Title: Typical Meguiars!!
Review: Great stuff! See photos and I wish I had taken “before” shots. The black plastic was almost white certainly grey. I applied this stuff 3 days in a row. It’s been two weeks and it still looks great. I used a 1/2” artists brush and slathered it on the door handles and hood latches. It looked like a big dog sneezed on them. The next morning it was all absorbed into the plastic handles. They look like new!I know when you own a Jeep like this you’ll have to keep adding some sort of protection. But if it gets out of hand, this stuff will help you get things back in line.It was easy to apply and, easy to clean up.I highly recommend this product.A month later it looks GREAT! I bought a second container. We used it on my son’s Subaru CrossTrek and it worked terrific!

Title: It worked , and now my Suv bumper looks almost new.
Review: The bumper on my vehicle had sun faded to a dull, faded gray., every time I looked at it, I was annoyed. The rest of my car looked great, but the bumper was so noticeable, just a faded, dull gray that almost looked dirty. I cleaned the bumper well and dried it with a microfiber cloth. I allowed it to dry after wiping it down for approx. 20 minutes. I poured a small amount of the cream on and started rubbing in small circular motions, with my foam applicator. I moved across the bumper, making sure not to miss any spots. There was a significant difference after one coat of the cream, but the product labels stated it might take more than one coat; I used very little of the cream and did three coats, and now have a shining actual black bumper to go with the rest of my vehicle. I could not be happier, and I used very little of the product.

Title: Decent Enough Results… but Not Very Long-Lasting
Review: Since purchasing my car brand new from the dealer in 2008, I’ve routinely used MEGUIAR’S G15812 Plastic Restorer to help maintain its like-new appearance. After each car wash and during the detailing phase, I apply this product to my rear OEM mud guards, window trim, and other black exterior body trim to help restore a nice luster and combat the inevitable sun fade resulting from punishing UV exposure. Usually, it takes AT LEAST a couple coats to achieve the look I desire… but a little drop or two does go a lot further than you might suspect. In other words, don’t get too overzealous when dispensing it or else you’ll just end up unnecessarily wasting excess product.Worth noting, though, is that while this product will bring back some color and shine to very dull, black trim, those results are not going to necessarily blow you away and they also do not tend to hold up very long. As some others reviewers have commented, a reapplication is usually necessary within just a few weeks. Further, this all depends upon the weather conditions in one’s specific living area.I think a lot of this has to do with the material composition of the trim material itself and is not necessarily a failing of this product. Most durable plastics and similar types of trim materials actually have color tinting mixed into their actual physical composition during the manufacturing process. Therefore, once that coloring eventually starts to fade, it’s quite difficult to restore it with a topical product like this plastic restorer because the color fade is actually happening WITHIN the molecular structure of the trim material and not just ON the surface of it. As an example, have you ever happened to come across one of those bright red high-density polyethylene (HDPE) portable gasoline containers (e.g., Midwest, Blitz, Chilton) commonly used by homeowners to fill their lawn equipment that’s subsequently managed to become sun faded to the point of becoming pinkish or even almost white in color from having been routinely stored outdoors? Well, no amount of polish, rubbing compound or other sort of topical treatment will ever be able to restore that container to its original, bright red color. That’s because damage has been done to the red color tinting WITHIN the high-density polyethylene material itself and not just to the exterior surface of the container.When I initially purchased this product, I thought I would be really wowed by the results. Instead, my reaction was just “meh, it’s alright.” In all fairness, I’ve also used Mothers® Back-to-Black® with a nearly identical overall experience.Seriously, with so much improved chemical engineering technology available nowadays, you’d think that it wouldn’t be all that difficult to manufacturer a product that could offer stellar plastic restoration results. It shouldn’t be all that difficult, right?Overall, I’m not completely dissatisfied with this product. It’s done a decent job of maintaining all the parts of my car I mentioned previously, but I do certainly wish that it could offer even better results.If I could find some other product that performed better, I’d have no hesitancy whatsoever about switching. But, for now, I simply choose to keep using this product because it’s relatively inexpensive… and anything is certainly better than having dull trim on my car’s otherwise pristine exterior.Interestingly, when I purchased my most recent bottle of this just a few months ago, I noticed that it now has a yellow sticker affixed to its front stating, “Now Even Longer Lasting!” Hmmm… Meguiar’s must have gotten the message loud and clear.

Review: Eu já uso a grande maioria dos produtos Meguiars desde o meu primeiro carro e o Ultimate Black Detailer é simplesmente sensacional. Utilizo sempre nas partes plásticas e borrachas, deixando um acabamento perfeito com um brilho “glossy” (discreto). O produto rende muito e dura bastante tempo. Excelente qualidade!

Review: Tenía mis dudas antes de comprarlo puestoQue en el mercado actual ahí opciones más económicas que realizan la misma función que es dar brillo, sin embargo me lleve una sorpresa con este restaurador , es increíble si se usa tal cual las instrucciones indicadas da resultados verdaderos , el productos se vuelve uno con el plástico como si se absorbiera sin dejar grasoso el exterior , repele agua y dura varias semanas , en zonas muy decoloradas por el sol se debe ser más generoso con el producto aplicadoEn conclusión si buscas restaurar plásticos grisáceos ya sea en interior o exterior te lo recomiendo sin duda vale cada pesoTambién si buscas proteger de los rayos UV tus plásticos ya sea de motos, autos etc lo eh probado y evita el deterioro de los mismos sin sensación de grasaTiene buen aroma que se percibe mientras se aplica el producto en las zonas

Review: I used this on my faded carbon fiber vinyl wrapped car roof, and it did everything that advertisement claimed, looks fantastic. It was extremely easy to use, wipe on & wiped off easy pizzy. Although, in order to get premium effect a light buffing with a dry micro fiber cloth does the trick. Just as advertised, this product does not streak after it gets wet, and truly lasts after several days of continuous rain, unlike Mothers’ Back to Black which streaks & runs off onto surrounding painted areas immediately after the covered surface gets wet. I will definitely continue use this very effective product.
