Question about Black Wow

I use Black Wow on my MINI and I love the stuff. Long lasting. Great matte shine etc.


I posed this question to the folks at Black Wow but got no answer.
Is it an appropriate product to use on a black vinyl top of a Miata?


Thanks in advance.

No idea, I use Black Wow too and love it. Why not try it on a very miniscule out of the way spot and see how it works? If someone does ask about the little black spot just tell 'em a crow pooped on it.

Just came across this/ my post again. I ended up using 303 on the Miata top. It looked great but I suspect not as long lasting as Black WOW. That stuff always amazes me how long it allows my black trim on the MINI to keep looking good. Cleans up nice with a wash and lasts a long time.

Try Meguiars xpress wax, I use it on the whole car inside and out. Paint, windows, seats, everything. http://www.best-auto-detailing-tips....press-wax.html

I would be incredibly mad if I hired him to detail my car only to find out he used an APC on my carpet and now my car stinks like APC. Darren's techniques are fine for "production detailing", but there are MUCH better products and techniques to use on your own car that you actually care about.
