Back to black is pretty good. I use a product called RE-new. It makes my dash look really clean and shiney for months! Armourall is some good stuff too! But I use their tire stuff mainly...
I mean honestly, most vinyl cleaners will do the trick. I would try to find a good deal on one of those products if I were you. Go to Walmart, places like Pepboys charge an arm and a leg.
I just bought an amplifier wiring kit from Walmart for $34. Came with everything! That same type of kit at Pepboys (right down the street from my Walmart) was $70+. I know that it isn't good to buy from there, but honestly I am just trying to better my situation... Anywho...

Try using just plain old tire shine. Just spray it on and let it foam the same as you would do to tires. The overspray wipes right off sheet metal. It works like a champ. For small areas like trim around windows just spray some onto a rag heavily and wipe it on. I've tried to Back to Black and Forever black and it's very hard to get it applied evenly and it seems that once it dries it does not last very long.

I use Stoner's Trim Shine;easy to spray on and actually lasts a while and doesn't seem to dry out the plastics like Armor All does. I like Mother's Back-to-Black too. I use Meguire's Trim Shine for the inside which isn't over glossy and doesn't have buildup like some interior cleaners have.

I'm with tc. Mothers products are the best in the industry for restoration and cleaning. i used to clean the medical MTC units as my job for my uncle for 2 years. and we tried every available cleaning products in Canada. and of them all Mothers restored alot of bumper and trim and it cleaned the inside and reduced how much dust collected. i use it still today on my 91 4Runner and i use Armour All on my 91 F250 and the 4Runner turns out ALOT cleaner, brighter and stays that way for WEEKS longer than the amour all.
