Review by Jaero : Works superbly even VS rain, so long as you follow the instructions

The instructions are very simple. You must liberally apply it massaging it thoroughly into the surface. Allow it to dry and then thoroughly buff with a clean cloth. I actually used a no scratch scour pad to put it on my abs plastic louver being it was a mildly rough surface. Allowed it to dry, then buffed it with a regular cloth and then followed with a microfiber cloth. 4 days later it rained and the product did NOT come off. The rain beaded up on the louver. So, properly applied rain will not wash it off. When applied it is shiny so it looks like a job done but you must proceed with the buffing process or it will probably wash off or streak and drip at the first rain. Properly applied this does not happen. For larger areas like a louver or a roof it is a chore but if you do it right the first time it is well worth it.

Review by J. Brooks : Works better then advertised...

I've tried every blackening product out there, Black-Magic, Armor All, Meguiar's, and even my own concoction and none work as well as this. Not only that, it lasts about 3-4 weeks outside in the weather, which I find amazing.

Also it seems like the more you use it, the better it looks and the longer it stays black. Plus it has a pleasant smell, which is always nice.

The only complaint I have is that it is a bit runny, which can make applying it a bit hard, but it's still worth every cent.

A must have for anyone with black trim/molding!

Review by S. R. Bell : I must say, I am honestly impressed!

I own a '99 Dodge Ram that I am in the process of fixing up. After being discouraged at the cost of how much it would be to simply replace the assorted plasctic trim on the truck, I started lookinf gor other options.

I happened to stumble across this item at a local Auto Zone. I decided that I would give it a try, since it was only like 5 or 6 dollars. I can honestly say, I really didn;t expect it to do too much. Wow, was I wrong! Immediately after I purchased this product, I went to a local car wash to give a try. When I first started rubbing it in, my dull, tired, gray looking plastic immediately returned to a factory-like, brand-new appearance.

At first I thought this was just a "wet-effect", and that soon after it dried, it would return back to its normal, worn, gray-look.

Two weeks later and it still look like I just put it on yesterday!

I completely recommend this product to anyone looking to restore the plastic on their vehicle to a brand-new look!

Review by Eddie V : This is Just Amazing!!

I've used this for about a year now on my '91 BMW for the INTERIOR (yes, I know this product is advertised for exterior finishes) pieces such as the dashboard and console; I must say it is AMAZING! My console and dashboard needed some "restoring" after it looked dull, felt dry, and was just tired looking. After I used this product and rubbed it in like it says, I have that new car look! It is just an amazing product and I highly recommend it for interior use. I haven't needed to use it for the exterior...yet.

Review by 96 Impal User : Back to Black

The entire Mother's Line of products are fantastic!! This back to black works on EVERYTHING black. Outside trim, tires, inside trim, even brings the car mouldings ( rubber) back to life! The product...FANTASTIC!! The vendor I used to purchase it, ACE HARDEWARE...HORRIBLE!! DO NOT USE THEM. I was charged DOUBLE the listed price, and it took 3 weeks to get it!! DO NOT USE ACE HARDEWARE ONLINE!!!

Review by LI Reviewer : Eh. Not so great

I use it on bumper trim which one of my cars has alot of. The trim looks good for a day or so but that's about it. Also when it rains, it leaves runny looking streaks on the trim which makes it look even worse than it actually is.

Would not recommend, find another product.
