Forever Black bedliner restoring gel?

A couple of years ago I bought a bottle of a product called Renuit. It was a black, liquid product designed to renew your spray in bed liners, and other black plastics. It worked great.

It seems that product has been discontinued, and most of my searches bring up Forever Black products (liquids, gels, etc).

Anyone used it?

Thanks in advance,
TX

Mothers makes something called back to black. I am not sure if you can use it on the spray in bed liners though.

I would think that most of that stuff is like Armour All. I know on my rear stp bumper pads I have to Armour All them every once and a while to take the fade off of them.

I've used the Mother Back-To-Black on my tow mirrors and other black plastic trim. Seems to do OK but takes a bunch of elbow grease to get something decent from it. Not sure how it would do on a spray in bed liner.

Weasly's Bleach White might be worth a try. I have found it to work onsome plastics very good.

The Renuit liquid (and seems the same from what I've read on Forever Black), is a completely different approach than something like Armor All or similar products.
These gel/thick liquids products actually penetrate the material being covered and form a top layer polymer coating over the existing surface.

My bedliner, while in great physical shape being a heavy duty spray in liner, is just looking drab, and has begun to oxidize somewhat meaning that if you rub on it, it leaves black on your hands.

A while back I had done about a square foot of the bed liner that was on the inside of the tailgate cover just as test, and the result was a shiny black new surface that seemed as durable as the original liner underneath, not peeling, etc. That was about a year ago, and it still looks new.

I had intended to do the rest of the bed, but never got around to it, but then recently I was looking at how EXTREMELY drab my roll-top Pace Jackrabbit cover had become, and no amount of Armor All would last very long. I coated the entire roll top cover with the Renuit, and it looks like it's brand new!

I then used whatever I had remaining to do the rest of the liner on the tailgate, and it looks fantastic as well.

But now I'm out, and Renuit is nowhere to be found. But Forever Black seems to be the same process, ie.. a liquid/gel polymer coating.

Thanks,
TX

you might also check with the company that did the liner, they may have something you can use.
