any auto parts store with a half decent wax section should carry it if you are looking to buy it.

I have a bottle of Mothers Back to Black if you wanna try it out Friday before the cruize-in.

I like using it on the edges of my TTops, and the black lug-nut covers on my factory wheels.

Adams makes an In N Out spray (arisol or wipe-on forms) that work very well. Looks makes pretty much any of the outside plastic pieces look factory new in all of 2 seconds. I'm lazy so that's what I use Used it on the front pastic pieces (had some nice white caked on wax I never got off) and it's been a nice deep black/gray since then (6 months ago) and the nice part is is it's safe to get on your paint too (just wipe it off... duh.)

Yeah I might try that and then if it doesnt really work I can always repaint it, when you gonna get those LEDs for the cluster???? Oh yeah and I might have a new guy come with us to the meet he drives a SS Nova with a 454 in it, on the way home saturday I raced him and we talked at walmarts parking lot lol.
