I seen it for sale in Walmart last week for $19,95
Yeah now only if they didn't charge an arm and a leg for a product that you can buy anywhere for less. Plus the customer service is abismal.
it doesn't leave it all oily?
Pics, please? I don't mean anything by it, but you're new here, and both your posts are extolling this stuff, after we've had members that said it's crappy.
Yes, I want to see proof and how well it holds up to weathering.Quote:

Google for wipe new scam before you buy anything from them.

Stuff is CRAP! I put it on my VX then spent about 700$ on 100 car washes back to back just as advertised in the commercial.
The owner of the shop was thrilled!
Took the paint RIGHT OFF the VX!!?? and the Blue tape was riped off after ONE car wash -_- So I'm out 719.99$ I feel cheated O.o
ROFLQuote:

Funny part is that I used to gripe so much about that commercial (the blue tape part holding up to 100+ car washes) that Wifey started changing the channel every time it came on.
I had my VX professionally detailed before winter set in last year. They used Wipe New on the cladding with wonderful results. She went through the winter and was rarely in a garage... And today STILL looks good. If you do it right... IT WORKS!
Crazy thing is...after TONS of threads started on this damn product. not ONE PIC!..crazy.
does anyone have a pic to show how it came out?
x1000!Quote:

Why would anyone take pics ...cladding looks good when its wet.once it dries it gives a faded look..suit yourselves..I think its awesome stuff..and I am a vx owner..haven't had time to post pics
I've seen better PR trolls for Michael Jackson's "Sleep over sing a long" album.Quote:

Why would I join a site dedicated to the vx and not own one? Really?
Suit yourselves..iv think its awesome. .. and it says right on the directions.. do not get on paint.. I guess u can't fix stupid
You're not off to a good start in our community. Most "VX owners" joining a new site would opt to introduce themselves here first. Instead you went right into starting a new thread with little information other than, "I'm a new member, trust me blindly." :rolleyes:Quote:

Wonder why we're skeptical? Check out this thread...

I'm not saying trust me. . Do Wat u want. .I have had good results wIth this product. . Thought I will let ppl know. .ok my name is derek..live in Washington. .I hsve an 01 proton.. had it since August of last year
heavy,
Sorry that we attacked you personally. We're glad that you are a VX enthusiast like us & welcome you to the family.
The attack was actually against spammers in general. Since you had so few posts & didn't check back into your thread, it threw up all of the red flags that scream "SPAM".
Glad the WipeNew worked for you but unfortunately other members have had a bad experience with it.
"... and it says right on the directions.. do not get on paint.. I guess u can't fix stupid"
That's the part that scares me. I'm a messy detailer. I'll just keep on using Back 2 Black since I can schlep that stuff everywhere & it won't hurt paint. Thanks for your input though.
I understand and I see where u all are coming from
If you guys want to see how its holding up after 1 year, you can got to my Gallery and see my pics,
Looks grest whitebread! Are those oem rims?

You just have to work on your approach is all. I've read your post where you say you understand how you came across, and am glad you are able to see that now.
If it's your enthusiasm to contribute that got the better of you, then definitely try to channel it in ways that will be appreciated and not come off as spammy. For example, sharing your own experiences with the VX, like how long you've had it, where you've been, what you want to do with it, what you regret and so forth would go a long way to not just contributing but also helping us to get to know you better.
And leave the advertising to the paid pitchmen.
See you around,
-V
Just an FYI....calling the sole group of people that can help you get parts, provide input on and products for your vehicle "stupid" would not bode well for your future here. Might want to check the 'tude at the door, my man.
Other than that, welcome aboard :)
gee, kinda reminds me of "leonml" :rollo:Quote:

Nor does it appear you've used the "search" function at all, otherwise you'd know the answers to every question you've asked on this forum so far.

You ppl are full of yourselves..just bcuz I make a comment about how wipe new worked for me..u jump down my throat..sorry if u ppl are to stupid to use the product.your fault not mine..do ****** sorry I didn't use search function..what a bunch of ********
Sooo....I have to side with Heavy D here...
After his initial reaction and our re-reaction, he quickly apologized and began posting in occordance with how you would expect someone to act on a vehicross forum.
Read through the list of all posts made by Heavy D. Start from the bottom and read up. You can read exactly what happened. He posted about wipe new, we took it as spam and reacted to a spammer, he reacted to us reacting to him, then after an explanation, he applogized and saw where we were coming from, then after he got bombarded with more negative comments, he went back on the defensive.
http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sea...earchid=538115
I believe people have reacted to his early comments after he has already "turned himself arround"
To be honest I was impressed by his immediate humility.
He is now back on the defense because you can only be pushed down and get back up so many times before you fight back.
VX Kat, I have to politely disagree. I dont think he is ANYTHING like leonml.
Welcome Heavy D. Like a family get together that starts in fisticuffs and ends in beer drinking.....this too will pass. Stick with us.
Welcome Heavy D. There are very cool people on this very informative forum, and you will find that VehiCROSS.info is a great meeting place for fans of the VX. That said... WHATEVER you do, DO NOT ask what color the hood insert is!Quote:

It takes a lot for someone to make through the spam check... I get several mails a week about how someone is getting picked off by the system. Usually, just a better user name choice solves the problem.. heavy d doesn't qualify by the standards as a spammer. That said....
heady d, welcome to the site, I'm sorry things got off to a rough start but, this is a very protective family that you just joined and especially with a male dominated population, feathers can get ruffled pretty easily.. I'm sure you will find a mass of good info as well as good folks. Your introduction was a little trolly, but I digress and apologize for the reactions
Again, welcome!!
Scott
Opinion/information has definitely varied here regarding the Wipe New product. Glad to hear some have had good results with it though since I too am always on the lookout for a cladding product that provides longer lasting results than what I use now.Quote:

The good news is that now that you've seen the bad attitude that this particular site has to offer, there's just about nowhere to go but in a more positive direction. Welcome to the site, and don't allow the initial responses you received to make you hesitate to keep offering those new VX product evaluations.
No they are not but I plastidipped them lolQuote:
