I got it long time ago...it works with alot of work, an then when I went to the car wash it ruined it the first time, think it was the soap. Never used it again...heres what I used that worked alot better....FUTURE FLOOR WAX...comes in clear liquid bottle, just light sanding, then apply a coat, let dry, then more coats if you want, then just touch up when need to. I've turned old pink plastic into bright red again in just minutes.

LOL....I'm still a young 51....when I raced in my 40's I was still beating most of the young wipper snappers in cross country races. An I'm still debating racing the Ironman this month here in IN in the Super Senior Class just for the fun of it....I'll at least be there again to watch.

Nothing I have ever used will duplicate the factory shinyness. I tried sanding and that was a miserable failure. Also tried to do the plastic renew-it works for like 2-3 rides and its done.

What does work? Primer paint with a flex agent and then paint with a flex agent then like 5 clear coats.

I spray armor all on everything after i wash it and leave it sit. It settles in about 20 minutes and looks new. Obviously doesnt take.out.scratches but shines it up real nice. Ive looked.for more permanent remedy but there just isnt one. Black especially, after a few runs through brush it almost looks like a white mist on it. Wetsanding helps, but looks horrible when dry/no protectant on it.
