cquartz dlux...it is the only trim restorer that will last for up to 2 years and will not drip or run down the side of your car.

DO NOT use back to black. That crap runs when it rains! I just put it on my car about 3 weeks ago and let it dry in the garage. I cleaned it with soap/water and isopropyl and scrubbed it with a tire brush to no avail! I'm going to try the last persons comment and see how that works. I'd really like to find a product that actually dyes the plastic permanently

The Poorboy's Trim Restore worked much better for me that the Mother's. I'm curious about another product called BlackWOW.

I tried the Turtle Wax deal and it's been fine! Haven't tried anything else mentioned in this thread though.

Barebones Undercarriage Spray

This was recommended to me by someone that re-conditions trade-ins which end up on dealer lots.

Label on the side says it all "For professional use only, keep out of the reach of children"

Amazing results.

Smells like grape soda as well...which I'm sure is necessary to mask the ingredients found on the MSDS sheet for this stuff.
