IWSTI Addict since: Jun 2008 Trader Rating: (0) |  What do you guys use for.... The black trim pieces on the outside of cars? I've been wondering because I don't really have anything in the stable that works all that well. Would be looking for something that provides gloss & protection.

IWSTI Addict since: Aug 2008 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: What do you guys use for.... I use Mother's Back to Black. If you use it on an ongoing basis, it will keep those items black and lustrous. However, it won't provide much, if any, gloss. Something like Griot's Garage Rubber and Vinyl Dressing would do that, but it's not particularly long lasting in exterior applications. |

Yeah it does. Just make sure to apply it, then wipe/buff it into the rubber. I do mine every other wash. | |

IWSTI Addict since: Sep 2008 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: What do you guys use for.... Just for S****s and giggles, I tried some tire dressing and was pleasantly surprised. I've used Back to Black and another thats name escapes me. The tire dressing had more of a shine and seemed to work better on the plastic plate under the wipers/windshield. RP |

I did the same thing for a while. I tried Armor All Tire Foam stuff. It was good for those parts but you had to be careful because it is very greasy and can get everywhere. I didn't like the oily/greasy feel so I went back to the Back to Black from Mothers and haven't looked back. | |
