Back to Black vs Forever Black

I think Sparkie's pictures says it all.

The window "sweep" rubber trim on right and left door windows on my car is a little faded but nothing like the fenders on that jeep-any suggestions?

Here is what I came up with for Joe.p

I done a dual test, driver side bed trim applied products let dry and buff with terry cloth. Passenger side, applied and let dry, but did not buff with terry cloth. The side I didn’t buff with terry cloth, run in the rain. The test started on 1/21/07. Using a foam pad and using as little products as possible I laid it down with over lapping strokes. The truck went threw two rains and one snow and ice, and two washers.

DuraGloss#201, this products was made for the inside of you car. But I found it will last on outside trim. Very little run in the rain. Last about 2 weeks. Rating 3 stars

303, it was neck n neck with #201 and Fk1. Now it has the highest spf. Last about 2 weeks. 3.5 stars

FK1, about the same as #201 and 303. Very little run in the rain. Last about 2 weeks.

Black Again, lasted the longest of all. Very little run in the rain. Last about 3 weeks. 4.5 stars

Back to Black, lasted a day or two longer then #201, 303 and FK1. Last about 2 weeks. Dust loves this stuff. Runs in the rain bad. 1 star

PoorBoys Trim Restorer, works great on black trim, but you can forget it on rubber IMO. Last about 2.5 weeks.4 stars

Adam's VRT, gone the first rain. 1 star

Meg#40, same as above, gone the first rain. 1 star

Stoner Trim Shine, also gone the first rain. 1 star

This was done on a 2005 F-150, with black trim. All products look about the same on trim. Back to Black had a blue tent to it. I think the key is to buff after it dries with a terry cloth. Just keep in mine that all car plastics may be different, and the products and you may have a different outcome. The winner is Black Again. Thanks for looking!
