I live in Phoenix AZ and the car I bought has faded paint on the hood, top &amp; trunk. Will this product help restore the finish? The car is black

It will help to a point. Faded black cars show oxidation very easily and probably require a multistep process of rubbing compound, polish and wax to restore the finish.

This can be used on black plastics and will not discolor or whiten but leave it cleaner if not a little darker. Most likely better to use something like 303 protectant to refresh and darken bumper plastics.

If applied to a totally clean exterior..and i do mean scrubbed wiped and dried, wipe new does do a good job. The car should remain in the garage and out of the sun for 48 hours. I know the directions say 24 hours, but the sun will ruin the finish if not totally cured. Having used it on 2 cars, I would never use it again. It is unforgiving if a mistake is done. Based on the cost, surface prep and application restrictions, I would buy 12 oz of your favorite exterior treatment and redo the trim as needed.

You need to check with the Seller. I have a convertible and the black has faded to dark grey.

The hood is ok. I have a x5 so the emblem on the back is different and had to special order. I wouldn't recommend this product after time in the sun it turns yellowish

Flat black has a dull finish. But this flat black dries more like gray, so if you're car is a dark black I would avoid this product.

I suggest sanding out the rust first before applying this. I also suggest the filler then this touch up as the filler will smooth out the surface and can be sanded flush with the rest of the area. The is a paint type product to match the color. The one I used is white and it is very white.

if you have sticker residue on car painted area, it may affect the paint. I would test it on a painted area like inside the trunk on the lid or somewhere first. Somewhere hidden that if it affects the paint can be re-hidden and not seen. I doubt it would affect the paint, but better to check on a hidden area first than one out in the open.

What you can do, is get touch up paint of the color of your car. Lightly build up layer after layer till it's above the paint scratch line.Let it cure for a 3 to 4 days. And then use the process with the quick scratch remover. Use the compound and bring it down to level with The paint line. And then buff with the finishing compound. It will probably turn out better than you think. Good luck

Depends. If it is a little light overspray from some careless work, you ought to be able to work it out with this product. I have had excellent success with this myself. If someone has actually sprayed auto paint directly on your car, this is not what you want. You need to sand it down, prime, and repaint. You're screwed.

I used it on my dash about a month ago, it's black vinyl. The shine still looks the same the day I applied it. It doesn't seem like I will have to use it anytime soon. I'll probably do it once a year if that. I don't see it becoming more dull by not repeatedly being used. Of course, not every dash is exactly the same material/quality but I think it will last a while for me.

No because the paint around it is actually faded. From sun, weather, ect. however it will ease the fade, but not totally remove it

Hey man, I actually sprayed a topper for my truck, and my truck is a unique tan, so I took off the gas cap and took it to Home Depot to get a color match and small tub of paint. Not the best place to go I've heard, but it definitely worked, just make sure it is not water-based paint. Also, when spraying it will come out lighter usually, so just make sure to use enough color when you mix the hardener and color. If you don't use enough color then it will be lighter, I noticed that after I sprayed it all on, which isn't too terrible, I think if I wanted to bad enough I could just spray over it and keep the texture. So bottom line, just make sure to use enough color when you mix it, don't overdo it, but better to have more of the exact color because the chance of being too dark is impossible if it's a color match.

Not "restore" in the strictest sense... but it will restore the sheen and protect what condition they are in. It's great on interior vinyl seats and trim.

it all depends on how bad the paint is on your car ; it can be done by hand on a car thats only been neglected to have been washed and waxed for a season or two ; i used a D&A; buffer on my triumph because it was fresh paint ; you should take a small spot on your car and try doing it by hand and see just how hard it is for you to get the paint to come back and shine.

I just tried it on my car. Worked pretty well. Won't make the scratches go away. Just makes them darker. Makes rubber piece look newer. But you knew that. I think you will be pleased with the results.

This product is safe on all colors. Streaking is normal. If u don't have patience you should not be washing or waxing your own vehicle. high streaking is cause by over spray. This is perfectly fine. continue to buff the spot by hand with a cloth/towel (paint safe) and the streaking will go away. Keep in mind if your doing this in the sun it will take more time and patience to remove. My best advice is to wash in direct sunlight pull into a shaded area, and wait for paint to cool down. Lightly mist the spraywax one panel at a time. Use cloth (paint safe) to rub in and spread then use dry side to buff.
