   Has anyone had any experience with using shoe polish as a black restorer. I recall someone on here mentioning it, saying it was good to recall black to grills, rub strips etc?

   It can work but i've heard Baby oil is the best household product for rub strips
   
   Also, probably best to post this kind of question in the car care and detailing section!
