Hi
The GSX1250FA 2015 has vast acreages of matte black plastic.
So what wonder product do you all use to keep your black black?

I use Armor All low shine.  Works well and looks good.

Already mentioned elsewhere on the forum, Turtle ICE liquid wax which can be applied to all surfaces including plastics is a great way to protect new surfaces.

I had great success with faded black plastics using a product called Forever Black made a 10yr old car bumper like new as well as the rear guard on my '96 Bandit.

ive used a mothers product I think it was called back to black. results were excellent... until I tried the meguires gold class version. much better... its a thicker solution, is very tenacious lasts for ages. the plastics look better than new and the finish lasts longer than armour all.
armour all was great in the 80's but there are much better products out now.

Thanks for that.  Will keep an eye out for that Maguires product.

I haven't tried that Meguiars product yet but all of the others I've used I've been impressed with, will have to keep a look out as I haven't given the plastic any special treatment yet and it's 3 1/2 years old now
