*Facepalm* Jabster and I are just sharing personal experiences that we have PROVEN to work. Following up with a post saying it's useless is like a slap in the face. And the point is to find something that restores flexible black plastic or bedliner material back to new without paint. Why without paint?? Because my 200 pound fat *** would most likely destroy whatever is sprayed on when I hop up onto the bumper to get in the bed.

Just saying.

Amen brother Ron! I prefer not to spray paint pieces of my truck...but that's just me.

I applied "Just Once" 2x a year and it held up REALLY well. First in AZ on the surface of the sun and then in norhtern NY in some cold *** winters.

All plastic and rubber on 2003 F-150 Screw treated in 1 hr (including the bedliner and vent holes).

2x per year = 2 hrs per year (not really that much time)

Unless you're crazy about detailing and apply the stuff every week, this should work for you as well. But if you are, your probably already spending 10 hrs a week on the ride. Not that there's anything wrong with that

Peace.

Then consider it a slap in the face. You're more likely to slip on your *** after using a polish or spray to treat your plastics that you are to destroy(?) what is sprayed on. Ask anyone who's treated their running boards with back to black, tire spray, or armour all what happened the first time they put their foot on it - it's not safe, and it's not good for your plastics either. Look into the chemical properties of Krylon, and you'll notice that it'll put up with pretty much anything you can throw at it. It's not just 'paint'.

Broaden those shoulders a bit bucko and don't hesitate to accept some PROVEN, FACTUAL advice for the guys on here who are looking for the RIGHT way, not just a quick fix. #trolling

Just Once, Two times a year? Sounds like an oxymoron to me - Maybe they should call it, "Just Twice, Every Year, Depending where you live". I'm sure it'd sell like hotcakes!

"Keep your truck bed liner looking new while giving the surface a non-slip shine with Just Once!"

Did you even bother to gain knowledge on the product or are you just hell bent on talking down on it?

Read the MSDS sheets on that crap, then get back to me. If you think you can just take a product at it's word, then you've got a troubling future ahead of you. We've all agreed that you have to use this stuff more than 'Just Once', so why would you trust that the stuff is 'non-slip'? I have a can of that garbage in front of me, and can tell you that it is definitely NOT non-slip.

Take a second to think about what the Armadillo co. wants with this product - MONEY! If this was truly a "Just Once" product, they'd be out of business, hence why most car products are considered consumables, meaning the companies are counting on you buying more and more of the stuff. Pull your head out of the sand and realize when a guy is trying to save YOU time, effort, and money by telling you what actually works.

Hey Lariatboy. What works for you may not necessarily work for others. That's why we are all here presenting options. I didn't need to read the MSDS or take them at their word. I took a leap of faith for $15 and I USED THE PRODUCT! It works very well and absolutely as advertised. It is also NON-SLIP on whatever surface you apply it to. How do I know this? Oh yeah, I USED THE PRODUCT!

Please do yourself and us a favor next time and do your homework. Or better yet, spend the $15 and try the product before you cut it down. Not a lot of risk since there is a money back guarantee. Or you can keep hacking your vehicle up with spray paint and heat guns. Totally your call my friend.

Peace.......out.

And that’s how it all began. The first thing I did was change the name to Just Once, because I knew that, like me, anyone who tried this fantastic product just oncewould never use their old product again.

The product now has two U.S. patents and is sold worldwide. I am constantly
hearing back from amazed customers who have discovered how wonderful Just Once is, and I know you will share their enthusiasm once you try it too. In fact, I believe in this product so much that I guarantee you’ll love it. If you use it as directed and still aren’t satisfied, just send back the unused portion and I’ll refund your money in full.

If you took the time to read my post, you would have noticed that I own a can of the product, and have used it. Ironically, I did only use it "Just Once", and after it faded after 3 weeks(Mothers Back to Black did the same thing), I shelved it and started my search for the proper way to do it. After speaking with SEVERAL professionals at both Ford and private body shops, I was told over and over again to use the Krylon.

I would never take a heat gun to my vehicles unless I was trying to pull a decal or remove some adhesive - so i'm not sure where you got that from.

If you want to talk low risk - You can get a can of Krylon for under $10, and it will last the life of your vehicle - GUARANTEED. Clearly you're the one who hasn't done their homework, and anybody with their head screwed on straight will thank me for providing a SOLUTION to the problem, not a quick fix that has to be done over and over again.

Seeing as i've tried your 'favorite' product, I suggest you give mine a try before you bother voicing your opinion on the subject.

Can't seem to let it go, huh chief. You're right and I'm wrong. How's that?

Maybe you and your "professionals" can convince Ford to Krylon all the plastic out of the factory, so that we won't have to mess with it ourselves.

Didnt feel like reading thru 7 pages to find out if anyone put this up, But a few years back I redid the plastic bumpers on my old geo with black shoe dye. Only did it once and it gave it a nice black look that hasnt faded yet, Had a few people comment on the bumpers. Took quite a bit of time using the spong on the bottle tho so I only did it once and didnt try multiple coats, I plan on doing this to all the plastic on my truck once I get around to that point of the project.
