"Back to Black" for me as well! As far as cleaning up the mess….. I would suggest a three step process: 1. try using a water and Dawn dish detergent to remove what can be removed by that process 2. then go to Home Depot or Lowes, etc. and buy some "denatured" alcohol….wipe the surface down with that to remove any remaining dresidue 3. take a water damp cloth and wipe once again. The surface should now be clean of any residual material….scuffs and scratch marks will still be there BUTTT…apply the Back to Black and you will see a huge improvement!

I use Zaino Z-16 on weather strips and the black body plastic. Stays black for a loooooong time.
