    I have a piece of trim on my wife's Pacifica that has been turned gray by using BH Autobalm on it a few years ago. I was told it was safe on trim and found out the hard way that it ruins it. I have tried numerous products and nothing would restore it. I got my PERL in from Avi and finally got a chance to try it out. I honestly did not hold out a lot of hope. Was I in for a pleasant surprise.
    I applied it with a foam brush and let it sit overnight. It was mixed 1:1 with water. The next morning it was just barely tacky and was it nice and black. I did half of the trim piece to show the difference.

    I then decided to try it out on my tires I had cleaned the day before with Krud Kutter to show Chris (on an L2D post):

    Nice! I have to order some up to use on the interior and tires. I coated the exterior trim with Cquartz so no PERL will be used there.

    Sal, it's been like that for well over a year. I can't remember if I tried that or not. I do know what I did try did not work. Did the 2nd half today and it looks amazing.

    It does look good, I like how versatile the product is. Just curios how it compares to BW on the trim
