Default Mothers "Back to Black"
I've seen the ads, never thought I'd actually be suckered into buying products that don't really work....BUT, now I'm a believer...this stuff turned my dull grey bumper cover almost as black as the day it was installed (with another coat, it should be completely black again), worked on the tailgate cladding, but the rear bumper tops are almost fubar...they will take a TON of scrubbing...

anyway, I'd like too HIGHLY suggest this product if you want to make those faded doorhandles, or any other "used to be black" part black again...for * bucks, its alot cheaper than replacing stuff...

I've used it before and had pretty good results. I did the top on my old K5 and it took all afternoon to get it back to black lol

Hey, coming from a completely different scene where we have to worry about plastic. I hate Mother's Back to Black because it doesn't last.



To keep my bumpers grey, I used this dye called Showroom grey. It's literally a dye and I had to tape off the surrounding areas to apply it, but it returns the plastic to original color. I'm pretty sure they make a showroom black too. Quick google search says you can buy the stuff here.

Back to Black fades away quickly. Works great for a week or two.
