It's been holding up pretty good since I applied it.
It hasn't really rained yet but if it does and the stuff runs down my paint will it damage the paint? What the best way to rid of it after it's on the paint?

It look like buckleys cought syrup with water added. This stuff is extermly runny, and should be applied to a towel first not directly on the car. It will just run down. you'll see when u get it. So go get it!

So I detailed the car with a friend of mine today and I had just bought this stuff called Back-To-Black from Mothers.
This stuff renews the look of your black trim around the windows and the door pillars.
My friends' 1999 328i's rubber trim around the windows and on the door and bumpers was basically gray.
This stuff made them black again. Great stuff! I used it on my car too.
If you don't believe me here is some before and after:

I just spent a good 8 hours this weekend detailing, wet-sanding and polishing my headlights, washing, waxing, conditioning and protecting, and concluded with some back-to-black and it looks amazing. my '04 545i looks brand-new..
I'm curious to see how the back-to-black lasts as well, so-far it looks great without being greasy (I put a fairly light coating on and buffed all excess off). I'll post up some pictures later too
