Some helpful notes for getting the best finish

On extremely weathered trim, you require two coats of Mr. Black. Apply the second coat one hour after the first coat. Do not use any more flash prep or other surface prep products before you do the second coat.

When applying Mr. Black, just remember - Less is more, only apply a small amount for each subsequent section on the second coat. When you have finished your second coat of Mr. Black, make sure the trims stay dry for at least 12 hours while Mr. Black cures.

If you get Mr. Black on your skin, make sure to wash with soap and water straight after application.

Plastics must be cool to touch and free from dirt, oil, and silicones.

Use Bowden's Own flash Prep to remove any of these oils, silicones, and other waxes already embedded in the trims.

If you're in hot or humid weather, make sure you wipe Mr. Black off sooner (1-2 mins max) to achieve a more even finish.

Try not to saturate the applicator sponge or microfibre. remember, less is always more, so try to spread the product until it won't spread any more before adding more to your sponge or cloth. If you do end up getting an uneven finish, try to use less product and spread it further with your applicator.

If you get Mr. Black on your paint, headlights, or other parts of your 4WD, simply use Bowden's Own Flash Prep to remove it ASAP. If it's been on too long you may need to use the Paint Cleanse and Restore to remove it.
