Default Moulding Polish!! This stuff is the bomb!

I figured I'd try Mother's "Back to BLack". So far after 2 washes still shiny and black! This stuff is awesome! Its this white liquid, rub on, rub off. My bumpers and trim look brand ****ing new!! And they're holding up after a couple of washes too, unlike some other brands....just had to share the joy!!
Enjoy!

Does it cover over wax residue?

It might, its alcohol based I think, so that might strip wax. I used it on the plastic around my mirrors, the fresh air intake grill--by windshield wipers..everywhere looks sharp. For the mouldings, I removed them all, cleaned them and treated them with teh Mothers B2B. But any trim that now looks kinda graying or chalky...totally makes it like new!

I love that stuff, I've noticed it attracts some dirt over time, especially around the mirrors, but makes the car look new. Works on everything, even the grey trim for us base-ers. Just don't get any on your paint.

Has anyone heard of or used "Forever Black"? I used it on my Honda several years ago and it made the black plastic/rubber bits look a LOT better. It lasted a year or so before I could tell that it was wearing away.

I just put the Forever Black on my car tonight. I bought it on bavauto.com the other day when i ordered my brake sensore. I put on two coats and it looked really good. By the time i took the masking tape off it was dark so i'll get a better look tomorrow.

heh heh heh.... what are the odds?

Let me know how it looks, I've still got most of a bottle left and IF I ever find a ti, I'm sure it'll need a little TLC on the black trim bits.

This may sound strange. But what I have done in the past is used Kiwi black shoe polish in the little bottle with the beveled sponge tip ( which is good for detailed application). It dries super glossy, no residue, covers wax residue, and last for more than several washes...........and it's cheap.
