    What's the best for black sedan mouldings?

    First, I am sorry if this is already discussed numerous times. I washed and waxed my new to me ZHP yesterday. I really want to turn the mouldings black again. I can tell the previous owner used something but didnt take his time. So there are black and grey streak looking areas everywhere. What do you guys think is the best? I dont mind having to apply occasionally. I wash and detail my cars often. Thanks!

    Forever black....black wow ...there's a few.

    I have had the best luck with Meguiar's dash and trim restorer.

    +1. Good suggestions above. A little pricey, but better than buying new trim, IMO.

    I recently used the Mother's Back to Black. It worked great, but from what I understand, some of the other products last longer. I'll continue to use it through the bottle and make a decision to change from there.

    Agree. This is what I had....till I used it up...and found the Meguiar's stuff.

    I've tried soooo many of these products, dating back to my E30 with miles of black trim that was in bad shape. I've never used a product as amazing on black trim as Black Wow. It's awesome.

    you can use either pre wow which I found to be less glossy than the black wow.

    Pre Wow and Black Wow
