Carplan back to black..useless
Either i'm not doing the job properly or its actually shite stuff! leaves lined marks on black trim and can still see fade.. Seem to get better results from autoglym bumper care.

Try Black wow, pricey for a small bottle but excellent stuff.
AG stuff is ok for the price too.

I use pitch black from £ land, spray on, leave for about a minute, dry off with a cloth. Gets rid of polish marks on black trim  and makes them look tidy

If the trim is badly faded then back to black may only make it look slightly better.
Tried it on mine and looks a little better but they are faded enough that they need to be sprayed really.

it is only a cheap product, used it before and wasnt impressed, but was worth a punt at £1
as said, once they become very faded either a respray or heat gun will bring them back properly.

yeah autoglym is much better, i also used this marine stuff for sealing the bottom of boats.. brings your bumpstrips up real black and keeps them like that for a few months.

Use some APC and a brush on your plastics before using the blackening products, this will give you a nice clean base to work of and will remove the excess polish
