Cool Product Review -- Forever Black

My 18 year old 928 has a grayed-out rear wind deflector, and the plastic on the mirror housings was looking quite aged as well. So, I finally got around to using this restorative product this weekend and the results were excellent.

Procedure: I used the included cleaner solution to prepare the surfaces. Then I masked out the plastic on the mirrors and the rear rubber deflector. I dabbed on three coats waiting about 10 minutes between each coat. It dabs on like the old shoe polish applicators, and may, in fact, be a similar product formulation. After it dried, I removed the tape and layered the coated parts with Klasse A-I-O, SG, and then a hard, long wearing carnauba (Griot's paste).

Yummy. The parts look brand new. Wish I had before and after pic's. (Yeah, I need an e-camera, but I still like the old Nikon with the macro lens.)

I'll report back in a month or two on the wearability of the new finish.

Thumbs up Good review...

and good news. I've been considering Forever Black for my bumpers and mud guards (all black plastic). Will probably breakdown and do it now.

One question... how much area should I expect to cover with one container?

Thanks in advance.

Arrow I'd Guestimate ...

... That you could do your bumpers and mudguards just about twice with one package. That's the recommended number of coats. If you can buy it locally, get a spare in case you want / need more.

The key here is to mask the surrounding areas properly. The rest is easy. Enjoy.

Cool It's Been About A Month and ...

The finish on my rear spoiler and side mirror frames has remained black, shiny, and new-looking.

Enjoy.
