutal during the summer. The black trim on his car literally was gray. After he got the windows tinted nice & dark the gray bumpers/trim seem to stand out all the more. I researched this product and found numerous reviews across the net praising the results people had with it. One morning my son pulled the car into the garage and w/in a few hours his bumpers looked like they were brand new. One of his buddies at work even asked him if he got new bumpers when he saw him in the parking lot! It's been over a month and they are as black as the day he refurbished them and seem to be holding strong. My son parks in the yard, due to two cars & one garage, and he parks in the bright sun at work as well. I love this stuff and have stored the remaining away just in case we need touch-ups! I highly recommend it and it is very easy to apply! =]
Works OK February 5, 2010 P. Dean (NYC) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Used it on a 94 Roadmaster roof rack. Fairly easy to apply. Dries a bit streaky. Evens out a bit after time. Would recommend but have not tried any other product so I cannot comment if this is better than the rest.
Great product June 24, 2009 P. Livingston (Scottsdale, AZ, U.S.A.) As for the negative review from another user....depending on how faded your trim is, you may need to add multiple coats. I applied three coats to my trim due to the incredible fading that the Arizona sun had caused. This is a wonderful product.
Forever Black For A Long-Lasting Black June 7, 2009 Avid Reviewer (San Jose, CA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The black trimming on my civic was looking a little old and gray from the accumulation of dirt and from weathering. After some prep work and several coats of the Forever Black Bumper & Trim Dye, I was immensely pleased that my trim was returned to its original deep black color.
Multiple Applications
---------------------
Depending on how faded the black is, it could take many applications to achieve the deep black color you desire. Be sure to let each application dry thoroughly before putting on another. Once dried, the application of dye may lighten - don't be disheartened; subsequent applications will progressively yield better results. Once you are satisfied with the restoration, leave the dye to cure for at least 24 hours before subjecting it to the elements.
Prep Work
---------
It is absolutely essential that you THOROUGHLY clean your trim and/or bumper BEFORE you apply the dye on them. The dye permanently adheres only to porous plastic and rubber. To ensure maximum adhesion, be sure to thoroughly clean off any surface dirt and/or any wax residue left by a car wash. Thorough prep work is necessary to ensure you get the maximum penetration of the dye into the material to be dyed black.
Lasting Black
-------------
The Forever Black Dye Kit provides a lasting restoration to a deep black color. It's been well over 2 years since I used the Forever Black Dye Kit (the product page Instant Order Update says "You purchased this item on August 14, 2006" - that's how I know) and my trims are still as jet black as the day they were restored.
Bottom Line
-----------
The Forever Black Bumper & Trim Dye Kit works but it may take some elbow grease in prep work and repeated applications before the desired results are achieved. Once applied, the Forever Black Bumper & Trim Dye Kit should keep your black looking black for years to come.
Looks good until it dries February 16, 2009 Francois 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a 2001 BMW. The trim was still in decent condition but I wanted to renew it and wanted it to look like new, which is what this product claims to do. This apparently was the product to use. I started applying the product and though it looked pretty good at first, until the dye dried. Once dried, I couldn't really tell any difference. It looks exactly like it did before applying "Forever Black". Even after two coats, I can't tell the difference.
