Mothers 06141 Back-to-Black Heavy Duty Trim Cleaner Kit,12 fl. oz.

Restoring Exterior Trim

In the case of opaque plastic and urethanes left exposed and dirty, where the surface is eroded and oxidized, dried out and faded, you can revitalize it with a plastic restorative agent. Mothers Back-to-Black is a good example of a formula designed for this purpose. Repeated applications over several days can help to bridge the gap between tired or sunburned molecular bonds.

When washing your car, you may notice that exterior components (such as trim, molding, bumpers, door handles, vents, seals and others) have faded from black to gray, their surface crispy and cracked. This is where restoratives like Back-to-Black shine (pun intended).

Remember this: once plastic has deteriorated so much that it needs Back-to-Black, then lighter chemicals like Protectant can’t save it anymore. At this point, Back-to-Black is the only option.

Another caution: Don’t use Mothers Back-to-Black (or a similar type of restorative) on your tires. Heavy restorative chemicals like that are designed for exterior trim only.
