Black to Black for Plastics
« on: May 08, 2013, 12:26:46 AM »
Been using this for a while on the plastic bits and pieces around many of these cars. Hate using Armor All since it has a number of negative side effects for me. Though the fresh new look does not last forever but you can simply rewipe and go again.

As always - just what has worked for me ;)


1- Today's item a 71-73 short console





2- Console washed - dust all gone





3- Rub the product onto the surface like the directions call for





4- Following the direction the surface is allowed to set then rubbed to remove excess





5- Finished console - well at least the plastic surfaces





Treated and untreaded halves of a full console





71-73 kickpanels treated with Back to Black

Griot's has a bumper/molding treatment that is colored black and actually does a nice job at freshening black plastic pieces.  The back to black stuff is pretty good though, have used it in the past.

What about black exterior plastic/rubber surfaces?  I haven't found anything that stands up to much water without spotting or dulling? Also noticed with some products tend to 'run'  leaving a film on painted surfaced below.

I have used Mothers back to black and like it and also used Meguiar's rubber treatment with good results.
