Forever Car Care Products FB813 Black Black Top Gel and Foam Applicator

I have a 2013 convertible mustang and this saved my top. It's like a vinyl top. Almost the coverage application was so easy to use. Wasn't messy at all. Really upped the color to a real black now. I loved it

I’m a huge researcher what comes to buying stuff. I purchased a 2013 Mustang Convertible, oh boy, how I love that car, however it looked slightly worn for my taste, including the top, but I was sure there is stuff out there, that can make it better and purchased the car a week ago. So first off - I read some mixed reviews, and wasn’t sure about this product, however after using it myself, I think for the ones it failed, they may have applied it sloppy or done it on direct sunlight. I once asked my friend to help me paint a room, oh boy, never again, he had no clue how to handle a paint roll. Also make sure that the top or the plastic you will apply the dye to it, is completely cool. I don’t have a garage so, I picked a shady spot but one side of the top was hot from the sun and I applied the dye. It evaporated immediately and made it look lighter and then I though about the review, where someone complained that it ruined their top for making it lighter. For a second I felt the same way, but was optimistic because I made the similar mistake with a different restorer on a different piece a day ago. So I waited for the top to cool down, I ended up doing 3 coats and it looks perfect. With this dye, I felt that more was better and that’s why I ended up with 3 coats. I got rid of the streaks in the middle with the 4th half coat. So I just applied in the middle and somewhat rubbed/faded it off to both sides directions and it did the trick. You need gloves, it does get on your hands. Some people complained about the sponge, I found it to be a great tool, no issues. Few spots that I couldn’t reach with the sponge, because it was just so big, I applied some dye on my finger and used that to apply. Some drops fell on my car, if you don’t notice those spots right away to wipe off with a wet towel, let them dry and they will come off with giving a slight scrape with the fingernail perfectly. Also some complain it doesn’t take out lighter spots, I think, if you just do first and perhaps second coats only on those lighter spots for prep, it will cover it nicely, you may need just more coats overall to even it out. It’s the same if you don’t add primer before painting your wall, you end up doing 4-5 coats to for the color shade to look even. Again my top wasn’t in a bad condition at all, I just wanted to look like new and I didn’t like the light seam, so it gave it the darkness and a shine. And I have to say, I think the dye has darkened over few hours. Because initially I wished it to look darker but after curing few hours it really does. Pictures are taken right before and after.

I have a 2012 Mustang. I bought a 2" foam roller to apply the dye. It comes with a larger piece of foam to apply it. I put a little bit of dye on the roller and applied it to the roof. Just roll it like you are painting a wall. I only applied one coat. I still have more than half of the bottle. The pictures that I put on is when it was still wet. It dried beautifully. I highly recommend it. Apply waterproofing after it dries.

One bottle was only enough for 75% of my drop top, have to buy more. Definitely dries quick and shows black, great if drop top really needs help. It does show every streak when dry that is inevitable with any method. Started with the provided sponge but the sponge was soaking up the product and not spreading thoroughly on the drop top. Switched to a soft brush method which did better on spreading product and left less streaks. If you're covering lighter spots it stays light, it does not match the black. It does lose a bit of the opacity when you car wash but not much, washed 2 weeks after application in a touchless wash. Before and after photo shows.

Great product for the cost. Easy to apply and a fantastic end result with no blemishes. Washes out with water. I can't speak about durability as I only just applied it, but I would recommend it to anyone with a Jeep Wrangler soft top or tonneau cover. It took about 1.5 hours not including prep and I took my time. The applicator sponge has a bit of damage but that is only because I was getting into areas next to velcro at the end. It will still work for several more applications. It stretches a long way, I have half a bottle left after doing 2 coats on the windows and 1 coat on the top. I will touch up the top after install when I can see it better. I almost bought something else from the auto store but I am glad I ordered this instead. On a side note, I also ordered Novus 3 part scratch kit for the windows and I recommend that as well.

First off let me say I have seen and heard great things about Forever Black Black top from reputable car detailers. I gave stars off due to the "batch" I received was defective (from a bad batch). I had been restoring a classic Bronco and it's vinyl soft top. I used black top after thoroughly cleaning the top as instructed, I gave it three coats waiting a day in between coats (indoors). The results were awesome, the top looked brand new. After a week of leaving the top set aside to thoroughly cure, I had rolled it up for storage till it was time to put back on the truck. After a few days I unrolled the top to show it off, to find out that there was black powdery dust all over and the top looked horrible, the Black top product has turned to Dusty like substance and came off the top. I contacted Forever Black co., & explained the situation. They asked what the batch number was on the bottle. Turns out they had a "Bad batch" that had made it's way out to the market. They were very apologetic & are now sending me some special detergent to wash the rest off & also sending replacement Black Top from non contaminated batch. They assured me that my top will not be harmed & with the new Black top from the New batch, I should have the results I was looking for. I only lost the man hours already put in & now extra man hours to get the top back to looking new again. We shall see how this detergent & "New Batch" works out...

It’s as it’s advertised. Black dye for your convertible too. My Miata’s leatherette top was pretty faded and in rough condition and the before and after was crazy. And it’s what? So much cheaper than a new top. It’s easy to put on, dries in like 10 minutes. Comes with its own applicator pad. Is overall pretty uniform color with 1.5 coats. I still have like 75% of the bottle left

This worked better than expected. I am very particular about car care and appearance and don't normally leave reviews. The end result was a rejuvenated looking top. I had to apply two coats. Wear gloves when applying. Be careful when applying as there can be streaking. I would buy this again.

I used this product on a Mercedes CLK canvas soft top, which is relatively larger than an average sports car surface area. For porous surfaces you mix 4 parts gel to 1 part water. When applied with the supplied applicator, the solution goes a long way, so much so that I was able to complete 2 coats and still have some spare solution left over. Remarkably economic, and a great result.

I have used this product once, and it gave me excellent results , exactly as advertised. thank you for helping me restore my Z4 Convertable roof.

El producto es excelente y fácil de aplicar. En mi apreciación hubo una mejora de un 60% en la primera aplicación. Un solo bote me rinde para 2 aplicaciones. En un par de semanas le hare una segunda aplicación. Muy buena opción.

Good quality

Great product and fast delivery. Thank you!
