"Showroom New" Trim Restorer- info & experience

[Hcloud13]

So I went ahead and used the showroom new!
I went with full on Black. I know about the big Dark Geay/Black debate when they were new,but I think it was black if you look at all the original promo images when the VX first came out....it was black.
Also I've talked to a couple owners who got the VX new and they say it was black also.
Anyway here is my views on the stuff.
First off it was a bitch to not get any streaks. Don't waste your time trying to use the brush lol.

After I was done it looks GREAT!!! better than anything I've ever used.

Now here is one MAJOR issue I have with it.... It scratches off very easy.

I prepped the panels to a T. trust me as I do body work.
It's not so much of a dye as it is a paint.
These pics are 3 weeks old by the way.
It holds up to car washing just fine,just don't touch at as it will flake off with a fingernail.

P.S I also did the hood insert.

Looks good. Black and shiny. I guess better that the Wipe New you tried before?

I guess I'm sticking with the Krylon Fusion paint solution based on the below posts...

I wonder if something changed, be it cladding material or the product. Mine is defintely not like paint. Covered in mud, pressure washed, car washes, no peeling or scratches except a few spots that were deep from tree limbs.

I was thinking the same thing Marlin. Mine only comes off with tree branches and stupid fab techs making tail light guards
Remember too, out of frustration I ended up sanding my front driver corner and the filings were dark gray and the cladding were sanded was still the new dark gray, telling me the dye had penetrated in a fair distance.
