lol i think they mean you can go off your paint a little without it leaving residue, like you accidentally hit the edge while waxing, not full out applying it. That's how i always took it atleast.

 

WD 40 works great too, just spray it on a rag and wipe down the plastic

 

Krylon Fusion is what I used, zero maintenance.

timmy, time to PTM that bumper

 

Thats not what they say on their web site or in their commercials. Here is their web site if you dont believe me.

I would rather go with the long term fix rather then the temporary fix. aka paint rather then wax or polish.

Paint will last alot longer and be alot cheaper in the long run.

But question.

Anyone that applied that wax or b2b or anything else what if after you applied it you put a clear coat spray over it. wouldnt that make it hold alot longer??

 

Why on earth would you do that?

 

Is Back to Black just like a diluted tire shine?

 

I have no clue but it will never touch anything on my truck again. I have a bottle that I am trying to figure out what to with maybe I will use it for target practice with my new toy.

 

Wow...that does look bad...I have used it alot on the plastic and have never had that happen... Maybe next time i will reconsider using it.

 

i just figured it would help it last longer...

 

to get that wax off of plastic I used a big eraser, like the ones we used in elementary school. Worked really well on the bed rails and wiper cowl to get the old residue off.

 

The trick to most of products discussed is a properly prepped surface...ie IPA scrub or some Meg #39 Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner followed by some Black Wow but...

After much effort trying to avoid it on the door handles and wiper cowl, PTM is the least work for the best long term look IMHO.

 

ya im with old dogg

id ptm anytime on plastic stuff.

Another vote for Black Wow, and one for Ultimate Protectant. Dries nice and even

Black Wow is made by Black Wow. Ultimate Protectant is Meguiars. Ultimate Protectant runs if you use it on hard plastic but it looks absolutely fantastic on my soft tonneau cover.

Timmy, there is only one thing that Back to Black will do well, and that's remove wax from plastic. Use it with an old toothbrush. Finish up with detailing spray to remove the Back to Black or it's just going to run and look like crap.
