First posting of a detail I did. 88' BMW E28 M5

Wow, amazing recovery on that M5! It came out really glossy and deep.

Kumho Ecstas are actually pretty good tires. They're often used in the tuner world so they aren't by any means budget. When budget tires come to mind, I think of bi-directional non-brand name tires.

I've had great success with Black WOW and PB's Trim Restorer isn't bad either.

Thanks for looking out. I actually did not want to use anything on this visit in hopes of finding something thats not so greasy in feel and look. So far everything I've tried washes off and leaves streaks and/or is too greasy and attracts dust and dirt like flies on !@#$. Is there something out there you guys are pleased with that looks great on faded hard plastics like this?

If I had to pick something to use I would try Black Wow. Even though I just started using it and am having some "learning curve" issues with it....it looks like something that will last a really long time. Just make sure you follow the instructions!!

Looks so much better then before, you did a great job on a 20yr old M5!

BMW autocrossers are all about Kumho MX's. Killer tire for the money. Big grip, low price. Kumho makes a very good product--just not as blingy as Pirelli or Michelin.

Anyway, amazing work on such a rare bird. From disastrous to gorgeous.

Thanks for the kind comments everybody.

As for the Black Wow, I have a small bottle and tried it once. Luckily it was applied to a friends truck. For one it was kind of a challenge to get it on evenly. (Smooth plastics. Textured trim wasn't really a problem.) It also left the door handles very greasy to the touch even after 3 days after application. The residual was wiped off when let set for almost an hour but even that threw the evenness off and had reapply to get it decent. It also attracted dust. But the main complaint was that it was greasy to the touch even after days of application.
