    Wipe New TV ad with '99 Ebony

    Caught an ad on late night MeTV featuring a 1999 Ebony being treated with a cleaning product called "Wipe New". The ad was convincing, but the business had a Better Business Bureau rating of "D+". Visit the BBB link for details about how the business got its rating.

    Wipe New
    945 Seahawk Cir.
    Virginia Beach, VA 23452-7811

    (888) 822-3570

    www.wipenew.com

    Anyone have experience with Wipe New?

    Hmmm? Before posting, did a search across the forums for "wipe new" and didn't get any hits. Just tried "wipenew" this time and did come up with Vehi-Cross-Az's 07/30/2012 "new product endoresment using the VX" post.

    BTW, thanks for the links, VX KAT.

    Cool Wipe New?

    anyone got PHOTOS of the WIPE NEW on their VX after a few months?

    I used FOREVER BLACK and it leaves a shiny jet black finish, but will chip off from road rash. I just lightly sand and use the lacquer thinner to even out the spots and reapply the FB. Lasted 3 years so far with touchups.

    Used 303... meh, didn't last

    About 5 months ago, I used KRYLON PLASTIC PAINT from Walmart, lasts long and doesn't seem to chip, not as shiny as FB, but has to be carefully and evenly applied. You have to do many light coats and I still had issues with it splotching, but overall it looks better than the old gray.

    You can see a photo of the Krylon side ( I am disabled so I have been slow to finish the rest ) in my gallery. I also did a partial Carbon Fiber Wrap where my clearcoat was peeling ( hood, & roof ) so don't mistake that for the paint.
