My experience is similar.

I had purchased and used this product a few years ago. Total disappointment. I threw it in the garbage.

It is one of the worst products I've tried as well. I'm surprised to see that it's still on the market. Oh well. Ultima UTTG is my protection of choice now.

Rain the downfall of PB-TR

BTW, I have also used Back to Black numerous times and could never get good results with it. It was too runny and always turned out blotchy, no matter how I applied it.

Was gonna throw mine away as well. But I use it on the lawn mower instead.

I have a shelf full of trim restore products and at one time or another I believe I have used just about every product that’s ever been made, most of them with very mixed results. In the trim restore product line almost all of them are a some type of greasy, oily product that sits on the surface, attracts dust and does not last.

Below is Just My Humble Opinion...
I recently tried Dry Shine - Black Trim Restorer and I'm happy with the results. It took 5-10 minutes to prepare and apply to the entire rear bumper pad. My gray bumper trim is now dark black (it's water based and contains a black dye). It is hard, dry, not greasy and it has a nice dark deep shine to it. Now if it lives up the claim "LASTS for months...even years!", rather than weeks (or less) like other products I have tried, I’ll be a very happy camper.

So far it's been on over a month and my bumper still looks exactly the same as the pics below.

If you want a cheap/WOWO/in 2 minutes then this is not for you. It takes a bit longer to apply.

If you want something hard, makes trim black, is dry & lasts then you may wish to check it out.
BTW - I like the Dry Shine - Tire Treatment stuff too. Again this is JMHO-Your results may vary.

I used the Back to Black again today. I noticed that it does actually work. You just have to put quite a bit on. When I read the instructions on the back...it says to apply liberally. Maybe that's what I was doing wrong.

I'll use it up...but I won't be buying anymore of this stuff. I'm gonna try the UTTG, possibly the Black Wow, and maybe something on the cheaper side to use on the bulk of my vehicles. Cause honestly, most customers really don't care about how long their plastic, and trim is shiny. But for my Gold, and Platinum packages...I'll use the good stuff (If I can find it!).

Thanks guys!
