detail time: black plastic & rubber prep?

[David.Ullrich at ferguson.com]

Old trick. Use Kiwi liquid shoe polish, better known as "Scuff Magic" in black. Put on 2-3 coats. It will give it a nice BLACK look with just a touch of gloss (like how it looks with a little Armor All). It does NOT rub off. I put on 2-3 coats to begin with, now I just do one per year to keep up. It's MUCH cheaper than Forever Black and as far as I can tell it's the same thing...

The stuff I've found and used is called "Forever Black".  It's a 2 part
system, including a cleaner/degreaser and the black dye in a convienent shoe
polish type applicator.  Can be purchased at varuous places online.  This
has lasted the longest with least fading of the various projects I've tried.
I did a 5ktq 1.5 years ago, and the trim still looks like new.

If I ever get a day off, it's detail time. I have most of what I need
already.  However, I'm wondering if there is a good cleaner for all the
black plastic and rubber bits & trim on the car. I want a thorough cleaning
of said bits so that when I apply my black gook, it'll "soak" in better and
stay on longer.  Any favorites out there?
