Back to Black question

[sgbruton]

i recently bought mothers back to black and i was wondering how careful i need to be with it on my paint

i mean it wont bother me to tape off what needs to be cleaned but if i dont have to i dont really want to .


thanks

Try to avoid getting it on the paint but if you do, all you have to do is wipe it off.

alright so its not gonna eat through my clear coat?

 

[SteveP]

nope.

But with a lot of sun, it fades quickly

^dude your car looks great

People rave about Back to Black but I don't know why. It's a pain to apply, streaks, and lasts about 2 days if you're lucky.

^^^^ Yep.

 

[sgbruton]

what product is better?

yea, it's more of a pre-show detail. HEAT actually works wonders on faded trim plastic (not just black), clean all the dirt off and use the heat gun. Obviously, be careful and don't full on melt the thing though.

Anything is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

and for the price of a temporary solution, you're better off (cost-effectiveness) to use creamy peanut butter.

i saw that video too, probably would never put peanut butter on my car

NastyStang113 just turned me onto this stuff for all of the black on the exterior parts of the car! I ordered a bottle, and I'll fill you in on how it works for me after I get it and after I get my car back from the shop.

This trumps all... It seems expensive for the size but it goes a long way.

I actually just ordered some of this as well. I figure if Nasty thinks it's good it's got to be the shit.
