[Shotimes] RE: Hard Rubber Trim

[Christian Andretta]

The B to B I've used comes in a red plastic bottle and comes out as a thin
milky liquid.

Hmm . . . I wonder if we're talking about the same Back to Black . . .

The stuff I used and am looking at right now is a clear, pasty
gel-like substance . . . .  It was applied very much like an
armour all or liquid wax product . . .

The bottle also says it works equally as well on other color parts,
though I have none that I need to try it on . . .
