Forever Black Bumper & Trim Kit (NEW Improved Formula & Larger Size)

I’ve used several car blackeners before and although they do work in general, they are nowhere in there as effective as this. At first I was unsure about the value for money but a little does go long way.When applying, the car needs to be clean and then you can apply the blackener solution using the applicator in the box. After application, if not distributed evenly, you can see brush Marks, although this can be blended evenly with a microfibre cloth.These legitimately have made. the bumpers on both my cars look new.

My normal review would be 2 or 3 words be it good or bad, but Forever Black is far better than any other trim restorer I've tried I felt it is worth telling others as it worked brilliantly for me.I purchased this in November 2021 and wanted to wait to see how it lasted before adding this review it's been 6 months now and it all still looks good; the photos don't show how good it really is. Used it on my 2010 Ducato van which had the faded dark grey plastic trim and lots of it ( just take a look at any older Fiat Ducato, Citroën Relay or Peugeot Boxer, to see how much trim was covered with less than one bottle). For ever black changed the faded grey trim to a fantastic looking black, now from a few meters away it looks like I fitted new trim all-round and I say that because the plastic does have some scratches and scuff marks. My trim was all shades of grey including a new nearside bumper which was a faulty replacement that lost it dark grey colour to a dusty pale grey within 2months of fitting it ( got refund for faulty product ) all the rest had damage I did trying to use hot gun to restore it which looked ok for a while but looked worst after a week or so, Forever Black changed it all to black, the black trim looks far better than the original dark grey but remember it's a dye so it will change the colour not just clean or restore it.On the large areas I used a mini paint roller foam type which was much easier and quicker, as my trim was not a tight fit to the van body, I was able to push sheets of printer paper ( it's cheap ) behind most of it made it easier and quicker to apply it dye.Some pointers here are key to a good finish, make sure trim is clean and dry you don't want to go through this and end up with a poor finish, I cleaned all trim twice before using the supplied cleaner I think it was worth it, use foam roller on large areas and I applied two coats, it does dry quickly, if you can't finish it all in one go put roller and brush in a plastic bag and seal it ready for reuse, don't forget to clean the trim before restarting or just clean the amount of trim you can cover in one go, protect the work area floor it will stain.

Does a good job, unfortunately it needs repainted yearly

Easy to apply. Works better than anything else I’ve tried. Lasts longer than other products.

Really impressed with the results after using this on my very bleached wing mirror, it's been a couple of months since I used the product, and still looks 100% better, this is by far the best car trim treatment I've used, (doesnt just wash off) well worth the price.

Hope images help to show how good this stuff is. My transit bumpers were a horrible light grey, pretty faded and blotchy with it too. I cleaned them with the included cleaning agent, then used a normal car sponge to put on the black stuff. Was worried about volume but i managed two coats of both bumpers, and front bumper goes right up to bonnet line so includes most of front - and i still have half a bottle left.This stuff is amazing. I've been messing with cars for over 30 years and never seen something so easy make such a difference. My bumpers look honestly brand new from the horrible mess they were. If you can make out the first picture, look how light grey the front bumper is compared to the black side of van. Now they are black and look fantastic. I did this about 4 weeks ago and no sign of fading or anything.Do be careful not to get it on paintwork. Have a wet rag to hand to wipe quickly as it's harder to clean later but doable. And i used a big sponge, but perhaps get a small sponge like the sort you get for dishes with scourer on back. That would be perfect i reckon. The applicator you get is fine but small fit big areas like mine.I'll be using this forever now. Truly amazing.

Takes a couple of coats but dies make a visible difference to the vans appearance. Small bottle doesn't seem to go very far and works out expensive getting multiple small bottles but if it lasts 3 years I'll be happy

I read reviews of this stuff and decided to give it a go, steering away from the "hot air gun" method and wd40 etc. even those cheap back to black sprays. Neither of these last long, neither make it truly black and the hot air gun method makes the plastic look even worse when the effect fades. This was 8 years ago and i buy this stuff every time I change my vehicle, I always buy a cheap and second hand car/van so often spend a lot of time and pride in making them look their best.This stuff is similar to black printer ink, get it on your fingers and it is tough to wash off!! Its thicker, almost like a hand sanitizer gel, but more liquid than a cream so the sponge applicator it comes with absorbs it and even a few drops can be spread very well.It wipes off of metal bodywork no problem.The applicator brush is like a lollypop, a wooden stick and a sponge on the end.My advice - get a small kitchen sponge, the soft side, and use this for bigger trim areas like bumpers etc etc, but when it comes to angles and edges, use the provided sponge on a stick applicator for those, the applicator will eventually break and the sponge will rip if you use it to cover entire bumpers - especially on something like a van.Don't do this on a really hot sunny day, the stuff dries too quick much like if you were to wash your car on a really hot day and the sun is baking your car, the water dries too quick and leaves water marks leaving you with more work to do.This stuff spreads really thinly so you wont see any streaks or whatever, but on a hot sunny day it could dry too fast and you have to go over it again more evenly.Also - don't do this either after washing your car where water droplets will run down, or on a day where droplets of rain or mist can get on it. It doesnt take long to dry (id say about 30 mins!) but any water that goes on it, the water runs down and then takes some of the inky substance with it so you can see where there was water, like leaving water marks on it.Properly clean off any oils, bug guts, tar etc and dry it nice with a paper towel, then apply this stuff so it absorbs to the surface.results can last up to 2 or 3 years in my experience where you begin to notice then.. perhaps could do with another coat.I managed to do all of the bumpers and trim of a vivaro van with still half a bottle left! So really amazing stuff, really nice deep matt black with only a subtle sheen to it, just makes your car look so much sharper.

gets streaks in it when it rains

I tried many products to refresh some plastic moldings on my pick up truck to get their black colour back. And this is the only stuff that works instantly and stays black. Highly recommend this product

An meinem Fahrzeug sind die Stossfänger leider sehr grau geworden.Das Produkt hat in seiner Beschreibung einiges versprochen, was solls, einfach ausprobieren.Zuerst wie beschrieben mit dem mitgelieferten Reinigungsmittel gründlich waschen, trocknen und danach mit dem mitgelieferten Pad das Mittel auftragen. Lt. Beschreibung soll man es 2 mal auftragen falls der gewünschte Effekt nach dem ersten mal nicht eintritt. Ich habe meine Stossfänger 4 mal damit eingelassen, danach war ich zufrieden. Der Inhalt reicht auf alle fälle nochmal für 4 Auffrischungen, es ist sehr ergiebig.

Action d'entretien . Fait son job. A renouveler aussi souvent que nécessaire.

Buen producto
