Is this worth putting on a newer model car that has not faded but want to put a longer lasting "sheen" pm black exterior trim.

I put it on my 2012 dodge 2500. The bumper has faded back to grey in 9 months

Absolutely! Even trim that has not started to have that 'washed out' faded look can become dull. ReNu does a great job of making it look shiny and new without any greasy residue.

Being that it puts a "shield" on older worn plastic, I'm sure it will greatly delay the u.v. damage and fading. I was really expecting much less when I put it on, I have gone thru snow, hail, serious heat and many soapy hand washes, haven't reapplied yet and it still looks great,

I doubt any chrome spray paint will last very long on exterior parts, the only way would be to spray Krylon crystal clear over top but it might make it dull.

Hi,It faded after being in the sun for sure! Didn't take very long either. It's still on my car after a few years but faded. Still looks decent.

All I could think youd need is the dupli color prep spray or something similar and some primer incase you have bare metal spots where paint has chipped off. Goes on super black after a month or so it fades slightly not too much though

The preperation of the paint is the most important step. Using it on my wife's car, 2005 model, and the car is still in showroom condition. Wax goes on nicely, apply only in one direction, polish it up with a microfiver cloth and use a second one to buff it to a beautiful sheen. Gives great depth to the paintwork and gives that nice wet look. works even better when applied with a polisher, I use an orbital polisher. Waxing is the final step to achieve the wet look finish. Wax doesn't last as long as sealants/polishes. I'm a bit of a detailing nut, so I apply wax every week when washing the car. I've noticed that it is still effective after a month and still gives that nice beading effect in the rain. Another bonus of this product, during normal weekly commuting, especially in the rain, the car seems to stay cleaner for longer as the dirt battles to find grip on the super slippery surface. I've tried various products and am very happy with P21S - finally found the rpoduct that I'll stick with. I also use Autoglym Super Resin Polish as the sealant, Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish as the polish. Don't forget to clay the vehicle at least once every six months to get rid of all the oxidation and garbage that collects on the paintwork. Chemical Guys have some nice products for dark coloured vehicles like yours. Hope the info helped.

I'm sorry, but I don't know... I got the gloss yellow and blue, but I think that matte finish may be a little better. No evidence to back that up since I haven't seen or had the opportunity to have any contact with the matte bumpers, but that is my thoughts on that. Sorry I can't be of more help. :-/

New or old, you'll be fine. This liquid wax is very forgiving... even if you get it on black trim. All you have to do is buff it out with a clean towel. It went on/ off easy and the results are great. It will help if you have a good base.... meaning you've cleaned off all other contaminants. I clayed and polished first and then used the liquid wax.

Absolutely. For the price and how easy to install...well worth it. High gloss black would work great. Plasti-dip maybe even better. Installed on my 2013 SCREW and have alot of compliments and 'where did you get it?'.

It is Jet Black...so, use it only if you are looking to change the tan to black... Also, see my other comment posted. At first this looks great & I was ecstatic at the results. Then after a couple months...I started getting black runs down my paint. My yellow car soon looked like a zebra. Even after a year...I am still getting runs and some of the zebra stripes are so into the paint that after many washes...it did not come out. I regret the few minutes of happiness of making the car look new! The only way I'd use it again is if I was going to sell my car to give it a nice look!

Leo, I put my decal on crooked and my husband was able to straighten it. That being said, my decal has withstood this, as well as, the weather elements and car washes, quite well. Enjoy!!!

Even though I managed to spray paint (white ) using a cheap spray can of paint it is better to scrap the original black paint and apply a coat of appropriate primer and then the required color paint. That way it will be more durable and much more appealing . My van being more than 13 years old I don't want to spend too much on it that is why I just sprayed it without bothering to remove the original paint (black)it came with

I'm not sure how it is different from others 3M products, but I know that I've had it in the wheel wells of my truck for 6 months and it looks great. No chipping or peeling. I didn't like the shiny silver paint on the inside of the rear wheel wells on my new Silverado, and this black undercoating paint solved the problem.

I've had this on my car since November and nothing's faded as yet. Hope this helps.

I used the product on my Dodge 1500 bumpers and molding. It looked better (it never looked new) for a couple of months. 6 months later, it looks like it did before the application. Save your money.

It dries gray. Also if you get it on trim it will dry almost white. It is more tinting than coloring. I have not found the perfect wax for a black car with black trim.

It will enhance the gloss look as well as provide a little of additional protection. When I did my floor I've used the Rust-Oleum Professional kits in gray. After doing two coats of the Pro kit the shine was there but some spots had a little duller look to it. After applying this gloss kit it really brought the look of the floor to a nice consistent shine all around. I'm sure you might have heard before but the key in a long lasting finish is the prep as well as using a decent quality product. Stay away from water based and use solids based stuff. My garage floor was a 30 year old bare concrete slab which came out great in the end. My prep involved a floor buffer with a diamond wheel, then pressure washed it few times as well as concrete etch. Here's a picture of the floor after two coats of Professional kit: http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p501/mbzowski/Garage%20Redo/IMG_5161.jpg Here's a picture of the floor after the Clear Shield: http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p501/mbzowski/Garage%20Redo/IMG_5169.jpg http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p501/mbzowski/Garage%20Redo/IMG_5166.jpg
