Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
Will this product or Black Again work on the SUT tonneau cover?
|
Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
:iagree: Yeah what he said. Has anyone used it on the toneau cover.
Do you need to clean with anything specific prior to application? |
Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
just ordered a bottle, then thought maybe i should have ordered 2. is one bottle good for all the trimming? :twak:

Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
I dont have any of those black parts on my rig, but it looks to me like its just dirty. If all of the texture was faded, i'd try one of those products.. But the raised parts of the texture are black, and the recessed parts are whitish - possibly holding dirt/water stains/wax. Anyone try just scrubbing w/ a stiff bristle brush and some dish soap?

Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
So how's the other stuff holding up?
I found the link for "Black Again" Guess I should have put it in my previous post. Me Bad! http://www.properautocare.com/blacagextrim.html |
Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
I have used black again for past 4 months or so. It doesnt hold up that long. It will wash off after a few rains and washes. It looks great after applied and will last a decent time unless it rains pretty hard. My H2 stays outside 24/7 also. I would bet it would last longer if your garage yours. I my try the Griots stuff next.

Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
I gotta tell you the Griot's Garage stuff still looks just as good as the day I put it on. It has not faded at all. My truck sits outside 24/7 as it no longer fits in the garage (37's+Lift+Roof Rack+ roof mounted spare=8'6") . The only wear it has is on top from me walking all over the bumper when climbing up to the roof rack. This is to be understood though as I am usually walking on it with muddy boots while offoad to get straps out of my roof mounted storage etc....
Just a little touch up will solve the problem. The front bumper looks great. The white chalky stuff you see in the crevases is a compination of sun damage and wax debrise from washing. Even if you scrub your bumper it will still be faded and chalky when you are done. I whiped everything down with paint thinner beforehand to be sure it was 100% clean before I applied the Griots Garage Die. This stuff is legit! Like I said before take your "Back to Black" and thow it in the trash. |
Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
Did you protect the body (painted parts) when you applied this. On my white truck I notice a little yellowing under the black trim. I suspect this could be from using a silcone product to bring the black back.:twak:

Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
It does not stick to paint very well at all. You can wipe it right off of your paint with rubbing alcohol after it dries.

Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
I agree with HumminBoatin, I've used it only once like 3 months ago and its as black as it was the first day as well.... pretty good stuff! Best investment yet.:clapping:

Attachment 51834 Attachment 51832Thanks for posting about this H/B! I just put two coats on my rear bumper and what a difference. I'm doing all the black on my truck! :D Here's a tip.... -- cut the very top of the bottle off and use a sponges style paint brush to apply. It is so much quicker this way! When you're done, just grab a spice jar from the back of the cabinet to store what's left. I bought 3 bottles, and after 2 heavy coats I didn't even use 1/4 of the bottle. ;) Here's some before and after pics... |
Re: H2 Bumpers faded...Here is your answer
Did my bumpers, body trim and door handles over the weekend. This stuff is amazing, but they all look amazing at first. Keeping my fingers crossed for similar results to other here down the road. If this is something that only needed to be done a couple times a year that would be a Godsend.
I didn't do the SUT cover as I'm planning to have that sucker Rhino lined after the hail damage I sustained. |
