COME AT ME BRO
Packaging: Very nice bottle with catchy black, red, and chrome label. 12 ounces. Flip-top dispenser, which allows for very precise product placement on the applicator.
Product: Product is a white “lotion” with a smell that reminded me of hair conditioner/pina coloda. It is more of a thick/viscous product as compared to some other vinyl and rubber products from off-the-shelf, which seem to be a little watery.
Directions: Broken down into interior and exterior on the label. Relatively concise and to the point. “Apply a small amount of VRT to the detail sponge” could be misleading, depending on what you think a small amount is. I found that I needed to vary the “small amount” depending on what I was applying to. I think I will just have to play with the amounts and see if I can find what is the “right” amount.
Detail Sponge: This sponge came in the kit. I found it to be a little big for interior needs, so decided to cut a thin piece off it to use for interior while keeping the bigger piece for tires/exterior.
Interior Ease of Use: Applied a “small” amount to the outer rim of the slim pad, similar to applying product to the pad of a PC. Squeezed the foam app, and applied to the dash and all vinyl in the cabin. Applies very easily, but I found that I needed to buff with a MF to get the low-gloss look that I like (as suggested on directions). After completing application on the interior, it left a good smell inside. Seems that VRT does not attract dust.
Exterior Ease of Use: Applied about the same amount on the big foam app in the same fashion as the interior. Applied to mud flaps, plastic on the bumper, front valance, and tires. Again, very easy to apply with the foam app, EXCEPT for the tires. This is due to the tires on the vehicle (BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA’s), which are very “luggy” on the outer portion of the tire. I have not found anything that is easy to apply to these that won’t sling except for Teflon Tire Shine. However, I went ahead with the task at hand and applied the VRT to the tires. Gave a good deep, low-gloss shine to the tires. It has not slung and I have driven about 50 or so miles with it on the tires. Seems to be holding up good, only time will tell.
Overall, I think the VRT is a very good product, which gives excellent results. I would recommend it for those who like low-gloss as I found that it looks a lot better after being buffed. I will probably not use it on the tires again, but I think VRT would work well on low profile tires or tires with a little less aggressive design as mine. I will continue to use this on the interior of my truck.
