How to get vinyl back to black

[tweeder]

I tried the mothers back to black and it was so so. Not sure it will last. My black trim pieces are marbeling from all the wet weather. It looks crappy. What are y'all using to keep but mostly bring back the black on non painted parts?

Just throwing this out, I had a truck with black plastic molding around the wheel openings and the bumpers, The sun would turn them grey, So [caveman style] i took a rag wet with kerosene, and sprayed black paint on the rag then i just rubbed it on like stain, Believe it or not away went the gray.:thumbup:
But this might be too caveman to do on a Spyder. :yikes:

Used SC1 Clear Coat made by Maxima Racing Lubricants on the lower black of Queen B's '09 GS. Does a wonderful job of restoring the black to the black. One caveat, this is a silicon based product, so if you want to attach anything with adhesive, do it before you use the SC1. I found out the hard way. Used the stuff then a few weeks later was going to add some LEDs. The tape would not stick. Took heavy scrubbing before the adhesive would work.

That aside, SC1 does a remarkable job of restoring the faded black.

I use Goo Gone® Spray Gel Stain Remover to clean plastic than go over the plastic with a heat gun.

I won't use armorall products. I had a '74 Capri and used armorall on the interior. Over time, it dried out the pleather and it began to crack. Dale

Oh thanks, didn't see that. I tried to buy a trial size and it said to the continental states only.

Vinyl dye. I have never found any of the "black restoring" products to last much longer than a week or so...
