I was a little too late on this thread, but I had this same problem. A customer sprayed his headlights, rubber window trim, and various other black trim on his oxidized white Honda Van and DIDN'T TAPE OFF ANYTHING!!!!

Me and 3 guys had to magic erase virtually the whole van to get that stuff off. The magic eraser did wonders but needed some serious scrubbing.

Anyways, now that we're caught up...

BUY the GRAY magic erasers, NOT the white ones. The gray ones are much more dense and durable, and tear less frequently. I buy them from Amazon for like $15 for 200 or something.

Are they the same as far as abrasiveness?

They seem the same to me! And i use about 100 every 2-30 mos.

I also use them to clean exterior trim, works well for removing wax resiue and oxidation.
 
I buy 20pks. for around $3+free shipping from China. I've never heard about the black ones till now.
 
E2K,

I've always been weary about getting things from China, but you're saying they are good quality ones though, ha?

And it's GLORIOUS!!!

Super easy to apply.

Do not let the price fool you. It is not as expensive as some say in reviews. A tiny bottle goes a very long way. You only use little drips at a time to cover a large area.

The darkening on Trim and Tires comes out looking very Natural and Black. For me it's Perfect looking. I don't know what others feel. Depending on what types of trim, or what types of tires you use it on, it will range from Matte to Satin in look. The more applications you use the more sheen you can get. Just to test it, I tried applying a third layer, and even one more to see if the product would get even shinier, but really the Product tops out at about 2-3 layers and that's as far as it goes. Like I said though, for me, it's Perfect in what it looks like to me. There is no Fakeness in it's look at all, just natural with a little enhancement.

Based on what you said...I asked for a sample with my last order..used it..loved it! It made the trim on my NEW truck look even better. Therefore..placed another order and bought the bigger bottle. That stuff is great!!
 
That is Awesome chrt396!!! I am happy you achieved results that you like. I've always had at least one problem with every Trim protectant I have used in the past. This one has passed my test with flying colors, and I enjoy looking at it every time I get into my car.

Have a great weekend!

It's pretty darn durable. Not a marketing ploy.

I just let it fade over time. Maybe D101 at full strength may take it completely off. Just a thought.

Guz- I picked up a can of this today with the thought of just having it in the arsenal for when the need arises. But I've been looking for a product to apply to the black plastic up under the wheel wells in my truck. Would this be a good product for that purpose? It's a fairly new vehicle not in need of any "restoring". But the plastic wheel wells are just kind of blah looking. A darkened effect would be nice. Is there any reason you would not use it for this purpose? Thanks

Give it a shot. It should work. I haven't used it in quite sometime but you gave me an idea to use up my can.

Good idea. I've been using tire shine, aerosols and foam and UTTG. They all look good but this Meguiars Ultimate Black should last a lot longer.

May be time for a wheel well plastic dressing test.

FYI this stuff worked very well for the wheel wells. exactly what I was hoping for. Just be sure there's no breeze when applying and I'd advise holding a piece of cardboard or something at the edge of the well when spraying-- just to prevent overspray on paint.

Results were as expected- basically just a darkening effect as with any other rubber/trim dressing, but with more shine. It's almost like spraying clear coat spray paint, thought not as durable, obviously. That said, you aren't gonna wipe this stuff off with a wet rag when you're done-- or even with a stiff bristle brush. It goes on to stay on for awhile.
