Just wanted to add a few notes. At Detail Fest this year in Stuart Florida, the owner of an old Ferrari that was being used for a Griots Garage demo told me that the Black Wow I put on his bumper on at last years Detail Fest looked exactly the same as the day I put it on a year ago. While this car is garaged and rarely driven, that was pretty impressive that it's lasted for over a year.

Another customer told me that he maintains 4 cars and BW lasted over 3 months for him.

Obviously, when used properly, BW will last a long time.

I just washed the mini and cannot believe how bad my trim is. Actually i almost feel like when i got my "free" delivery detail they waxed right over them then tried to wipe it off. Back to black isnt cutting it and i keep meaning to ask you/order some BlackWOW.

If i understand this correctly i need to use PRE-WOW first to clean the plastic and then follow with Black WOW?

Thanks Man!

If you want to permanently remove any wax/polish residue and do it very easily, then yes, use Pre-Wow first. If you're just thinking of prepping the plastic to clean it of general purpose debris, then no, you can just clean with anything and treat with BW.
