The best back to black...EVER!

86audicoupe · 27-02-08, 07:56 PM

If you are looking for the best back to black, it's made by Sonax and I know it's available from Vauxhall dealerships, usually costs about a fiver.

This isn't the cheap s**t you can buy that lasts about a day! It's jet black, basically like black paint so try not to get it on your hands or on the bodywork because it can be hard to get off! You can remove it with a bit of tar removal/petrol on a cloth. It'll last and look good for about a year!

I'm gonna give that a go.
I use Black Wow at the moment. It's a new fangled product from the States.
No silicones like Back to Black but seems greasy and only lasts about 4-6 weeks and at £14 for a small bottle, it's definately not cheap.

One of the lads I work with has a Mitsubishi FTO and was told to use LINSEED OIL on the black bits. Gotta admit it looked bloody good so am off to buy a small bottle to try. Admittedly he is like me and doesn't take the car out in the wet ('cept when Coxy said the kettle was on lol) so not sure how it stands up to the good 'ol British weather.

Other way is applying heat and making the plastic "bleed"
A heat gun or even a hair dryer over greying bumpers will bring them back to black and looking good again!
