I'm so glad to have my old 91 740 working again, I'm actually starting
to clean it up and make it look spiffier.

The bumpers were a light oxidized gray.  Fella at the auto parts store
recommended this "Back2Black" product, which is a white creamy liquid
which I've applied, and applied, and applied to the bumper.  Seems to
need to soak it up, or layer up, or something.  Anyway, its now a medium
dark gray.

I bought some "Tire Black" for my tires.  Clear liquid.  One
application, my tires look shiny, etc.  I tried it on one section of the
bumper, and with one spray, that area is shiny and black.

Question is, which product is going to last.  If I have to keep
reapplying the "Tire Black" every few weeks, as it says to do for the
tires, that ain't gonna work.

Any experience with this?

Armor All (Armour All?) is very good. Nothing I've encountered yet
really lasts, but rather than just coat the plastic with a glossy slime,
Armor All renovates plastics by bonding itself to the surface.

They even make a low gloss version which looks a lot more like new
plastic than the glossy stuff does.

It's stunning on interior plastics.
