i found some back to black in the cupboard at home and thought that it would be a bonus saves me going out to buy some etc.... although i decided to try it on a little portion on my car i.e the boot handle just incast it didnt work or it looked rubish... anyway i followed the instructions on the bottle and when i had finished it didnt look no difference n my bumpers and that need doing soo so just wounder if you people had any hints or tips of getting plastic back to black???

I used back to black on my bumpers and it worked fine,
Did you put it on a sponge or just spray it on and whipe it over?

My wife uses peanut butter smooth on her bumpers, works just as good.
I laugh when she 1st said about it, she had seen it on some tv prog.
It does work.
