A dab the size of a grain of rice will do a whole door handle and surround.

39.99 is a dang good price for two.

I brought mine when justin had it on sale.. That's the only way i could justify that small bottle at the time, but a little does go a long way!

I had the same issue and I just tried Meguires Hot tire shine and it worked beautifully. Was the spray bottle not foam. Try that before spending 30 bucks?

I had to reread your post, thought it just said you use only on your bed cover...if you don't see it run in the rain you may be the only person that hasn't had it run on them.

After using some of the other products mentioned above, I tried Black Wow. Really good stuff and lasts longer than most. I think it was worth the money.

One thing though; you mentioned your step pads in your first message. Don't use Black Wow on anything you step on or grab. Take it from a guy with two bad knees! It's super-slick.

Does Forever Black run in the rain, also?

no problem. but yeah, seriously, i've never had it run. in fact, last weekend when i used it on sunday, it poured rain on monday and it didn't run. i mean, i am putting on a super thin coat though.

Use it on the passenger side for a good laugh. Kidding. Sort of. Girlfriend never thought it was funny.

That is strange, I use it on my 5th wheel slides and it rained on the last trip and you could see the runs when the rain dried. Maybe you just apply it properly. It works wonders for my Line-X...good stuff for that.

A few more facts....

Black Wow works best on a clean surface. I tried alcohol and a few vinyl and rubber cleaners first with marginal results.

You may need some Meguiars #39 Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner. It's the best at what it does.

Also it may take 2 or 3 applications over a period of time to see the best results.

Good Luck.
