have used forever black forever!!
(many years)

i use it on old exterior vinyl that has faded. just used it last week on my daughters old car. wash and dry the car (her mud flaps had faded and were no longer black- they were kinda silverish), apply it to the parts- let it dry and apply again.

have never used it on a top and it wouldnt be my first choice- i would first make sure that the normal top products dont work...

303, vinylex or raggtopp would be my first try. if the top is still faded after any of those, then the forever black would be a reasonable choice. as with any new product, try a small area first to see if you like the results.

hey, btw, report back !!

I've found it to streak on faded bumpers.

it will if there is any moisture in the vinyl...

several coats will usually do the trick- but just make sure its dry first.
