General topics » Mothers back to black aar

While on my 5 state tour last month with my brother, I spent 3 days at his place in Colorado before pushing for home [ Az. ] after traveling through Utah, Wy. and SD.

I'd been using acf-50 to bring the black plastic back to looking new for the last two motors [ GS, and now RS ]. Acf-50 works great, but it doesn't last very long and I found I needed to reapply it often to keep up with it.

He showed me a product called "back to black" he'd been using on his black plastic parts on his GT. He did my mirrors and the center piece between the headlights. Seemed to do the job as well as the acf-50 I'd been using at bringing the plastic back to looking new.

Well, I rode in light to steady to down pouring rain for hours the first day out going over Independence Pass on a detour from Route 70 due to mudslides. Second day to home was quite nice, but the bike looked a mess [ of course ]. Got home, washed and quickly detailed the bike, then did it again a few days later to bring it back to my liking. I noticed the pieces he applied the back to black to were still looking like new [ the acf-50 would not have held up to a solid day of rain, and a second day of extreme sun/heat, from experience ].

I ordered some last week and just applied it to all black parts on my RS this morning. That this stuff holds up in the rain like it did, and doesn't appear to need to be applied as often as the acf-50 is a plus. Less time to keep the bike looking good means more riding time. Thought others may be interested in my findings on this product.

Hi Azqpr,

Looking for Back to black here in Australia. Did yours come in a spray can?

I have been using that product for years and really like it. It works better than other products that I have tried to turn faded black plastic, and especially matte black plastic, looking like new again.
