New to BlackWow. Wow

I bought some with the Pre Wow about 6 months ago and forgot about it until yesterday. I washed the car and used 2 tiny drops on an applicator at a time on all the trim. I bet I used 1/20th of an ounce. So today it looks good, but in the sunlight I can tell some sections are darker than others. It says on the bottle to underdo it rather than overdo it. Do I apply again today, or wait until the next wash? I've heard the stuff lasts a long time. So far I like it. I looked at that 2 oz bottle for $30 and said huh?

I would wait till the next wash...
You should find it lasts longer next time, and looks more evenly dark!
It is good stuff....one bottle lasts years....

Yeah I think I'll wait til the next wash. It looks pretty good, just a little uneven in places. I like the stuff, I bet it's way better and Black is Back or Nero. You have to use that stuff amost every wash.

One of those circular cloth covered sponge things you apply car wax with. I just put a couple drops near one edge and rub it in and around. That's what they used on the youtube video.

I used that first also, then I got a red sponge applicator from detailers domain and it spreads better. My 2¢..

My wife had some dense foam makeup applicators. They work perfectly and you get a whole bag of them for a couple of bucks.

Agree. I currently use a foam applicator and store it in a plastic baggie with the black wow bottle.
