Time for Spring Cleaning

Has anybody here used any dyes on the bumper, brush bar, and door handles? I am about to try this product ... Forever Black Trim Reconditioning Dye I am tired of having grey everything on a Black Rover.

Thanks

The product that you are asking about looks like it might do the job. In the past I tried a bumper dye (can't remember the name), and after dabbing a little onto my bumper, I could see a disaster about to happen, so I quickly stopped. Up till now, I just coat a good silicon liquid (Black Jack), onto the black trim areas on my vehicle after washing, and have been satisfied with the result, however, it all turns to s**t the minute I go off-road, as the dust sticks to the silicon coating.
If you try this product, let's know what results you get.

I have used this on my 88 Saab 900 Convertible bumpers and it worked very well for me. Remember, this is NOT a temporary conditioner or 5 minute shine, it is a dye that will permanently stay the way you apply it. What it means, you need to clean the area well, apply this and make sure there is no drips, brush marks from the foam applicator, and also, I believe this comes with the conditioner or cleaner with it, so make sure to use it before/after as per the direction. Once it is on, it will show the way you applied it but it willdye everything black.
Another good product that does not attract dust is called "Black Magic". It is a white plastic bottle with yellow cap and content is in cream rather than luquid. I have been using this on hard plastics on RR and works well too.

That stuff ROCKS!... Make sure you do a good job on the cleaning part first... Takes a while to get a car done, but go slow, and then do another coat..
