    Is "Forever Black" any good?

    Hi, did anyone here ever tried this product?
    Is it as good as advertised?

    Hello?!



    It's suposed to turn some plastics, from faded sun-burnt grey to shiny black again.

    Any thoughts?

    I haven't had experience with Forever Black, but I notice it uses dyes. I have used simple black leather dye, the kind for shoes in the same plastic bottle as shoe polish, and I've been quite pleased with the results, for much less $$. Try shoe leather dye first, you will be impressed.

    I have used the product and was quite happy with it. You may need several applications to get the color desired. You may want to try the leather dye as a more cost effective alternative.

    I used a similar product called Back to Black, from Mothers I think. When I redid my interior I used it to tie all the old and new together into one look and it was very nice. It never dawned on me that maybe it's just black leather dye...that's interesting and I gotta try that. I never did get my crappy greyish interior door handles to come back to black completely. Thanks for the tip buddy!

    The Back to Black stuff is not a dye and wears off like Armor All after a while.
