so, for somereason, the trim on my car is reallly grey and it wont go black again. when it's wet, it's black, then it dries grey, you can see all these washy marks across it like someone tried to clean the trim with paint stripper or something lol, i dunno what the previous owner did to it but it makes my car look cheap?
anyway i can keep it black? i dunno, would waxin the hell out of my trim help?
bad times

i used some back to black stuff earlier, looks sweet as i'm applying it but after it dries a bit fainter :/
dunno if millions of coats helps
shoe polish? lol does that actually work?

^ That's what I used when mine were really faded, it dyes it back and last a lot longer than the oil type blackeners

or you could go to the extreme of ripping it out and painting it.
