Ive use the ''Show Room New'' on my back bumper and it looks great. Its a dye not a detailer. My bed rails are covered so they still look good.

thanks alot for all the responses guys, this forum is incredible! I think I'm gonna go with the Forever since it comes with a cleaner. I have 5 years of experiments on my trim / mouldings so Im sure they can use it. I also found this 3 minute demo video.


do you think delicate surface blue masking tape from home depot would work or should i get something else?? You guys that used Show room New - how did you apply it? Wondering if i should follow the "shoe polish applicator" with a towel or something? This is my first time so Im a little nervous.

+2 on the krylon once it drys it is chip resistant. I am in the middle of painting all my black plastic. So far I am very happy.

The blue tape works great it leaves no stickiness behind.

Brad, how long is long? I have some applications of BW that are over 3 months old. Only caveat is that these are on my truck and well....the trim isn't faded.

I will report that BW, still has a great look after 3 months, feels slick and even water beads up on it.

no mention of Meguiar's gold class trim restorer... I recently picked up a bottle of it but haven't used it yet, any thoughts or opinions on it?
