After 3 years of development and long term testing, our black plastic trim restorer is here! Super long lasting and made for our harsh Aussie climate, Mr Black is an all Australian made and developed world class competitor.

For rejuvenating sun damaged, unpainted exterior textured plastics to a rich, dark finish.
Ideal for bumpers, side & window trims, side mirrors, mud flaps, roof rails, running boards, door handles, plastic wiper arms and more.
Restores a natural mid sheen finish, that's not greasy or oily.
Lasts for up to a year on most hard ABS plastic, textured trims, longevity is dependant on the plastic type and quality of it.
Silicone free, so it won't wash off or attract dust once dried and cured.
Uses concentrated, specialist plastic dyes - a little product goes a LONG way.
This is not a dressing, or a paint, so it doesn't just sit on the surface, it bonds into the plastic to help it last longer.
Excess wipes off easily from paint, headlights, chrome, alloy, mirrors and glass.
Tested and developed in Australia's harsh UV environment, so it works.
Proudly all Aussie made too.

Using Mr Black - restoring sun faded, black plastic trim

Mr Black, a silicone free, black plastic trim restorer.

Can Am Spyder

By: Terry on 10 June 2023
As with a lot of the other reviewers I have tried other big brand name products that are supposed to rejuvenate faded exposed plastics but have never really cut the mustard. I applied Mr Black as per instructions to the faded plastics on my Can Am Spyder…..wow…what a difference. Finally a product that lives up to the claims. Thank you Bowdens for developing such a great product. As with all Bowdens auto products….they just work….and Aussie made.

Great product. LESS IS MORE.

I bought this to restore some trim between windscreen and engine bay. I removed the trim to do it properly. I misread the instructions and the emphasis on *less is more* HEED THESE WORDS. I thought I would be clever and apply using a quality flat paint brush because the foam brush was too wide for some sections. The finish didn't look quite right and although smooth, it didn't dry properly overnight. I was able to remove it with a cloth and turps (fairly easily - it just came off like a skin because of how I applied it), I washed using dish soap, dried, then prep-coat, dried. Re-applied using a sponge brush without the stick and spread thinly to the surface and it looks just like I hoped. Much more natural looking than the first application. I did try the foam brush but found it easier to get a smooth consistent finish using it as a sponge without the stick. Apply drop by drop to the sponge until it spreads the colour to your satisfaction. I can see how the finish could be disappointing if not done the right way. Hope this helps!

the Magic Mr Black

By: Dez on 11 July 2022
I have tried all kinds of "big name" products that cost a mint to put some decent colour back in to black plastic that has been turning grey from UV for years. I'm glad to say I finally found something that actually does what the advertising blub says. And , does it extremely well.used it on the mirrors, mud flaps , and the best bit, is the faded plastic under the windscreen wipers between the windscreen and Bonnet. Looks an absolute treat and when left over night the Mr Black sets like a rock. Love it❤️

Great Product

By: Mark on 16 March 2022
I used Mr Black after a recommendation and so impressed by the results. It was easy to apply instructions easy to follow. I am a fan of this product will use it on all my cars from now on. Thanks for a great result.

Beyond impressed

By: Claire on 5 January 2021
Wow! I am beyond impressed by the Mr Black product. I've never used anything like this on a car before but the application was incredibly easy, instructions well written and simple to follow. The results are far better than expected, parts on my Colorado had faded to grey and had tiger stripes, was expecting to do 2 coats but not required! 100% would recommend.

Absolutely amazing product! Best money I've spent

By: Glass 4 Classics on 16 November 2020
Bought this a few weeks ago to freshen up the bumper and mirrors on my Hilux. It was VERY easy to use and for the whole bumper, mirrors and other small sections probably used only 5% of the whole kit. So it will be able to be used for plenty of other vehicles moving forward. I had "tiger striping" noticeably visible on my bumper from years of sitting out in the sun and it even managed to make that disappear. Money well spent! Another awesome Bowden's product.

SUPURB PRODUCT

By: Gary Threlfall on 10 October 2020
First time user,I put MR BLACK on the plastic and rubber trims on my 2001 FORD F/250 and could not believe my eyes it was without doubt the best product I have ever used on the trims thank you very much BOWDENS for this magnificent product

Like New

By: Mark on 5 October 2020
I used Mr Black on a 2010 Nissan Navara. It came up a treat on all exterior black surfaces - steps, mud guards, windscreen surround, mirrors, window surrounds, rear and front bumper. Looks terrific and got a lot of interest by locals. Highly recommended and enough left to do again several times.

So worth the wait!

I have a Wrangler, say no more.... No matter how good the paint if the trim on these things is not up to scratch it's like wearing runners with a dinner suit. Mistreatment by the car dealer had the trim in substandard condition especially the rear bumper. A couple of years ago Dan said to me something is coming....so I waited. Wow! Better than new. Repaired some severe inconsistencies in colour, beads like a champion and she now looks better than the day I bought her.

OG black trim restorer

By: Lee Huynh on 24 April 2020
Bought this for my FG XR6T, its ten years old now and the black trims could use a freshen up. This stuff worked a charm. Not comically glossy but like fresh new plastic. Easy to use, the Black Box will do a ton of cars. Barely used any (Including the flash prep) for the entire vehicle. Less is more with this stuff so be patient
