Would back to black hurt my dashboard. The reason i am asking is because I here the white milky vinyl protector is far easier on surfaces than the armoral and clear stuff. It also says it wont hurt surfaces that arent black.
 
back to black is made by Mother's...As I understand it, the product is designed for ecterior application. Personally, I would stick to waterbased dressings on the interior. I like Meguiars #40 a lot........
 
well, I tested it on my steering colum plastic (black of course) and it did a great job. I also used it a small grey plastic portion of my steering wheel and I was shocked and appalled.



Oh, and yeah...your right, mothers.

Mothers B2B won't *hurt* any surface. It may not always produce the best results if applied incorrectly, but can be used on any coloured plastic surface. Its more of a restorer with some protection, not a dedicated dressing like Preserves Protectant.



I use B2b as a cleaner/restorer base, allow to cure for a few days, then apply Mothers Protectant for long-term care. My other favourite with a similar look and durability is 303. If you use 303 you need to apply it to a clean non-dressed surface, otherwise it won't take, so in that case I don't use B2B as a base.



BTW, 303, B2B and Protectant *are* water-based as well.
 
I actually didnt try it on my dash...it is flawless and the original from 17yrs ago so I didnt want to chance anything.



I did however use it on my satin black mirrors and wow. Worked good. I let it sit for about 6 hours, then added a coat of NXT. Hopefully the NXT will make the finish more durable or that is what I am hoping. Judging by the way it did on the small section of the steering wheel, I didnt want my dash to be flat with no gloss.



I did use the armor all and I always, after application, rub it in real good so it just leaves a nice satin finish. Is that just wiping the protection away? I always see people with super shiney dashes (regular people, not freaks like us). That super shiny dash board look is just *cringe*.
