Mother's Back to Black?

Anyone used this stuff? There are a few trim pieces on the bike (black plastic) that are REALLY faded. Whaddya say - good stuff, use use a different product, or just deal with faded plastic?

Seems to work pretty well, lasts a good while as well. Cheap peanut butter also does a good job if you like the smell lol

I was not that impressed with the longevity of it. It's expensive, but go to the Volvo dealer and get their product for trim restoration...lasts about 5x longer and you use less initially, too. Just my .02

I'm serious about the expense...it's about $18-$20 per bottle (appx same size as Mother's) but it comes out cheaper in the long run. Last time I bought some was 2005 and I still have 1/4 bottle left.

1 bottle will probably last longer than I have the bike...lol. There isn't a lot of black plastic on it to begin with.
