About 3 weeks ago I treated half of the black plastic cover on the top of the rear chrome bumper on my ford truck, and so far I'm impressed. I cleaned and degreased it with superclean, wiped it down with a little alcohol, then painted it lightly with the product. After three weeks, the tape line where I did one half of the bumper, was still very clearly visible - one side black, the other side weathered. I did the other side today, then did the whole thing with a second coat. I'm gonna give it a few days before I seal it all up with 303 protectant. My experience with both of these products is limited, but I think this should do the trick. On Mike's dedicated thread about plastic trim - whatever you do, do it regularly with something you like. Well this might be my ticket for what I like. I bought the truck used one year ago, so this is the second time I've addressed the plastic trim, the first time was a failure, using some type of greasy product that attracted dust and dirt, never use that again !
So have you guys used this Forever Black product, or the 303 protectant product ? I find the 303 product to be very interesting, because it doesn't "cure" by air drying. I'm guessing it has some type of chemical property that causes it to chemically bind with whatever it is applied to, more or less, I guess. I need to call those folks again to ask them what is happening "under the covers" that makes this product so (apparently) effective.
