Whats the best treatment for all the black on the trucks, runnin board pads, wheel flares, grille, etc. I armouroled the hell out of mine the other day and first time it rained it all washed off and left streaks on the paint. whats the best stuff to use? TIA

 

If i get stains on mine, i usually use that ICE cleaner by turtle wax, never had a problem with it, a little goes a long way so it wont run in the rain

 

Trade it in for a white one...JK.... Use any one of the quik detailers that may be used on plastice or rubber(most of them you can) I use Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer.

 

adam's polishes has a great line of products. specifically VRT for that need.

Dont use armoral, that will fade it out even more over time. Duragloss makes a black trip dressing that will actually dry after applied it can be found at carquest. theres a product called bumper black back, you should be able to find it online. Aerospace 303 protectant works good too and it can be found at most marine supply stores. I think u can get all of those at autogeek.net or autopia.org

 

Just Armour All the whole truck! Sorry not a real solution. I did know of an old man who did this to his Oldsmobile regularly and sweared by it. But he was retired and probably never drove in the rain anyway.
I too have the same problem. I know most will respond with "Try spraying the rag or cloth first" and then wiping the plastic or tires with the cloth, But I would like to hear other suggestions as well I too have this problem. Ihave tried all of the obvious Armour all type protectants and products. I am now using Meguiars Insane shine. I love it on the black plastic trim pieces but do not like it on the tires. It looks great but slings off like mad.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, has anyone had any experience with "back to black" I think meguires makes it , maybe ?

 

I used Mothers Back to Black on all the window trim and black plastic about 2 weeks ago and it still looks good. It made the plastic look brand new again.

 

I second the vote for Mothers Back to Black. I have used it for years and it works on any color exterior plastic. Bumper trim, steps, bed caps, etc....
