kerph32 - I have used Forever Black Bumper & Trim (cleaner and reconditioner) quite successfully on my car. First, I applied the cleaner solution, then the dye (when dry). It does fade out, but if you apply it 3 times in three consequitive weeks (after car wash) - seems to stick pretty good and has a uniform rich black tone, which blends well with my black paint. Works on side striping as well (cleans out white wax residue too - although more than 2 applications are necessary). I paid about 8$ + SH at some online Yahoo store.
