Default What do you guys use?

Hey guys, not only am I into driving my car like it should be, but I'm into making it look like it should look, too. My question is what kind of preservative has anyone used on the rear spoiler? Any recomendations? All I have right now is "Back to Black" and it's not really a preservative. I'm looking to avoid fading and cracking, and I don't want the material to become hard in places. Thanks!

Any of the creme's do OK. back to black is just like a silicon spray IMO. I picked up some meguiers the other day, and it seems OK.

Hmm...I've heard armor all isn't that great, that it tends to make the surface brittle and more prone to cracks...just what I've heard tho...haven't seen it happen to my other car, and I've used it a couple times.

I've used Mother's Back to Black for 7 years on the 951 and another 3 on the 944 I sold. As far as I'm concerned there is no better product on the market. It's inexpensive and it works.

I have used Meguiar's Prof Rubber Cleaner and lately 303 which has great UVA-40 protection, and is actually used widely in aerospace.
