Exterior black trim...

What do you all use to get the color back on the black trim next to your windows and such? Mine are starting to fade and look like crap a bit.

DO NOT USE MEGUIARS BACK TO BLACK

my personal experience wasnt good.. i used it on my black SE window trim and yea it looked good right after i applied it... however, the next day when it was sunny, it faded white again, whiter than it was before i put the stuff on

I havent found another permanent fix yet, so what i do now is apply my tire wet to it after i wash it

This is a product I never got around to using, but it was suggested from a very reputable Car detailing site called autopia. It's called "Forever Black" and is as far as I can tell a sort of paint made specifically for black car trim. Check it out!

That's correct. Forever Black would be the best bet. But since it's a dye, you have to be careful in application. You might want to consider masking off areas that you don't want the dye to come in contact with.

When I first heard about the stuff, I searched every shop in my city. No one even new what it was. If you find a local shop that does, it's probably a good indicator that there on top of there game when it comes to car stuff. Or maybe it's only available on the interenet.
