Has anyone that lives on a dirt road, used back to Black on the back bumper? I thought about trying it but don't know if dust is as bad about sticking to it. On other vehicles I used other products and dust got into the tiny cracks in the plastic and ended up making the vehicle look worse than it did before I used them.

Naw - B2B doesn't remain tacky or wet at all. Once it is applied, it is buffed a tad and that's that.

Don't sweat it.

Well I don't live on a dirt road, but I do live around a BUNCH of road construction. I use the B2B on my Xterra just about every other time I wash my Xterra. With all that dust flying around, it does tend to stick to the bumpers, but not so bad that it will change the color of the bumper. Hope that helps!

But no more than the rest of the truck, either... B2B itself doesn't attract dust, or shouldn't. Sounds like you're applying it a bit too often, but then I guess that depends on how often you wash the truck, heh. I find that B2B is good for a month or so, easy - even in rainy weather.

Some people do report odd application stories with B2B...

Take an old sponge, wet it and wring it out so it's basically just damp. Apply with that, evenly and cover well. Allow to dry a few, then buff with a soft terry cloth. Voila! Also, do not apply to hot plastic - let it cool off if it's been in the sun, etc.
