How to remove Back-To-Black

Post Fri Mar 11, 2005 4:58 pm

I recently went a bit mad with some back to black spray, and did the front grill, window trim, black side trim, bumper trim etc, but i maybe put too much on.It looked good at first, but i didnt take it off, i just sprayed and left it, and after a few days or so its now gone patchy and where ive tried it wash it theres really stubburnsmear/drop marks.I rub over the bits of trim and it sorts it all out, then after a drive, all the dirts got in the grill etc and it looks shit.How can i get the stuff off?Is there a certain stuff i should be using?

I don't think theres much you can do apart from washing the car loads. Back to black always attracts dust easily, keep to the old phrase little and often, making sure you rub it off well.

I think it was on a detailing forum, I didn't believe it at first but tried it and it worked wonders.

Cheers for all the advice lads, gonna try it tommorow.I take it Back To Black bumper black aint the best thing for window trim? Would anyone else offer any other products to use.

It looked awesome when i put it on, but i basically just sprayed it all over anything black and plastic lol. The window trim, the kidneygrill ,the side trim strips, the bumper pannels etc.Then left it, didnt remember to rub it all in as i was too busy wasting the whole can!!
