Black Wow revives ganky stripes

I've been at my wit's end with these stripes. I have black stripes that are printed on chrome. Very quickly, the black part started looking gross - never shiny, and always splotchy and dull, no matter what I tried on it.

So today I figured WTH and if something went wrong I would need new ones anyway because they looked terrible.

These pictures are not the best because I am a crappy photog but you can see the lower half of the stripe was completely revived by Black Wow. I still have to go back and wipe off the excess but I was amazed!

I generally recommend antibiotics for anything ganky, but the BW looks like it did a great job.

The stripes are from Aesthetic Creations. I just think the black doesn't really print well onto the chrome. But I love them, so I deal with it.

And as far as gankiness, I think BW did better than anything an antibiotic woulda done

BW is really great. It lasts for quite a while in between applications. My first application has been on Cousteau's trim for 6 weeks, enduring a minimum of weekly washes.
