    on black bumper trim??? It`s water soluable so it can`t be too bad. It has a built in foam applicator that makes it easy to apply only where you want it. Leaves a nice matt finish, not too glosy, not too dull. Cheap and easy.



    What am I missing, or should I buy a truck load and repackage with Steve`s Miracle Trim Restorer???:nixweiss

    What does it look like after a wash or rain storm? I`m curious since I need a good trim blackener too. Thanks

    Doesn`t "Kiwi" make shoe polish also? So it could possibly be the same thing.... Huh :nixweiss

    Better yet....what about Black Again on your shoes?

    I`l admit that before my wife and I went out for dinner a couple of weeks ago I quickly sprayed QD on my shoes!

    HA HA, You know you`re Autopian when.... you`re car cleaning products take over the role of your regular home products.







    Hmm, I wonder when I`ll start eating my Souveran. I can always chase it down with some Crystal Mist Pina Colada`s.

    stove top every time we cook....which is not often mind you. It works great with a MF towel. No streaks at all and takes care of the grease too!:xyxthumbs



    I can`t remember who it was, but about a year ago someone posted a photo of their bathroom after a full Klasse treatment with a PC!



    It`s raining here today & tomorrow, just like they predicted, so I should know more on the durability of the Kiwi on Sun. when I get to wash again.

    I did the same thing before a black tie party. I couldn`t find my shoe polish and I was running late, so I went in the garage and grabbed some 303. The shoes looked great! In fact, I got two compliments that night about how my shoes had the perfect gloss. Not too shiny but still looking well mainainted.

    After a couple of days of rain and a wash with Z7 over the weekend, the Kiwi still looks pretty good! No streaks, and better yet, no black stripes on my Micro Fiber towels while drying!!!:scared



    I`m amazed that this has worked so well and I will continue to monitor the lasting power. If anything changes, I`ll let you know.:xyxthumbs

    DON`T try this at home! :shocked The Kiwi started to peel off after a week and now has to be touched up on a regular basis. I guess it`s back to the drawing board. Now if I can only figure out what to use to REMOVE all of the polish without damaging anything:nixweiss

    hmmm How about ProWax`s Power Lift Fallout Remover! That should take care of the kiwi!



    Why not just use Forever Black? I have some of that I`m about to try out in the next few days. Gonna wait until I get all the polishing done on my truck though. No sense in using it and then getting polish on the trim so it has to be redyed.
