    Have either of you (CP or Sue) tried to use this stuff on roof racks, spoilers, door handles, etc?

    I did door handles, very lightly and yes, it did act like it was cladding. I also skipped doing the mirrors, rails, spoiler or insert as I didn't think it would absorb the same, since it seems to be s shiny, smooth, denser "plastic".

    Did you buy gray or just black? Are you mixing color? just curious.... and yes the gray is thicker, so the mfg told me to add the black TO the gray when I mixed it.

    I am going all black. My VX is already all blacked out so I figure the blacker the better. As long as it isn't shiny, I'll be happy.

    Showroom new eliminates the need for any kind of armorall type product. It makes the plastic and not shiny. Good stuff. Mud has no effect on it. Still nice and black.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Gotta believe that if you don't treat it with a detailing product at least occasionally you'll need to do this again eventually though. But since it sounds like application is about the same as 2-3 coats of B2B / Armor All / TS-1 maybe preventative maintenance isn't worth it.

    I suppose. But how many years does it take to fade the new dye back to a gray color again? I guess we will find out. I can tell you that getting it muddy and pressure washing it had no effect on the color.
    I never putting anything else on it again!! SN or nothing.
