ORIGINAL: BlackStang08

mothers back to black.
I used to use Back to Black, but that was up until I got my hands on some of Meguiar's Gold Class Trim Detailer. This is the best stuff I've found for FORD plastic. Let me emphasize that; it worked really great on all of my FORD vehicles. My dad used to have a Chevy step side truck, and for that, the Back to Black worked better at getting all of the black trim plastic clean, and kept it clean. The Meguiar's Trim Detailer didn't work as well on that plastic.

It might have something to do with the company making the plastic trim, but the Meg's stuff wasn't as effective on the Chevy as Mother's, and vice versa...

And to quote a detailer who has given me some great tips:

"Find something you like and use it often."

I will say this about the Trim Detailer: It did WONDERS at getting all of the liquid wax buildup off of the black antenna base on my GT. It made it look like it came straight from the showroom floor...Great stuff!
