Result is very black with no shine and has lasted two months with no need to reapply so far. I wash at least once per week or more. Forever Black is not a dressing type of product. It is more like a black dye for vinyl and rubber. I got it for my Jeeps and it works wonders on the exterior vinyl trim. It is a PITA if you get it on your paint. It lasts for at least a year on the Jeeps. I will see how long it lasts on tires.
