I recalled someone not liking this product because of longevity(same problem I have with Griots Vinyl and Rubber dressing). Found it on sale so for $3 I said "what the hell.." Used it on my mudflaps and tires. We'll see how long it lasts...post your observations of this product if you used it before please.
Mothers "Back to Black"

I tried it on the black trim to cover the white residue from wax (before I started using Zaino). It did a good job at making the trim look better but didn't last. A bit of rain will wash it off. Since then, I used smooth peanut butter (actually, the crunchy type but picked out the peanuts
) and the wax residue is gone, not just hidden.

Peanut butter?! I am guessing this is a joke, but I'll bite just in case. I have used some pretty weird stuff on my cars, but this has to be the most random thing I've ever heard!
How did you apply it? Did you cover it with anything after you applied it?
Or maybe a better question would be, what the he11 ever made you think of using peanut butter??
While taking a snack break while looking over car detail job: "Yum, this is the best PBJ sandwich I've ever had. What the... did I accidentally get some wax on that trim? Maybe this PB will do the trick! {swipes some out of sandwich and applies it with finger} Imagine that, it works!" heh

I've had the same experience with Back to Black. I used it on my old car on faded black plastic, and it did an OK job (especially if it was reapplied a day or two later), but it would last a couple of weeks or a month at best. It might work better if you kept it up, to where some of it would get 'worked in' to the material. I dunno.

Believe it or not, peanut butter is the best thing to use to remove excess wax residue from your black trim pieces.SONET said:Peanut butter?! I am guessing this is a joke, but I'll bite just in case.
It's an old trick that I've heard over the years... I thought it was crazy until I tried it myself. Careful with chunky peanut butter or it will swirl (that isn't a joke). Smooth and creamy does the job. :thumb:

I've been using Mothers Back to Black for some time now. It does a good job of hiding the white residue on the black panels, however I've noticed it only lasts a week or two at best. And of course if it rains, then the white marks are back. I have used pb and that has worked well on my previous car, haven't had to use it just yet on the '02. I wish BMW would just make them body colored, I wonder why they don't??

I have back to black... lasts for a month or so. Then the white residue reappears.
Peanut butter works fine, but it's annoying to apply & stinks.
Black Again is supposed to be the best.

How exactly does one go about applying and removing PB once it's on? Is it something to do with the oil? Anybody try plain old peanut oil? :dunno:JPinTO said:

PB discussion on wax residue
I used my fingers to apply it and cotton terry to remove it. Then my dog got the towel from the laundry pile and went nuts
