Default Back to black

I've seen a commercial for a product called "wipe new" that is supposed to restore plastics to original color (fenders) and last for years. Pretty skeptical, but has anyone tried it?

I'd be interested in trying this. I use 'Forever Black', it's black dye that OE plastics use. Apply 2-3 times a yr. Best stuff I've found so far

I've been using 303 but it doesn't seem to last very long.

I just bought some Back to Black Tire Shine by Mothers. It works pretty good but I don't know how long it will last.

Look up a product called Forever Black.


The mothers "back to black" is just clear silicone crap that fades.

Forever Black actually has black dye in it, and makes the plasticmlook new again. I have been using it on my 2009 for 2 years and only apply it once every 6-8 months. My plasticmdoesnt fade either, I just do it to keep it looking new.

I'm going to have to get some of that Forever Black to see how it works.

I have not idea how it works, but for the price, it is a like a 3.5oz bottle, and that is the double size that you get when they say they double the size!

My dad ordered some to use on his Avalanche, and called them, asking for the second bottle, and he was told what they sent was a double size bottle.
No idea how it works, not sure that he has used it yet
