I ended up using I think Turtle Wax "Jet Black". My trim looked terrible and so far so good.

It's only been about a month so far but it has held up good. If it ends up failing, I think I'll give this paint a shot.

It's paint, not going to go to heck that quick! My guess is it may peel or flake eventually if anything but it may take a few years and depend on how well his prep job was.

This will be next move (or maybe lineX) I have wasted sooo much money on all the trim conditioners only to have the bumpers go back to original condition in a week or two.
