Default Back in the Black - Easy Fender Bumper Upkeep

I found this product today at Pep Boys. It's a 3M product under a Bondo label. You will find it in the body repair/paint isle not the car cleaner isle. It is a really great product and easy to apply. My fender and rear bumper look 100% better now. Sorry the pictures are not that great.

Here'a all you will need:

Restore Black Bondo - comes will the product and a sponge applicator $9.99

Some Gloves

An old rag and some q-tips if you get to detailing -



Look at the difference between the treated hood latch and untreated








Work in the seems with the rag



Works great on the running broads too



The pictures sucks but this stuff really works great and is easy to apply

I have used Back to Black before and it's good but I can tell you this is a better product for black. Mothers can be used on any color. This is just for black and dries with no film.

Looks great. Let us know how it holds up and how often you have to re-apply. The stuff I have been using by Mcguire's only last 1-2 washes.

I found a product called black wow. It comes in a small bottle and you apply it with a foam pad. That stuff really works well!! I found it online at properautocare dot com.

I bought some of this product and never used it on my Avalanche because shortly after I bought it someone on chevyavalanchefanclub.com found a better product. This is what I and 100's of other Avalanche owners used on our fading plastics and it lasts a really long time.

I am curious as to how long this is going to last.
