    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'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.

    How long does it take to dry?

    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?
