Very nice Phil. How long will the Black WOW typically last?

Love it Phil.

But guess what? You did it again!

You posted the pictures of your washing the tires/rims and applying the tire dressing before washing the car. LOL

Its all good. Cars looks great!

Re: Detailer's Domain: Mitsubish Evo/Swissvax

Thanks everyone.

Dave, the Black wow usually last awhile, it can last months before it wears down or fades. (from my experience.)
