I used Eagle 1 Black Trim Restorer last weekend and was not impressed by the running of the stuff after sitting outside in one night and it didn't really clean any of the trim.
What does everyone else use?

Almost all of the silicone based products will wash away in fairly short order, kind of like what a tire dressing does. Some last a bit longer than others, but they're all relatively short-lived.
For a more permanent solution, and at a greater expense $$$, you can use what the dealerships use to retore trim;

I was sent some a few years back and it flat out works. The price is tough to swallow though unless you're doing all your family vehicles and you want to do it once and be done with it.
The next best thing, and easier to obtain, is Forever Black;

It's more of a pigmented rubber /vinyl dye, and should far outlast the silicone based products like Mother's Back to Black , and Armor All, 303 etc. for that reason.
I have used that also, but I've found it can streak on some rubber parts. Does last a while though. Hope this helps.
