Back to Black
I've got a Mini and it has lots of black plastic trims, which are starting to show their age a little.
Not scuffed just not as bright as they could be.
I've tried back to black and its poo or it lasts 5 mins.
I've found this

Looks pretty good, but has a price tag to match.
Firstly, has anyone one used it?
Or recommend somthing better than the crap back to black.
Thanks
- Ash

Auto Glym do a good plastic trim polish that I prefer over back to black. Seems to last well and can be made to leave either a matt or gloss finish
as well.

Have a google about using a heat gun over the plastic. It does work as we did it to the golf

takes a lot of rubbing in, but i've always used old engine oil to blacken my plastics. Great results so far and is also water resistant!
Just make sure you rub it forever to make sure you don't oil yourself next time you walk past....
