I don't think UTTG or Black Wow will restore faded trim as well.

I agree. In severely faded trim it does not darken it nearly enough.
Thanks for posting Nick. I really have wanted to try this out and I think I'll do it after seeing your review.
My only concern is on plastic trim with designs. For example on my truck the bumper and nurf bars have plastic that has a honey comb design cut into it. Applying the product in the groves proves to be a challenge. Any suggestions? I have an idea but it would require more product and no doubt be wasteful when compared to using the foam applicator

Will keep you posted, I do believe that was my bumper.

Did Nick tell you before he started testing on it?

Well no not really, he just asked to sneak out my office door, since he had some items in his hands and my vehicle is parked right at my door I was left to assume he was using mine as a tester car. At least he did the whole bumper, sometimes I go outside and find ONE tire really clean and shiny! Or one door panel is nice and buffed out half way down the middle, you can clearly see where he left the tape line!

I know exactly what you're talking about, my father has a Infiniti G37 and it too features a honey-comb design on the lower air inlets and it can be a PITA to dress. I've found Lake Country's Detail Sticks to work the best.

Hey that only happened four times, the other nine times I cleaned AND dressed BOTH front tires.

Re: Solution Finish - The Solution To Dull, Faded Plastic & Vinyl Trim
Question:
Theoretically speaking, when using something like this, after it has dried and "set in," could it then be Opti-Coated?
Just curious.
Thanks!

I gather it didn't work out for him. I'm surprised because in my experience it is a great product. I've used it countless times on lots of different vehicles with great results. Their Tyre Gel is another great permanent product, which can be used standalone or as a base for any other favourite tyre dressing.
Forever Black can be a little tricky to apply as it has a consistency pretty much like water. I wouldn't just rely on the dispenser on the bottle, you also need a pad to help evenly spread it out and multiple light coats are a must. Also a must is using the cleaner that comes in the kit, prior to applying Forever Black. I've had it on the door protection strips and bumper inserts on my BMW 3 series for about 15 months now and it still looks like the day I applied it.
Because of the water like consistency I'd recommend removing door protection and bumper strips and do the job off the car.
This new product does sounds interesting, but does it last? Every other product I used prior to Forever Black would eventually just wash off. In my opinion you need a dye type product if you want it to be permanent.
Forever Black does seem to get some bum raps from time to time, which I can't help think must be due to "user error".

Please see the post. I assume that it was not properly prepped.IDK . Also assume he did not test product first before applying to a customer vehicle. Anyways was a good laugh on my part-not that it was funny -but shows how ill prepared people are dealing with others property.
