Got mine in the mail yesterday. Will let everyone know how it works!

That's great, now we'll have this as a separate thread on this product, just like we have on R/R, Showroom New and TC Black Fusion.Quote:

From my Limited Experience, "Showroom New" is the BEST Product to Treat the Black Cladding !
I tried the wipe new and so far after having it on for a month and after two car washes, i can say that its doing what its supposed to do... sorry no pictures due to no working camera: (. The product seems to be great though.
I applied it to my truck last Monday. You have to apply it with long strokes that overlap each other's edges slightly....kind of like painting with a paintbrush, just with a microfiber towel. I watched the video on Wipe New's website to make sure I did it right.
Finished product was a little streaky in spots, but the cladding looked pretty damn good...better than anything I've used...including Back to Black, and Turtle Wax Ice.
I did apply it to the inside door panels, as shown on the video, but no real improvement, no different than Armor-All would have done.
The kit also comes with fine sandpaper, so I sanded down the haze on the plastic headlight cover, and applied it. Much better results than using Rain-X's headlight restoration kit.
You supposedly can do 2 cars according to the instructions....not so much. After applying two coats, I might have enough to do the bumpers of the girlfriend's Subaru.
However, we've had 2 severe rainstorms this week, and the shine is unaffected, with no spotting.
So far, so good...I do seem to recall someone posting that Wipe-New is good for about 3 months....so, we will see.
I see they even have a VX in the pics on there site and in the video. I'm surprised they didn't put it on the cladding.
the wife just came out of the tv room .she said she just saw a comercial on tv with a VX on it about some kind of restore product,,,,lol i told her i knew about it ..wow it gets out fast..soon my friends will tell me about it.
just wet over the video again .. the blue tape on that Volvo held up real good after 100 car washes.
Just curious, how is the new wipe holding up
Formula 303 seems to work well.
I'm curious about "the SHINE" you mentioned...is it really a shiny finish or how would you describe it?? The Showroom New dye has a matte look out of the sun, and somewhat of a sheen in the sun.Quote:

How long does the product say it will last? I thought I saw a "2 yr guarantee" logo on the bottle on the commercial.
Does it attract dust like Back to Black?
Excellent questions!
Sounds a lot like Armordillo TS-1...

Well, I answered this just a little late....too many threads on the topic....are we up to 8 now?
Regarding shine level, no different than Back to Black, or Turtle Ice.
However, does not have that static charge of other products I've used, so no turning into a rolling dust bunny of pollen and pollution...
So, it's been 4 months, parked exclusively outside....even through Hurricane Sandy.
Bottom line? So far, so good...and what I applied to the girlfriend's Forester looks like new, with the exception of the pebble-grain texture guard on the rear bumper...so I'm guessing the finer and tighter the emboss, the better Wipe-New is absorbed?
i have used "back to black" and it works great. I had to put a dew coats on it cause the sun damage was pretty bad but i havent had to add more and its been about 2 months.
hmm... u mus b parkn in a garage or in mild climate alot?? because my B to B barely survives a good rain or washn ?
Sounds like the Wipe New is very similar to the Showroom New dye, as both moreless say they're permanent. :thumbup:
And the application technique Ebony described sounds identical to what I, and others found with SN.
Here's the thread on Showroom New- in case you haven't seen it.

Its parked outside and normally about 60 or so for highs. I rubbed it in reall good and it lasts. Did you put it on in a cool place out of the sun? Maybe that is the difference. I followed the directions to a tee
Sue, they are refering to back to black not the wipe new product.
I clarified it…the 2 quotes made it sound like I was talking about B2B.Quote:

Had my Dragon professionally detailed. They used Wipe New on my cladding. They said it took 3 coats to get right. She sure looks great!
I'll be a lifelong B2B fan (even if I have to re-apply 3-4 times a year). I'm a sloppy detailer & I know that B2B doesn't harm the paint like other products do.
You just LOVE correcting me ... don't you!!!Quote:

I needed a guinea pig.. (thanks!) so.. now Im wondering it the rest of the cladding will match if I just do the whole kaboodle with Wipe New..
I just got Wipe New for XMAS. Won't be able to try it until spring/summer though.
