Default Mother's Back-to-Black - WOW!

Okay, this is a silly post, but I was so surprised I thought I would post a pic. The upper windshield wiper in the pic below was treated with Back to Black, the lower one was not. Now, I don't know if 303 would achieve the same effect (maybe I should try it), nor do I know how long this will last, but, hey it looks great right now. It's not glossy or oily looking (no Armor All effect), it's just blacker and less dull. Back to Black is not a black substance, it's whitish-clear.

Oh yeah, please excuse the dirty filthy condition of the car. I have not washed it in weeks, and its my daily driver.

I usually put the stuff on a couple of times during the spring/summer season...it seems to last pretty good plus it is very easy to apply.

I repainted mine and wished I had the back to black available here. While I was at it, I got the wiper caps
from the dealer for a few cents and did the hood grill (a/c intake) as well, the one in the picture just
below the wipers

George,
I'm going to ship you some back to black. Look for in about a month and a half from now.

Yeah, Back-To-Black is great stuff for the badly tarnished black areas. I tend to use Aerospace 303 Protectant on my wiper arms, window gaskets, tires, wheel wells, .... oh heck, I use 303 everywhere.

I use it on my rear deck grille and it works great!!! to think, I almost bought another grille due to the poor condition of mine, but Mothers Back to Black saved the day!

I can vouch for this product, too, as I used it on my former '86 Carrera. I was amazed at how it brought back the color.

It works great on all the plastics, made a huge difference to the engine grills and lasted about 6 months+

I use it on all exterior black components including the window seals and door
window frames. The results are impressive. My only complaint is that it washes off in
the rain or during washing and needs to be re-applied.

I tried it a few years ago on my Explorer and thought it left a lot of residue. Looks good but I use McGuires and get good results but it washes off like everything else I have used in the past.
