It's getting funny with all the "excuses", OctaneGuy...
I screwed up my arches last June with wax and still having issues after a few rains... The plastic becomes faded and ugly... I tried tooth brush and all other "stuff", but no help...
When is this thing out?
It's been enough games
I want a set: one of each. Sooooon

This looks like exactly what I need for the pesky black trim on my Elise, and the Jeep too. The vents on the Elise are very bad for grabbing wax and not wanting to give it up.
If this works as well on the Elise trim as it appears to in your pics you'll likely have a nice new market in Elise and Exige guys. Check out LotusTalk.com (the largest Lotus message board in the US, but they are very strict with vendor posts) and BritishSpeed.com (a newer/smaller forum which never charges anything for vendors and for sale threads in the interest of the community).

I received my package this afternoon and within five minutes of them dropping it off I was in the garage giving it a try on the Elise.
The black plastic vents used all over the Elise are made of a lightweight plastic that grabs and holds wax worse than anything that I've come across before. I've spent days trying everything in the cabinet and at the stores trying to get wax off with little luck. Most things would look like they took it away, but after it dried the staining would be back. I accidentally hit the side of the fins on the decklid pretty bad with my polisher a couple months ago, and have had a pretty bad wax stain on them since.
I sprayed a single shot of Pre-Wow on to one of the vent slats in the middle of those with issues, and then scrubbed it with the supplied firm toothbrush. It very quickly took away the stain and gave the whole slat a nice black rejuvenated look. I dried it with a towel and it still looked the same. I just checked it five hours later and it still looks just as good. It looks to me like it really did remove the wax staining versus covering it up by moistening it.
So, the initial report is that this stuff really seems to work every bit as good as I had hoped. I'm looking forward to doing the rest of the car when I detail it later this week. I'll take a pic of the one slat that I did in the context of the others and post it when I get a chance. I'm also going to post it on the Lotus boards as this stuff is great for the Elise trim.
Thanks Octane Guy!

Hmm... This may seem a bit odd.....
But is PW Grape flavored? I just started working on my trim, and cannot tell if its the brush you guys sent me, or PW.
Coincidentally, the brush is purple.
Also, Sadly Pics will have to wait until next week sometime, when i get my DSLR. This Nikon P&S just isn't clear enough.

I have one Sneak Peak of PW's power. My Windshield Washer sprayers. They were pretty well covered in wax.
The before shot is a little over-exposed, but you can really see the difference in them. And it was REALLY fast working stuff. Really I think 2-3 scrubs with the brush would have been enough to remove the stuff. WOW.
Also, I didn't realize the Pre-Production "labels" were just pieces of paper taped onto the bottles. lol. Labels are over-rated anyway. I know what's in the bottle.
I also Tried spraying PW on the non-Clearcoat paint in my engine compartment. It is now clean and shiny, looks like it works fine there. (didn't extensively test it, though)

Look awesome! Great photos! The smell is indeed a variation of Black Wow's watermelon scent. For the labels, for SEMA I had actual labels made but once PW got on them, they kinda lost their ink, lol, so I opted not to waste money making temp labels and just printed the artwork on paper.
Keep up the updates, looks great!

Gotcha. Now that you mention it, it does smell like Watermelon Bubblegum.
