Got a little update for you guys. This isn't based on a timeframe or anything, but i noticed that UTTG was starting to look a little faded.
First here is a picture of both dressings before being wiped down with water. I must admit I'm still slightly annoyed that both of these products are dust/dirt magnets! Nothing a quick wipe won't fix, but other products out there don't suffer from this problem IME.
All cleaned up, here is the first picture that we can really see how much darker ETS looks now. They have both faded, but the UTTG is fading quite a bit more than the ETS. It's still there, but getting lighter by the day.
Here is a close up of both dressings. Again you can clearly see that the ETS is darker.
Here is a close up of the ETS, still looking pretty good compared to the undressed trim.
and here is the picture that truly shows how much the UTTG has faded. It was so hard to see that the UTTG was still there that I had to add a red line to show where the dressing started.
Now I'm not actually disappointed in either of these products. This trim was very faded, and hadn't been cared for in the early years of this vehicle. This was a true test of trim restoration, and not trim protection. That being said I don't think there is another dressing (not coating) on the market that would last as long as either of these products. In total it has been 53 days since these dressings were applied. Consider both are still there, thats pretty good in my book. I would assume by the next update the UTTG will be gone completely, but I have high hopes for the ETS.
Thanks for looking, and I look forward to your comments!
