I was one of the recipients to try out some new products. The first one up is Blackfire All In One Trim & Tire Protectant.
First off Mike Phillips has a great review on this product as well.

When I opened up the box of goodies and came across this one, I was like this is an interesting product. It sounds good and all. But I was skeptical about it's performance given that it's an AIO.
I was also short 1 sprayer but I won't give Nick a hard time about that lol. I have a few spares lying around so no biggie.
As I read the instructions on the back a few more times I started to think, this would make a great product when rinseless washing and not wanting to bring out the brush, bucket, wheel cleaner and tire dressing. Seeing Mike's review up top gave me even more confidence in it's performance.
I was at my brothers place and I took it with me to give it a go on his tires as he just washed it earlier in the day. I used a microfiber towel to apply it on to the tires. I buffed the tire to remove any excess product. His car is my test subject so he will be the test for durability on tires.
Here's a before shot
Here's an after shot. Notice the hint of sheen.
Here's a closer view of the tire before
Close up after. Definite improvement.
I ended up going around and applying it to all his tires. I would say I spent about 10 mins or less doing all 4 tires.
He's working on a 74 Chevy Pick up. The tires on this have not been dressed in years. I gave this product a shot on them.
Close up what they looked like.
Here's the after
Here's a 50/50
Here's the completed tire
And finally I have this piece of trim that I picked up at the salvage yard. It's been sitting outside for months. I used a microfiber towel on this one as well. I did not rinse it prior to using the AIO. It definitely has some very good cleaning power.

Final thoughts
This product is great. It's so easy to use. Simply wipe on and buff off. It's that simple. It's also a fast way to dress the tires and trim. This is perfect for those who rinseless wash a lot or don't have access to water.
This is a must have in my book. A solid performer for cleaning and dressing. I can't comment on durablity just yet but so far it looks promising. Plus it's not that big of a deal because it doesn't take that long to reapply.
A few more details about it. The color of it is light blue. It has a great scent. Reminds me of blue bubble gum ice cream. The scent is not overly powerful. The consistency is milky. It does spray out nicely.
You can pick some up here.
