I have to say, out of everything pictured, the back to black product is total crap ( not hating on you ) just a small review on it.

I bought it full of hope after seeing the " actual results " on a TV car program, applied it to my window trim and rubber trim around teh hatch, looked awesome while wet, let it dry, and looks just as bad as it did before applying the product.

after that I went ahead with my online search and found a rough formula on how to make your own black plastic touch up mix, got the supplies and try it, is awesome, I will take before and after pictures when I do the car again, and will post what I found were the % of addition of each ingredient that worked best.

I would like to know how to clean the barrels on the wheels, I haven't found a good way of doing it yet, the car sits too low and wheels are jsut 16s so not enough room to do it from behind the wheel without jacking the car up at which point might as well take the wheel off.
