Living in the desert, I have had to reapply the back to black pretty frequently. Still works well, been a year now, but I think it might have been easier to paint certain parts rather than dress them so often (exhaust shrouds).

Wax the trim with Klasse All in One followed by the Meguirs Quick Wax. Then you it can be treated like paint and you don't have to add trim shine weekly. This process works great since it made the mirrors, as well as the black window trim and b-pillar vinyl much darker and matte. It looks great and saves me the hassle of having to deal with them weekly. Now I don't have to worry about replacing the trim in these areas since it looks so good. Seriously though... try this process out and you will be truly amazed! I read about it on Autopia and love it. No shiny look, just the deep matte finish I was looking for.

I've been using Black Wow (dumb name, I know) and it's been lasting three to four times as long as back to black. The **** is tight, if you will.
