You WILL like my work!
Here's a situation I run into ever so often: Badly faded exterior trim pieces, black or charcoal. In the past I've masked off and painted and charged accordingly. It's kiind of a hassle though. As an alternative was wondering if a product like Black Wow brings nearly the same results and if it will last for some months looking good.

BW been on my exterior trim for 2 mos. with weekly washing and is still nice and black.
 
For those textured pieces yes it's great but for the rest, I'd rather machine polish them

Why - because the results last forever as it molecularly changes the surface

I'm not sure which product you are referring to but Black WOW is ~$25 for a 4oz bottle.



BTW, :welcome to Autopia!



I used some and it does seem to work good on black textured trim.



The problem that I was looking to resolve with it fell through however. That was the gray plastic bumper of a Ford Explorer. The rain is channeled through the waffle pattern on the top portion of the bumper which causes water to drain in lines down the rear bumper. Everything I've used so far, including Black WOW, fades away to leave lines down the bumper.
 
Buff those drainage stain lines off with some #0000 steel wool. It does a great job of exfoliating the dead layers of chalky looking plastic and embedded wax. Use it wet and don't use too much pressure.
