    Oh yeah? Is there something I should know about Back To Black? Actually, I have been meaning to start a new thread about cleaning stains from the cladding. Mine has some weird white-ish spots all over it. It isnt that noticable, but it is there. I am guessing it might be like wax stains from a previous waxing job. I was hoping the Back To Black would get it off but it didn't....

    i have had great results CLEANING the cladding with Castrol super clean. its in a purple bottle with sprayer. it cleans mud remains, (after wash.....you know what im talking about) and it seems to do well in removing products like back to black. I am thinking about removing all the back to black, and going with the ICE. i like the look of the back to black, but dont like the "greasyness" my $.02

    my fav is still this stuff called 'black again' creates a little bit of static, but gives you a really nice deep shine, i used it, then went off roading, all it took was a dry microfiber wipe down to get it looking great again.. also accidentally stripped some off with WD40 and had to reapply, took about 30 seconds to patch it... one bottle has lasted me probably 5 applications too...

    Having never used it, this is just heresay, but I have heard Back 2 Black's oily residue collects everything (dust, pollen, etc.) for several days after applying. As for the wax, I would try a pressure washer, or a car wash with one. If resorting to a chemical is necessary to remove it, then maybe googone or a bug&tar remover? Just be sure to try it under the wheel well to make sure it wont react.
