Black WOW

[OctaneGuy]

Sorry. Try these. I don't think AG has used these in their BW advertising.

I demoed this at the Dragon in 2007.

This customer swore by 303 until I put BW on top of it side by side

This is a treated fender

This fender wasn't treated yet

This fender was half treated--only the front lower portion

Finished off

Thxs. for posting, but the pic. are really dark. BW is an awesome product.

I'm going to have to try that Al. My Ford F150 has imfamious Ford fad. The truck looks great except for the exterior plastic which looks like crap.

Yeh I don't know what Ford uses for its trim, especially wiper cowls, trim fades fairly quick but whatever they use in the making process, the trim rejects basically every product, I've tried so many things and the only one that worked for now was AA Extreme Gel.

Definitely trying Black Wow now

so this stuff is for the black trim around the windows and door trim?

 

[OctaneGuy]

It's for all exterior plastic trim of any color. Not for use on steps/treads and anywhere you might step on because it will be slippery.

There are also no dyes, so it will restore the natural color of the trim, not just black.

It's not for tires because it doesn't last long. For exterior rubber pieces, it will make it look better but won't last as long. The surface is "quenched" by BW and stays there. Rubber tends to be too porous, so BW can't keep it hydrated.

BW looks like it does an amazing job in the pictures. What if you get some on your paint? Would a quick detailer spray and mf clothe be enough to take care of it or would the car need washed? Or is it best to tape off the paint?

 

[OctaneGuy]

If you get it on your paint, it looks like an oily smudge. You need to wipe it and use some QD and keep turning the towel until it comes off. It tends to get pushed around a lot. It won't hurt the paint, but it's persistent and that's why it lasts so long on your trim.

Washing the car was an option I suggested during the early days of BW, but since then, using a dry or slightly damp towel seems to be more commonly used.

I wouldn't tape off the paint. Use the included Trim Masking Card to act as a barrier and you will never have to worry about the paint.

:whs: Got it on the list for the next order to use on my Ford Expy.

I recently used it on a '93 Explorer where the gray cladding had turned almost white from the sun and years of neglect. It restored it instantly! At two weeks it looked like the day I did it and I have no reason to think that will change as time passes. I am positively sold on Blk Wow.

This may be the product I've been looking for to use on faded Jeep Wrangler fender flares. A friend of mine has a blue Jeep with what looks like gray trim. I'd like to see how Black WOW handles these flares.

What type of oils are used in this product?

AG should use these pics for advertisement. I agree with you. Perfect visual example of what people are looking to see. Great job!

 

[OctaneGuy]

It's silicone based, if that's how you're asking how it restores the trim. It doesn't not leave a greasy or oily film behind when applied as directed.

Take a look at these pix of two different Jeeps. One with black plastic fenders.

Black Wow on right side (untreated on left)

Same color trim but on the door.

The owner of this jeep used about 1/2 of the little sample bottle as viewed in the first 3 pix. That sample bottle contains 1/4 oz of BW. Half of that means he used 1/8 oz for his entire Jeep--front bumper, mirrors, roof rack, rear bumper, door trims. Considering that there is more than 5 oz of BW per bottle--it's labeled as 4oz-- for 1oz of product you'll have 8 applications. An entire bottle should provide anywhere from 32 to 40+ applications per bottle. Although the average application lasts for several months, even if you applied it monthly, a single bottle should provide 32 to 40 months or 2-1/2 to 3+ years. The math is provided here for those that think BW is expensive. Given these figures, I think it's a great value.

Here ya go, '96 Dodge Pick-Up

Im very impressed by the pictures, and just placed an order and included a bottle of this stuff in the order. I am really looking forward to trying it out on my truck.

Thanks for the pictures and the information, and I will post results (whenever the weather here in Pa decides to come back to spring!)

Thanks for the pictures. That's a day and night difference. The Jeep I have in mind is even worse than this one.

How long is this going to last on the Jeep fender flares? Do you think heating the trim up before applying the product will work better? Can I top the product off with another trim protectant? When? Would Optimum Opti-seal work over Black Wow? Thanks.

 

[OctaneGuy]

Of course it depends on environmental conditions but it's going to last longer than any other non dye based trim product, and it will look better and more even than any dye based product.

One of my customers told me that his Jeep fenders have lasted through two long snow storms and still look as good as the he put it on.

A user with a MINI Cooper said his has lasted 4 months in the hot Nevada heat.

I don't recommend topping it off,, you risk contaminating BW on successive applications. I'm not sure why you would since BW lasts longer than any protectant anyways. If a month or couple months isn't long enough, then just put on a little more BW. Once the fender is treated, maintenance applications will require less BW. And if you use the same applicator pad, you can actually use a saturated pad to continue application because BW never actually dries, but it's not greasy to the touch either when applied as directed.

I don't know if Optimum Opti Seal would work--does it seal silicone? I don't know many products that can bond to silicone.

Budman..when I did the bad trim....after a week I used a trim product over it....and it still looks great....I think I used the DG 201....on my ATV the fender flares were faded also and I use BW on them and after a week I used Megs #40 i believe and it sits out most of the time and they look great....I think the added trim product sort of locks in the BW and keeps it looking good...works for me anyways...

BW is great stuff...

PS....I found using a Magic eraser over the oxidixed trim first really made a difference....took off the junky stuff and made a nice surface for the BW to work on...

Thanks Richard and Al.
