    I will order some ARO now that I know, but is there something similar I could purchase locally? Would a tire cleaner work in a pinch?

    Ultima Protectant over Black wow?

    I was wondering too if it would have bonding issues with the UTTG. I never considered applying multiple times, this might be the problem as the plastic trim that I applied the Black Wow to was quite faded, so maybe its the dry sponge effect and just needs to slowly soak it up? I am hoping thats...

    Restoring finish on diamond plate toolbox

    Thanks for the advice, I have seen similar products and I think I will pick one up next time, as what I used worked out pretty good, but probably wouldnt have taken as long if I had the right pad.

    Durable sealant for black?

    lol, so you guys just made my decision very tough by throwing all these great options at me. Would there be any problem with applying Collinite 845 over a PB Blackhole glaze? I read somewhere (maybe on this site not sure) that the chemicals in Collinite may reduce the swirl filling/hiding...
