Mothers @ KMART ?
Just took a trip down to my local KMART, browsing through the auto care paraphenalia and I come across "MOTHERS" and "MEGUIARS" brands on the shelf. I must say that I was stunned as I stood infront of the shelf, mouth agape! Since when has KMART been offering such brands? And why was I not informed of this sooner? 
Anyways, was shopping for "BLACK AGAIN" and just thought they may stock it, but alas not. Also right next door was a Checkers Auto Parts - thought they might have BLACK AGAIN also, but they do not stock this. Wanting to spruce up the rubber fin and the rubber bumpers before selling my baby. Anyways, bought Meguiars Vinyl & Rubber spray UV40 - just hope this does the trick. Anyone have any comments/opinions on this product? What about Mothers Back-to-Black? Thanks in advance guys/gals <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Mother's Back to Black is the BEST stuff I have ever used. Try it and if you don't agree, I'll buy what you have left (not really, but I always wanted to say that 
). The stuff really is great, I use it on the tires, spoiler, and the mirror rubber. Smells like a pina-colada too!

i use back to black but i dont really see whats so great about it other than the smell.
try using SILICONE PASTE on the pads and the spoiler. it will make your spoiler look almost plastic. just deep and rich

I would stay away from anything silicone based if you plan to paint the car in the next 2 or 3 years. Silicone residue is a painters nightmare!!
I tend to use Lexol on all the rubber and leather. Makes the wing and mirror surrounds look a nice uniform flat black, not glossy, but like it was when the part was made. That's my taste, but if you like glossy, good old Eagle 1 Tire wet works great, and takes a while to wash off.

I love Black Again as well, but unfortunately, I've been told by my local supplier that it is no longer being made.

Another vote for Back to Black here: stuff works great, especially on the rear wing.
However, for my dashboard, I used Vinylux: it not only makes the dash look nice, it does restore some of the stuff the sun dries out of it.
Working on keeping my dash free of cracks,
-Zoltan.
PS: Crack kills, ya know.

I am a Manufacturer's rep in the automotive aftermarket Pamela, and the addition of more name brands is "Big K's" attempt to recover from economic distress (gotta be PC). I'd keep my eyes on the prices though.
Black again has to my knowledge been discontinued-but I'm not 100%. I too have heard wonderful things on Back to Black for external items. I use Armor All's new "Cleaner wipes" on the interior, and also the hoses (and anything else rubber) under the hood. It leaves a semi-gloss shine, and cleans very well-I'm not a big fan of the super shiny. e-mail me-I might be able to chuck a sample your way.

I'm not sure if it's the same "Black Again" that you are looking for, as I had never seen it before, but I purchased some from Prestige Car Care Products, and am very happy with the results. When I spoke to him, he said it was a new product that he was carrying. I didn't see it listed anywhere on his website, though, other than the order form. You may want to send him an e-mail to see if it is what you are looking for.

I've only tried the Back-to-Black, and it's all I'll every try. It does exactly what it advertises, which is an anomaly in car-care products. Two or three drops did two coats to both bumper pads, and there is no streaking. I wholly endorse it. Now, where's my check?
