2+ months...probably depending on your climate...California sun will probably kill it sooner then that during this hot summer...

Hawaii is pretty harsh, i'd guess so 2 months tops here. Thinking about getting this for the cowls on my cars as well as the plastic trims on the frontier and cherokee.

I have used this several times lately and not as impressed as prior. First it can streak unless cured properly. Second, it does lose some luster after hard rain. Love the watermelon smell however.

it still outlasts any other trim dressing I've used up to date. And I love it's watermelon scent as well!

Try washing after applying, no streaks after wash. Been on my side mirror trim and wind sheild wiper cowl for 3 months and just starting to show a few light spots. Like supercharged said, "it still outlasts any other trim dressing I've used up to date" end quote. Amen to that.

I have used BW a few times and had great results...its all in the prep of the plastic....I wash it with APC or even prep sol to get everything clean of prior products..then I wash the plastic with soap and a magic eraser..to get any oxidized plastic off...then I apply BW and let it soak in.....I do another coat abot a hour later....then I wipe off with a damp MF.....I wash the car after..THEN I lock the BW in with another trim product..sorta like a clear coat on paint...I use the DG 201 over it...its a polymer type vinyl product....

I did a Ford with the famed Ford fade...I did it in either Oct Nov...I see it every day at work..and the trim is still nice and black...I told him to hit it again with DG 201 soon....

you need to get the micro pores clean so the BW can really sink in...and than lock the BWin..let the other product take the hit

Al, I read this some time back that you posted. I had it on for a few weeks at the time and was too lazy to top it with DG 201, but I will do it next time around. Thanks for the tip.

From what I'm seeing/hearing, this is the only product that works well enough for Ford trim, I don't know what the heck Ford uses in their trim but it rejects basically every product.
