Pre Wow plastic cleaner - first use

Got my Pre Wow yesterday and had the perfect opportunity to use it today.

Received my X5 35i 2 weeks ago and when the dealer waxed it prior to delivery, they had "waxed" the beige (beige interior) sill plate on the driver's side. About 8 inches long of white, dried wax residue on the textured plastic. Not sure how it got there, but it did.

I hit it today with PW and the provided firm toothbrush. A couple of squirts of PW, about 10-15 seconds of brushing, wiped it off with a damp microfiber towel and dried and it's perfect. Worked great.

So far I'm very pleased with the product. I've been eagerly awaiting it's availability because I really like Black Wow too.

Thanks Richard!

I just got some the other day as well. I really like Black Wow and can't wait to try this out.

I really enjoyed reading the label on the bottle. It goes through all these different things that the product does and ends with "it has a pleasant smell." Too funny.

If your order this or Black Wow from Richard aka OctaneGuy make sure that you put in the NAM discount. I forgot about that and did not realize this until after I placed my order.

I can take an "after" picture, but that won't tell you much. Sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't grab a before picture.

My Mini is a mess and I hope to use it again this weekend. I'll grab some before pictures I find something particularly bad.

NAM discount? Bah! Forgot that too. Next time...

re: Copy
hahah yeah, that's always the fun part.

re: Discounts
Sorry guys. I used to handle all the orders myself and if I noticed a NAMer, I'd automatically give it, but my assistant handles most of the orders and she's not familiar with everyone yet!

Some additional pix. Our Pre-Wow Trim Brushes are now shipping with Pre-Wow. They took awhile to get finalized. Not even sure any orders have been shipped out wit them. They work the same as the toothbrushes, they just look less like a toothbrush, lol. I chose the bristles using the Firm Toothbrush as a basis.





And the final Pre-Wow bottles, no more paper labels, it's silk screened.


Using Pre-Wow to clean and make a surface uniform as a prep for Black Wow. This is the mirror on a 2000 Toyota Tacoma truck.


A few spritzes of Pre-Wow

I have two recommended applicator tools with Pre-Wow.

1.) is the included brush for textured plastics
2.) a painters rag from Home Depot $6 for 12 towels. These are great for everything else.



A few seconds of rubbing in circles and here you go!


Cleaned, uniform and ready to be dressed. Although on this smooth Plastic, Pre-Wow will improve it for anywhere from 1 to several days, depending on where it's exposed too and how neglected the plastic was to begin with.

Also you can expect these same results on anything matte black like wiper arms, matte painted wheels, etc..

Richard
