Default any one try meguires "back to black"

I know its not the real name, but its the meguires version of mothers "back to black" its for all the black trim on vehicles. I've used the mothers stuff, and it streaks and drys weird over time. Just wondering if anyone has tried the meguires, and is it better?

I've used the natural shine protectant if that's what you're talking about. It streaks when water gets on it too.

I use tire shine on my fenders. Armor all gel I think. It works great, the fenders went from grey to black and have stayed that way for 3 months and still looking good

Just used Black Magic tire gel. Works great! (Just don't put it on the running boards)

Nope. Did it at a car show yesterday. Went to hop out and forgot. Just slipped out; sat on the rocker. When I got home I hit it with windex. It's a lot better now and still looks great!

LOL. Well I do know better, but it's got to look good for the show. I just forgot about it.

Lol funny. This is what I used:

I used it on my tires, fenders, and yes, my step rails. Thankfully I didn't fall on it, but it was slick for a day or two
