Detailed today! WOW I <3 PRIMA!
yah, i was thinking that or old pillow cases or something.

I used the Wizard's Black Renew for the first time 2 weeks ago. I was very impressed at how brand new it made my trim look b-u-t I felt like it wore off after one week
& I just don't have the time to detail my trim every freakin week <sigh>
The Wizard's may be still hiding on my trim & protecting it but I the added blackness it gave was gone in a week.

However, Black Renew's cleansers should've cleaned off anything that would impede the bond. What was on the trim prior to Black Renew? Anything? I'm trying to figure out what may have gone wrong...
Thanks in advance for the info!

here ya go, heather - 

I used nothing before I applied the Renew. The only product I have ever used on my trim was 303 protectant & it had been quite awhile since I had applied that to my trim. Since Wizar'ds claims to be "a one step cream that cleans, beautifies, & protects trim" & says "Use to remove old wax & white compounds, etc..." & "Black Renew is a water based polymer emulsion w/citrus cleaners" I didn't see a need to do anything but apply it without prep 
I dunno if that's the problem or not but my Mini is not garaged & used as a daily driver.

That's actually very strange... Black Renew's "blackness" is extremely durable and should've lasted several weeks or even months, depending on exposure. I've never seen (or heard of) it lasting only a week.

When I applied the Wizard's I really enjoyed the smell. I rubbed it in really well & my trim looked so amazing (like jetjetjet black) after applying it that I even made my boss go check to out Monday morning (he hates it when I do that
). After about a week the newfound-blackness was almost all gone & by week 2 my trim looked the same as before I applied it. Now keep in mind that my trim did not look faded or bad at all to start with so my expectations may have been too high in expecting that one full shade of new blackness to last
but I didn't say there was nothing on there. I just said that the increased level of blackness that I gained was gone. I may still have protection but the "look" is gone.
heather about my alcohol swipe test to determine what i define "gone"
or "nothing there."
actually bamatt posted on another thread where were talkingabout his trim sauce... so noone would've known unless you were here
all day long like us.
The only thing I have ever ever put on my exterior trim is 303 Protectant. I must confess that I had not even put any 303 on my trim for almost 2 months prior to trying the Wizard's

I wonder if you could try it again and then let me know?
Or, maybe you need a new bottle?-Heather
