Default Forever Black = good stuff

Finally got off my butt and gave the flares the "Forever Black" treatment. I have to say it works way better than I had hoped.

Here's before -



...and after 2 applications -

yeah I've got some similar stuff; works wonders and doesn't come off after applied. Looks good, one suggestion though, put some painters tape down or something, you got that ***** all over the body...

yep i agree my drivers side front was about that color and the rest were faded half as bad. Now all my fenders look like that. I even did the handles bc my flares looked so much better. I 've only had it on for a month but so far no fading at all.

Actually looking back you and i both need to update our avatar pics bc they still show the grey lol

I'm gonna have to do my end caps now. They didn't look too bad until I did the flares.

Not only that but I've got lift and bigger tires now. I'll have to remember to snap a pic next time I load the yaks up.

I have 2 bottles I bought for a zj and sold it before I used the bottles. Would make somebody a deal in them. But I used their convertible top stuff on my fox and it made the top look new.

Does this forever black stuff wash off in wet conditions?? Does it attract dust like armorall?? Is it a permanent treatment?? Does it leave an oily residue or does it dry completely?

Took it to the carwash Wed.
Hit it with the high pressure soap and scrubbed with the foaming brush.
No black came off the flares.

could you get this at a Autozone or NAPA auto parts or something? My flares are so faded and have a gray and silverish marble color. How much is it and how much do you think I would need for all of my flares, and maybe my endcaps and handles?
