Haven't tried Black Wow yet but seems other Ford owners who have found it to be the only thing to work, I've been using AA Gel and it would work actually pretty well.

If you get streaks, spray water on it and use a MF to buff out.

Proper prep is the key to make BW work best....
I wipe the area with prep sol to remove any previous product residue ....then I wash the area with a APC and a Magik Eraser sponge to get any oxidized plastic coating off....then I wipe down with just a clean cloth and water to get any APC residue off....
then I apply BW and let it sit a bit..then go back and do it again..wait 10 minutes and wipe down with a damp towel....then I top it with another trim product to lock BW in..sorta like a clear coat on paint...I use DG 201 since its a polymer type product and not just a silicone oil product...and this process work great....Ford trim stayed black like new all winter....
