Dan it seems good mate, my car is garaged so doesnt seethe sun much, the product is very economical i.e. doesnt take much to apply to all points of the car. It would last a fair while I'd say.

It is quite sheeny and I have just run over the whole car again with a dry cloth and it seems to do the trick.

And yes Wombie photos coming..I have no time on my hands at the moment

Its difficult to get a convincing shot, it is much better in real life.

Yes it does mate it is quite amazing as I have had trouble with polish marks for ages and have never been able to find something that will get them off.

Came up nicely Wom-bat-hat.

I'm very interested to know if it runs during rain. I gave up trying these trim products a while ago because they all ran in the rain and left oily streaks everywhere. Hopefully this one is better.

I hope so mate,Mr Tassie Hat has been using this stuff a while now so maybe he can comment on that side of things.This product is a lot thicker in it's consistency and on application is nothing like any other product i have used thus far.

You can pm Greg (Car Care Products) and i'm sure you will get a no bs answer from him.

Hiya Fellas.

I'm going to put in a little order myself for this magic potion - despite the difficulties in getting photos to convey the true effect, I can see it makes a good difference. Unfortunately my car spends most of its time in the elements, and much of my exterior blacks are showing the signs.

Just a word to the guys having difficulties getting wax residue off the plastics - I use good old "Wax & Grease remover", otherwise known as Prepsol. I'm not sure if I'm doing damage, but I can't see any - I used to have problems with wax residue on the plenum cover at the back of the bonnet, but got rid of every trace with Prepsol. Gave it all a good wash afterward to get rid of any residue from the solvent, and it doesn't seem to have troubled anything too much - no discolouration or fading any more than any other bits anyhow.

If anyone knows otherwise please tell me to pull my bloody head in here, I'd hate for a bad practice of mine to rub off on someone else... :bash:

So its been 4 months since I first applied the product and I think it now needs another coat. Thats after washing the car at least once a fortnight. So the durability is very good to excellent and apllication is a sinch. It isnt cheap but I doubt you'd have to buy a bottle more than once every 5 years, so really it is good value and the results are well worth it.:bravo:

Good stuff Rob ... is it greasy at all ? I had my car detailed once (not by Dan) and they used this stuff on the black plastics that was greasy as anything, gave me the shits for weeks afterwards.

If this stuff isn't greasy I might have to give it a go sometime ... :giveup:

My order of Black WOW arrived in yesterdays mail and today I got busy with the cars. Started on mine first and the results where FANTASTIC. Later I did the wifes 07 Honda CR-V, this thing has heaps of plastic all over the bottom of it. It worked wonders for the car, even removed the occasional oops with the wax applicator over the plastic. Her car looks even better than the day it was purchased.

I was very surprised that when it's rubbed in well there was no noticeable greasy feeling.

Cheers,
Steve ;)

You will love it mate.

It leaves a slight residue but I just run a clean cloth over it once I have completed the car and it comes up nice. I saw a vid where they used some cardboard to isolate the black plastic from the duco which I reckon is a great idea too:woot:
