I just want to let you know that on my 2nd pump I actually pushed in my bottle and broke the top and it slipped outta my hand. About half of it landed oozed out on the ground. I picked it up and ended up cleaning out a container from the container store that had nanowax. i was able to get out the majority (99.9%) of it with stoners xenit... but my sample could be slightly tainted with nanowax and xenit.

The worst part was, the trim gel was the one i was looking foward to the most -.-

I used one of those black and yellow contoured tire swipes

1. How easy/difficult is RDF Tire & Trim Sealant Gel to apply?
It was pretty easy, especially tires, it was easier to spread around than I am used to.

2. How do your tires/trim look with RDF Tire & Trim Sealant Gel compared to you favorite product?

With out buffing off the gel on the tires it was pretty wet... even my back tires which generally dont respond to these types of dressings looked pretty good.

3. Color and richness of tires/trim after each wash. How much did the color/richness fade?
Other than the initial 'super wet shine' the nice dark shimmer has stayed though 2 washes.

4. If car is exposed to the elements, how many weeks did Tire & Trim Sealant last (keep trim looking good)?

[EDIT 10/24]
The day after I applied it it rained... but still held up. It kept its dark look but wasnt as shiney, but the goal was to hold up a matte look which it did. Also I'll let you know but the temps here have been freeze frosting over my car, tomarrow I'll see if it held up though 2 nights of that.
[END EDIT]

[EDIT 10/26]
Other than the initial 'super wetness' a nice matte sheem has lasted though 2 harsh rains, and 2 frosts.
[END EDIT]

5. What would you like to see changed to make RDF Tire & Trim Sealant Gel better?
a nice scent, maybe the package could include 3 lil packs of scent and users can pick one and pour it in initially and mix/shake it so you dont have to be like hi-temp and have inventory of a grape or cherry and such.

I like the pump application. (though i dunno if it was the bottle, my 'strength', or the dressing weakening the bottle that made it brake)

EDIT: PICS - After 2 rains and 2 frosts and one nice day.
