What do you use to liven-up the looks?

Seems some are made of textured plastic and thats no problem, but the ones I have trouble with are the metal racks with black(or other color)textured paint.

I used some 303 on the metal racks on my MPV and it turned out OK and still dark after a month. Tried Mothers BTB but it sort of dried up and streaked couple days later.

I wish all SUV's and vans came with smooth painted roof racks.:confused:

303 Aero may be the best way to go.

Mothers Back to Black is a garbage product, I have used it a few times before and ended up throwing the bottle away.

I've had good success with Back to Black, depending on the situation.

I've always cleaned the substrate with APC+ before any dressing. It did wonders on my son-in-law's Saab, after 3 coats on black trim that has not been treated since 04.

I'll keep a watch on it and see how it performs after some environmental exposure and a few washes.

If it doesn't perform, I'll return it for cash refund.
