Mother's back to black, lol
So my Avy has been baking out here in Mojave desert and the plastics are starting to look like poo. Well the other day while watching TV I see an ad for Back to Black, by Mothers. So far Id have to say it works. While it didnt turn my plastics black, they did go back to dark grey. I initially thought it it would just dye them black, but it dosent, its like an oxidation remover that eats all the crap of the surface of the plastics. So if your worried about it turning your stuff funny colors the goo is white goes on clear, and is whiped off after drying. But there isnt much to whipe off.
The truck has about 170,000 miles on it, and has been out here for right at 3 years. Here are some before and after pics...

Give it a couple more coats on everything and it will look better and last little longer, and try and use it on a regular basis. The more you use it, the easier it is to apply and get good results from what i remember.
I use to use it every other wash (2weeks) or so on my syclone's cladding
It did the trick, but i wanna say there was another product out there i heard was better than back to black, but i cant seem to remember it.
oh and you missed your fender flares..

On a side note, on the back lable it says it will remove any wax you get on your plastics.
Another thing I noticed is if you appily the back to black on any surface that is even remotely warm it will imedately dry out and not do anything for the oxidation.
