NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYThe Atlantic - The Huffington Post - Men's Journal - MSN (U.K.) - Kirkus Reviews - Publishers Weekly #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - WINNER OF THE JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION AWARD FOR WRITING AND LITERATURE Every year, the average American eats thirty-three pounds of cheese and seventy pounds of sugar. Every day, we ingest 8,500 milligrams of salt, double the recommended amount, almost none of which comes from the shakers on our table. It comes from processed food, an industry that hauls in $1 trillion in annual sales. In Salt Sugar Fat, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Michael Moss shows how we ended up here. Featuring examples from Kraft, Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Frito-Lay, Nestl , Oreos, Capri Sun, and many more, Moss's explosive, empowering narrative is grounded in meticulous, eye-opening research. He takes us into labs where scientists calculate the "bliss point" of sugary beverages, unearths marketing techniques taken straight from tobacco company playbooks, and talks to concerned insiders who make startling confessions. Just as millions of "heavy users" are addicted to salt, sugar, and fat, so too are the companies that peddle them. You will never look at a nutrition label the same way again. Praise for Salt Sugar Fat " Michael] Moss has written a Fast Food Nation for the processed food industry. Burrowing deep inside the big food manufacturers, he discovered how junk food is formulated to make us eat more of it and, he argues persuasively, actually to addict us."--Michael Pollan "If you had any doubt as to the food industry's complicity in our obesity epidemic, it will evaporate when you read this book."--The Washington Post "Vital reading for the discerning food consumer."--The Wall Street Journal "The chilling story of how the food giants have seduced everyone in this country . . . Michael Moss understands a vital and terrifying truth: that we are not just eating fast food when we succumb to the siren song of sugar, fat, and salt. We are fundamentally changing our lives--and the world around us."--Alice Waters "Propulsively written and] persuasively argued . . . an exactingly researched, deeply reported work of advocacy journalism."--The Boston Globe "A remarkable accomplishment."--The New York Times Book Review

Not long lasting
Style: Trim & Plastic Restorer, 12 fl. oz.
Works well but might need multiple coats to get to shinny. Not long lasting.

Time will tell
Style: Trim & Plastic Restorer, 12 fl. oz., Style: Trim & Plastic Restorer, 12 fl. oz.
I sprayed off the shutters before using. Then applied the product. It’s a thicker, white liquid. (Think lotion) it applied easily and dried quickly since it was being absorbed into the plastic shutters and aluminum windows; mine were very ‘thirsty’ from being in the direct afternoon sunlight. I like how I didn’t have to worry if one part rcvd more product than another. It blended easily.
I think it looks good, but so did using other products over the years. I was told by a neighbor that this was the best product to use on them and other plastics. Time will tell if it holds up.

Worked wonderfully and so easy!
Couldn’t believe how great this worked! I was waxing my car when I decided to wax the bumpers thinking this would protect them from the dry, sunny climate I live in. The bumpers turned white!!! Got the Meguiar’s Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer, wiped it on and they look brand new!!! Lesson to self…don’t wax plastic! I highly recommend.

It works effectively but be patient
This is great stuff but do not expect it to turn really faded out black plastic on the outside of your car to like-new condition after one application. However if you apply this to the black plastic on your car after each wash, it will soak in and turn it into an almost new appearance. And it will last! It works great but be patient.
