Try Forever Black. It is also a dye and worked wonders on an old faded running board.

I pulled the trigger on Black-Wow and got it in the mail yesterday. I spent the afternoon going all the exterior black plastic on my FX4. Results were great - let's see how long it lasts. Typical results are pictured below:

I used Black Wow this past weekend at my dads house for the first time ever after reading all the hype and discovered one thing. Black Wow is not the full name of the product as it wont fit on the bottle. The proper name is Black...WOW, I can't believe I just put this crap on my truck!

Does not hold a candle to Mother's Back to Black or Protectant.

Did you follow the directions? Most people put it on too thick and don't rub it in enough.

Yes I did - that's one reason it took me all afternoon lol. The handle pictured used one pea sized drop of liquid on the foam applicator pad that was rubbed in for at least 10 minutes. I'm hoping all the time I spent on this yields some longetivity as the intial results look promising.

Looks good, but that Adam's stuff looks even better. I gotta put together an order one day and that'll be in there to try. There is like 3 or so venders on this section alone that you can buy from, one is the actual Adam's rep! Also, there is a video of him applying it and how easy it is.

My comment was directed to Galaxy. For the life of me, I can't see how he thinks Back to Black does a better job than Black Wow.

Yeah, you want the Adams VRT.

I use it on dirtbikes and other offroad vehicles with black plastics as well.

Ah. I also see your quandry. FWIW, then handle in my "before" picture already has a quick coat of "Back To Black" I hit it with two weeks before the "before" pic I posed was taken
