The pillars are metal that look either painted or anodized black, unless Im way wrong (common !!)

don't use back to black on your b & c pillars, they're painted metal not rubber/vinyl. I just wash and wax them like any other painted surface, they just need some heavy waxing to come up looking new. for some reason they deteriorate fast.

Not certain about that BMW product, but the Mother's Back to Black product is not a dye. A dye will be the same color as the intended result, Back to Black is an opaque white.

What you're trying to do on your B&C pillars is stop and hopefully reverse oxidation. That's what Back to Black does. It's best on plastic, rubber or vinyl, and I can only confirm my good results using it on the exterior B&C pillars.

I agree with others here that a real good wash and wax is the first thing to try.
