Re: Faded Bumper Plastics..
Forever Black is another product. Lots of places carry it like AutoBarn, Amazon, etc.

Re: Faded Bumper Plastics..
I tried Mother's Back to Black product and it sucked.
I've never said that about any other Mother's product and I use a lot of them (billet, clay bar, wax, ect).
Do a search on here, one remedy is peanut oil but I've yet to try that. The official factory response is to use a product called Armardillo (sp?) with a one time appplication allowed under warranty. Still sucks that a 60K+ vehicle has trim fade issues this soon into it's product life.

Re: Faded Bumper Plastics..
I haven't noticed the trim fading as much as it did on the BMW's I once drove. They faded almost immediately. I think the trim on the H2 is pretty good in comparison.

Re: Faded Bumper Plastics..
I use mother's back to black, it works great. Seems like it will wash off after a wash or two though. But it does make the plastic look like new and it just wipes on. Very easy to use.

 I didn't put it on heavy the first time I used it so after a few drive through washes and it was back to crap. This time I used it I used a whole bottle and just soaked the crap out of anything black and let it sit for about 15 mins, then I took a shop rag and rubbed it in real good leaving a pretty soaked/wet finish. It has been gloss black for a month now, even after a few washes and rains!

Re: Faded Bumper Plastics..
The dealerships use armordillo for warranty fading. I had the dealer apply the amordillo on my truck and it didnt last for 2 or 3 washes but rather 3 or 4 months. Since then ive bought it online and it works like a dream. Ive used back to black and it pales in comparison to the armordillo.
