Our Opinions

Any vinyl and rubber treatment formula will have to go a long way to beat our favorite, Black Again.Our container of Meguiar’s Vinyl & Rubber Protectant has a spray top with a complicated design that leaks.  The sprayer’s pattern is also too wide, causing some overspray on smaller sized motorcycle parts.  Feels sort of “greasy” when applied.  The liquid seems thicker than Armor All.

Contrary to Meguiar’s claims, it feels “greasy” to us when applied to items like saddlebags with a grained surface.  It also doesn’t feel like it dries – the “greasy” feeling remains.  Leaves an acceptable finish, but very shiny, again contrary to manufacturer’s claims.

This product is readily available at a discount in most auto parts stores and other retailers.
