This review is for the BLACKFIRE Total Trim and Tire Sealant (BTTTS) that was given away to forum members (THANKS!!!). Also I am comparing it to Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant (WETS).
Vehicle: 1997 Honda Accord
This vehicle is VERY neglected and I honestly don’t remember the last time it was washed. It sits outside 24/7 and I use it to drive back and forth to work only. It has clear coat failure on the roof, hood, left fender and front bumper cover. The trim is very faded so I figured it would be the ultimate test. Photos were taken with my crappy cell phone camera.
Treatment areas: Top of the front license plate frame & Passenger door pillars
Both products are $19.99 for a four ounce bottle. Very little product was needed and both bottles should last a long while.
BTTTS: BLACKFIRE Total Trim & Tire Sealant, plastic trim restorer, tire coating, long lasting tire shine
The BTTTS has an almost shampoo like consistency and a slight lilac/purple color. It has a light chemical smell, but it is not over powering.
WETS: Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant, rubber trim sealant, rubber protectant, exterior trim products, metal sealer
The WETS has a thinner consistency and a slight greenish/clear color. It has a stronger chemical smell.
Each test area was scrubbed 5 times using a 4:1 dilution of Mother’s APC.
First up is the front license plate frame. This is a lightly textured plastic.
Before
I applied the BTTTs to the right side and on the left side I applied WETS.
Coating #1 of BTTTS
Coating #2 BTTTS
Coating #1 of WETS
Coating #2 WETS
At this point I really liked the WETS. After waiting about 10 minutes I checked the results
It seems the BTTTS penetrated more and produced a darker color.
Next up is the Passenger door pillars. This is a smooth, non-textured plastic.
Before
Again I used the BTTTS on the right side and the WETS on the left.
Coating #1 of BTTTS
Coating #2 BTTTS
Coating #1 of WETS
Coating #2 WETS
Again the BTTTS won out.
In the end for me the BTTTS produced a darker, more restored color on the test areas. Again this is a test on extremely faded and neglected plastic. Both products were easy to use and I will have no problem using either on my new 2014 Nissan Rogue, which has tons of exterior plastic trim.
