I had been using Back to Black but it didn't work too well on my stuff and it ran wicked bad when it rain...the Meguiar's really makes my trim black and I don't have to apply it as much

I use that Supreme Shine on everything. I use it on my interior, plastic and tonneau. It's great stuff and will stay on for quite a while, the bottle lasts a long time too since you don't have to use a lot of it.

I only used back to black a few times. I tend to stick to meguiars products. Never had a problem with it running, but it did leave nasty oily streak if i touched it on the paint the tiniest bit.

I wonder if he uses a piece of bread as an applicator. You can eat the bread when your done. Just kidding!

Get some 303 protectant. The plastic on my 99 f150 looked new when I sold it last year. Good luck anyways.

Wonder if jelly can be used for tire shine? If so, 2/3 of the way to a PBJ!

Sorry - couldn't resist.
then after you lick it, you gotta say, "the snazberries taste like snazberries!"
and just use some wonderbread to wipe the peanutbutter and jelly off. detail you truck and you have your lunch too!

Hyper Dressing here and it works well if you apply it correctly. I have used Back to Black before and will never use it again it runs like a scalded cat when it rains.

that turtle wax ice is great but i tried it on my plastic once, and will never do it again. it left residue and i CANT get it off. here is a pic of my truck. the turtle wax residue has been on the black bumper on both sides for over a year and has not come off at all.

the other side is worse. the ice works awesome on the painted surfaces tho. been using it on 3 vehicles now. EDIT forgot to mention that this pic was taken just a few minutes after i waxed it.

mothers back to black seems to work pretty decently as well
back to black worked for me for about 3 days, then back to crap again.

i never had my back to black run but it must have come off some other way. it didnt rain at all. maybe the dew in the mornings took it off. it only looked nice for 3 days.

Never ever use any type of wax on unpainted plastic you are only asking for problems and lots of headaches getting it off of the plastic. Timmy I would go get a bottle of Quick Detailer and a tooth brush and have at your black bumper I have had really good luck getting wax residue off of plastics with that method.

Because Turtle Wax advertises that you can use their ICE product on plastics with out residue and people do it not knowing any better.
