Black Plastic Dressing

Have any of you guys used the product that I've seen on TV call Wipe New? You use it on you black plastics and it suppose to last a long time. Non greasy and a deep dark color.

I saw the comercial and the first thing I thought was Snake Oil - like the Shamwow

Would be interested to hear from others as it appears to be a great product

I would be interested in knowing how well this stuff works. When I first saw the commercial, I was thinking Snake Oil too.

I have had good luck with Bondo Restore Black.

I got the idea for using Bondo Restore Black from this thread: 750 dollars and a day with my X - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®



I got the restore black at wally world for $10. It was real easy to apply.

The bezels before:



The bezels after:



The restore black comes with a pretty big applicator, so I used some foam brushes I got at wally world. I got the assortment pack so I would have all different sizes when I apply the restore black to the bumpers & trim:



The instructions say it will last for six months. The bezels have been on the truck since July 8th of this year and they look as good as the day I put them on!!

I picked up some of this stuff at wally-world. I did just 1 coat on the bed rail liners and it looks really nice without the 'greasy' look. Will use it again this weekend!

I think that Wipe New stuff is just Mop-N-Glow in a different bottle. Every decade or so the stuff gets pushed under a new name for a new purpose.
