I have used mothers back to black many times on my suburbans black door handles that started to oxidize and also on any plastic trim like plastic running boards. The stuff works well the only problem is you need to apply about 3 coats to an untreated surface. Also it takes a while for the product to dry. But, it does work on all types of plastic and rubber not just black but test first to make sure. Good product. Erik | ||

Paul, Pledge furniture polish works fine for the engine compartment. But you have to get the unscented ones (hard to find around here) or the engine smells like lemons.  | ||

another "cheap" idea for detailing an engine compartment.....try spraying furniture polish on a rag and wiping down some of the metal areas. | ||

Bryon, they work fine on the airboxes and hoses. The finish on the airboxes stays deep black like when the car was first delivered. Never used "back to black" so I can't compare the two products. Griot's is available online. www.griotsgarage.com | ||

Willis, does that stuff really work for air boxes and hoses? Where do I get the Griot's stuff? Would "Back to Black" do the same? | ||

If you're already got Leatherique's products, try Prestine Clean on your rubber trim. You'll be pleasantly surprised. | ||

Matt, Have you used the Back to Black product? I've seen it on the shelf, but wasn't sure if it was any good. Thanks. Clax | ||

Griot's Vinyl & Rubber Dressing. Also works great on tires, rear Challenge grill, engine air boxes and hoses. The product leave a dark, natural look on the surfaces. | ||

Can anyone recommend a product to clean and rejuvenate rubber trim? I'm not looking for something to make it look glossy, just even out the tone of the rubber, and make it evenly black. Thanks! |
