Something called "armourall" get the spray bottle, from Halfords or something, about £2.00 it's excellent stuff, shines up all black plastics, seats etc.

Wears off a bit but use reguarily and it's cool, it doesn't make the seat too slippery either!

It's not a back to black type thing, it's just a cleaner type thing, I used it on all my bodywork and it brings them up really clean/shiney, especially the black lowers

I always found Autosol to be good getting things back to there blackness.

Not used it since 2001 though as I used it on all the black parts on my scoot which I sold in August 2001 to upgrade to an ER-5 Very Happy

Back to black is excellent stuff and brings things up really shiny..BUT it is also very slippery and you wouldn't really want to get any on you're pegs or seat etc!

Hi

One thing with back to black is don't use it on the dashboard of a car. It works well and makes it very black and shiney. Very shiney. At best it makes the interior look like really cheap shiney plastic.

All the best

Autoglym Super Resin Polish. Thumbs Up
Excellent for most bike paintwork, fairings and tank etc. Wash your bike as usual, apply some polish leave a few minutes to dry and then buff. Nice shiny plastics. Very Happy

As Yam's said Armourall is the stuff you want, lasts longer than back to black and also prevents fading etc.

DO NOT use it on your seat! You don't want your seat that slippy etc. Just use soapy water etc on your seat.
