All cleaned up with "WipeNew"

[Xlr8n]

alrock- From your description, it sounds like this is almost a finish coating something like a thin floor wax rather than a greasy residue wipe like armor all?? How would you describe it?

 

[alrock]

So far I like it. My feedback on e issues were user related, not product related. I would say that it does leave a protective coating, not greasy, not waxy, but harder like a thin urethane. (it isn't a urethane but I can't think of a more relevant example.) I would describe it as two products in one : one that enriches the plastic and another that adds a protective layer

Did my first Hummer wash with this stuff on, had some dirt on the front bumper part and back plastic bumper fender thing, and to my amazement, it still is holding up strong! I scrubbed the panels pretty hard to clean them up, but still it's the first wash so far, will do another wash in a couple more weeks...

I used it last weekend. Went out on the trails the next day and washed it the day after that. This stuff is pretty dang good. My h3 looks so much nicer now.

Dang, you guys sold me on this, need some for my silverado!!

Okay, I'm about a month in after applying the product. No rain but probably 3 car washes and a lot of time in the AZ sun. The color of the plastic trim has not changed since I applied it, except perhaps to show how I didn't apply the product very evenly. It reminds me a bit of a wood stain/poly combo in that it needs to be applied evenly for an even finish, and then it provides a protective layer.

So far I'm still liking it.

Looks great! :thumbs:

Just bought some at Wally World today. I'll be sure to post my thoughts on it once I've used it as well.

Thanks OP... picked this up today. Works great. Hopefully it lasts awhile. I had some trim that was fading and it made everything look like new. Also tried it on my 95 mustang which had some really badly faded trim pieces... not anymore!

I bought the Turtle brand of plastic cleaner today to try on some plastic chairs and it worked. Then I tried it on my 95 Dodge PU bumpers and it really brought them back. I will see how that lasts before I try it on the H3.

I'll have to get some of this. It's about time for my semi-annual HUMMER wash.

Wipe New - one year later. Took some pics yesterday to see how this product has held up. My H3 is in the sun most of the day and the D pillars face south, so they get a lot of sun.

The product has held up well though of course it isn't perfect. I think the pictures show that I applied it well to the D pillars but didn't do that good of a job on the roof trim. Not too bad overall since nothing else has been applied in the last 12 months.

May 2014. Didn't hold up as well on the roof trim but I may have applied it too sparingly.

I also decided to try Armor All Outlast, their 100 wash product that's well, supposed to last a long time. ($14 at O'Reilly) It applies like regular Armor All and really soaks in, so much so that it's hard to tell how well it's being applied. Here are some before and after shots. The pics don't do it great justice. These items moved from a medium and light gray to medium dark. It looks better in person, but not terrific. Wipe New looks much better after application. I'm more curious to see if this product stands up over time.

It really helped the front end, including my bedliner grill

Nice, so far wipe new is the best? I was told to use a product called black restore by bondo. It's a bottle and a sponge and u scrub the stuff in the bottle onto the plastic and it works great. TJ fender flares are notorious for looking nasty, almost like a chalky grey and my buddy's fenders look brand new. Last time he touched it up was about 6 months ago. I wonder how long they will last

So wipe new is the good stuff? My A pillars and roof moldings are starting to become white from how bad the sun has been treating em! I need to restore em bad!

 

[alrock]

Best stuff I've used. It is like two products in one- darkening and then a protective layer

Wipe new works great. Ive had it on my a pillars for a year and it still looks good and my truck is not garage kept.

Thought I'd add some to this old thread. Still working well for me. Not flawless, but the stuff lasts about a year or more vs. a month with many other products. I also just applied it to my Gobi wind deflector.

 

[3Hummers]

I will have to try some. I have been using VinylX

 

[Pappibri]

Works awesome.

 

[scoreh3]

I really like it , so far everything is staying black after about 5 months .

 

[RamRod]

Does it work on painted surfaces or just plastic?

I use this stuff too. It works and last longer than anything else. I also put it on my headlights and fogs.

 

[Odimus]

Something that actually works. Just saw it at the local Walmart for 15$$$. When I install my led bar I'll treat the plastics while they are off. How does Wipe compare to the heat gun approach?

 

[3Hummers]

Making a trip to get some today. Trim on the H3 is in need of a refresh.

Purchased the Wipe New awhile back, but never got around to using it. Finally found some time and did my A & D pillars and roof rails, along with my hood louvers, mirror bases, and lower rocker/sill area. Great stuff; looks really good. Hopefully, it will last the test of time. Gonna go ahead and do the bumpers next.
