Default Best product for black plastic

I'm sure its been discussed on the forum before but I just joined a month ago and didn't search the threads.


The black plastic trim pieces around my fender wells is looking pretty dull. Thought about trying the Meguiars back to black. Does it work? Looks easy to use? Anything better?


Thanks for help.

I use Mother's Back to Black and it works pretty well. You rub it in, then buff it off.

I'm not familiar with a similar Meguiar's product.

If you are talking about the liner inside the wheel wells, try Stoners "More Shine", it's supposed to be for tires but works great on the wheel well liners. Makes mine look like they are fresh from the factory.

Back to Black sucks. I used this on my Z28 and like the results.

subscribed Especially after the stealership said they wanted $70k (yes 70,000 dollars) for a trade between my 2011 GS and a loaded 2017 GS.

It was funny to me, because when leaving, 2 other potential customers stopped me on the way out to brag about my vette.

I'm gonna keep polishing and shining it for a while

Don't understand the hostility towards B2B, I have used it for a long time with good results, doesn't wash off with water and stopped the streaking other products couldn't or didn't.
Plus when I see warning labels to wear gloves/respirators and such I steer clear

I have not personally used it, but I do spend time on the Avalanche forum, and if you are familiar with those trucks you'll know their plastic degradation issues. Those guys swear by Carworx Refinish Restorer. Maybe something else to research if you are in the market for a solution...

And once you get it clean again, 303 Aerospace will keep it that way.

The Meguiars and the Mothers were mainly the 2 products I was debating on. Hence for the screw up in my OP by calling the Meguiars product "back to black" instead of "ultimate black". I was thinking they are both pretty good products with similar results. I knew I could get A+ info on the forum.
Thank everyone for your opinions and I hope you all have a very
Merry Christmas!!

Agreed. I use Carworx RR on my Avalanche. It seems to last the longest with the least amount of work. I never had much luck with any of the products at Walmart.
