[Shotimes] RE: Hard Rubber Trim

[Ron Porter]

Must have been the plastic. I have been rained on, and done a couple of car
washes, and the pars still look good.

One of the big benefits was in getting the wax off of the plastic/rubber
parts. My window moldings are getting rough with age, and they seem to soak
up the wax pretty well!!

I used that on the bumpers and trim on a Volkswagen I had a while
ago.  Looked great; until it rained.  Seemed like water would create
a milky haze on the parts with the Back To Black on them.  I ended
up reapplying the stuff every couple weeks to keep it looking decent.
Maybe it was the type of plastic.
