Anyone ever compared these products? I read about Forever Black on PAC, anyone know which one would be better? The Forever Black comes with a cleaner, and an applicator.

Thanks,
Matt
 
I have tried both. Forever black has some type of dye in it and can be very messy. I would only use Forever black on old and discolored trim and PB's on trim in good condition. If I was going to get just one I would get the PB's.
 
I've never used the Forever Black product, so no comparison. I will point out that PB's TR is recommended for textured trim vs. smooth surface. I don't believe that TR has any cleaning properties. TR has not proved as durable as I had hoped. Other than the short lifespan, the product performs as advertised, making it (IMO) a pretty decent product, but not one of Steve's greatest (of course most his products have the bar raised fairly high :bigups)
 
Well i wanted to use it on my faded cowl cover, and my faded side mirrors. I was just hoping to bring some life back into them, heck, how about mother's Back to Black?
 
Remove the cowl/mirror and paint it semi black. I've read on autopia that some people have given up on trim restoreres(sp?) not that they don't work they just don't last because of the harsh conditions they go through.

Forget about the Mother's Back to Black ...
If your mirrors and cowl are smooth instead of grained you might be able to restore them using AIO or Poorboys Pro Polish. I had a Jimmy with smooth black mirrors and that is what I used to bring them back to life. If they are grained, unless you repaint them, I reccomend the TR.
I haven't really found a product for grained trim that satisfies me 100%.
