More samples!!

A very small sample (factory direct) of:

This amazing trim restorer is designed for any color exterior plastic such as on the MINI Cooper, Honda Element, Jeep Cherokee, Toyota Tacoma, and others, this gel will restore your trims natural color without the use of dyes or colorants and provides a rich, long lasting look (measured in months), proven by the water beading action. A couple applications may be needed for severly oxidized surfaces.
Stay tuned for your chance at this offering. I have 8 samples for distribution in for U.S. residents/mailing addresses.

Hey Patrick,

Would this stuff work good for the bottom plastic trim on the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe's? Ours still looks good since the SUV is pretty much brand new, but I was thinking that maybe I should pick some of this up with my next order. Any thoughts?

I've got no clue? It's just plastic trip on the bottom. I will have to take some pics and let you be the judge. Come to think of it, there's a lot of plastic on the front as well. I will try to get some pics tomorrow, and send them to you.

When samples are ready, be sure to count me in. I don't need it on my car, but I have been keeping my eye out for some cars to test this on. A friend has an early 90's ford Taurus and a few other oldies but goodies (JK) that can use some blackening. I'll be sure to put this stuff to the true test.

I've tried most every product for the care of black plastic- this one is the best by a country mile (and some)

Black Wow - designed for any colour exterior plastic, this gel will restore your trims natural colour without use of dyes or colorants and provides a rich, long lasting look. What you want to do is thoroughly clean the plastic with a cleaner like rubbing alcohol, Dupont PrepSol, IPA or other chemical solvent for oxidation and / or wax/polish removal, with a medium-soft brush before allying a protective dressing.

Directions - apply a pea sized amount to the foam applicator pad and massage it into your trim. You will see an instant improvement in darkness and evenness in tone. Continue to spread this out. Always work with pea sized amounts. The final look should be matte, not glossy and wet. There is no need to let BW dry or cure. Once applied, remove the excess with a towel or proceed to wash the car and using a wash mitt or sponge to wipe down the trim. Dry with a separate towel from the one you use to dry the paint-

As with all products, results depend on condition being applied to. An additional application may be needed for better results.
Jon, thanks for your input!
