Re: Making black plastic darker

First off, thanks to Tyler for the info on BlackWOW.

Secondly, my main concern with any type of dye (mentioned above) is that the surface won't come out even after the dye has dried. Maybe there is some fool proof way to apply it, but I'm a little wary of it. Also, can you reverse the effects of a dye if it looks bad?

Might have to look at BlackWOW, but it seems to only last a couple months...which my Endurance Tire Gel does. Still on the fence about it.

FWIW: I don't know if Endurance runs when it rains when used on trim, but BlackWOW does not. Once you let it sit even for just a couple of days and wipe off the excess (probably the best way to do it. I'm going to do it this way the next time around), you're good to go streak and run free.

Tyler, no problems with BW as of yet? I think it's silicone based but seen some good stuff from it. My Neon can benefit from using it I think. ASD seems to work but not last long.

How's your Neon Tranny (Hijack warning!!!)

I have heard nothing but great things for Black WOW... They say you only need a sesame seed size or less then a pea size dot of the BW on a foam applicator pad and your good to go for say window trim or what ever u might be doing. I just got a bottle last week and can't wait until we get 3 or 4 days straight of warm dry weather so I can use it as well as a few other goodies I picked up over winter...

I use Supreme Shine or Mothers Back to Black!

Re: Making black plastic darker

Is supreme shine for both exterior and interior, or is it for mostly interiors?

Re: Making black plastic darker

Its going to be mostly interior.

It will work fine on exterior, just not as much durability.

Re: Making black plastic darker

Yeah Supreme is for interiors.

Use GC Trim Detailer

A good product that works great for both inside and outside your vechile is M40 Vinyl/Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner.

Re: Making black plastic darker

Great, thanks for clearing that up. I liked the look on the golf cart, but I wondered about what the durability would be on the outside.

Looks like GC Trim Detailer for me!

None. Best bet it to clean the trim, apply BW, and let it sit on there for a few days before you wipe the excess off. I tried applying it just before washing and most of it washed off. Just a pain if you get it on the paint, needs some QD and a MF towel and a bit of rubbing.

Pump already went out. Was down for a month and had to drop the transmission twice to get it to work right. Not fun dropping the tranny on these cars, especially 15 minutes after you just reinstalled it and everything else.
