H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
 
I have searched and searched for the best product to bring black back to my bumper. And the FNG Codered pointed me in the right direction. I thought I would show it off a bit. Take your Mothers Back to Black and thow it in the trash. This stuff is a die and is permanent.

Yup one bottle did it all. I still have plenty left over. I am thinking of doing the tires too. Not sure If I have enough to do them but I will probubly start that process next week after I get back from Kinzalow's.

That will be an all day process to do the those big ole tires of yours. On a side note, my tailight gaurds came in. They helped the look of the H2 a ton!

I have been using Griots Garage products for many years. All very good. I have some of this but havent used it on the Hummer.

I did just order their 'Rubber Prep' to strip any old leftover goo from the bumpers before I use this.

I currently use their Vinyl and Rubber Dressing on the bumpers. It has a UV protectant to help prevent the fading.

Let us know how the durability is. I have tried many products too. Most seem to wear off pretty quick or streak in the rain. I have heard good things about "back to black" and am going to give that a try. I just got it and applied it to my door handle buckets and black plastic on the mirrors. I want to give that a test before I do the bumpers. So far it looks great. It has removed the chalky white residue. ( or has it just masked it ?) I want to give it a few rains and washes to check how it works out.

looks great, but they all do JUST AFTER you applie it.

but wait 3 months to see if it will stay

how is it holding up??? after a week. Back to black comes off after you wash it a few times I have noticed

I've tried this before, but I'll stick with "Black Again" I have my H2 washed 3 to 4 times a week. Black Again is the ONLY product I've even found to stand up to the commercial car washes.

I use it on the tires on the Porsches, but it would take too much to do the Hummer. I just let the car wash use their stuff !

Lets keep this thread going with some periodic updates, hopefully with the feed back we can narrow down what product works the best. Seems there are a few different products being talked about. I'll report back on "Black Again" after some rain and a few washes. My H2 stays outside 24/7, so that in itself is a good test.
