If you're in the US you can buy it from ShowCarDetailing in California or by mail order from their shop at www.showcardetailing.com/eshop/

 

Thanks everyone for the links. I also updated the first post with a link.

I will make a couple observations on this product.

After using it on both my MCS and my wife's MC (R56's) I have decided to stop using the product.

-The wax residue (white crust or spots) on the plastic trim did not go away as others have reported even after repeated applicator and direct towel application.

-The plastic parts remained wet and would attract dust, lint, hair, towel fibers, etc even after washing the entire car more than once without more application. Wash mit would go black from the residue and need rincing every visit to the bucket. Trying to remove any excess residue with paper towel or any other towel would result in lots of lint left behind.

-Any bit of this gets on the paint and it does not easily wipe off (accidental application or something smears from the plastic to the paint). It will just smear around until you wipe the same area several times.

This product does indeed make the plastic look quite nice and almost matt glossy but with the side effects of using this product I will say this is not going on either car again.

Sorry

 

Wow... I don't know what to say about that. I specifically bought BW to remove M80 that I got on the trim. It took it right off with almost zero effort. As far as attracting dust, I had this issue when I used too much and didn't get all the excess off. Now, after the first wash after application I no longer have that issue. I was just using too much. It takes may 10 pea-sized dabs to do the entire car.

 

TrboKart-- I will contact you.

 

i'd also like to note to the people that do not have previous experience
with BW that the dry looking area of the arch (after the wash) does
not need to be reapp'ed with BW. rather, the glossy/wet looking part
needs to be wiped down and excess removed.

the finish that BW leaves behind should not be glossy at all after the
first wash. it should literally look matte black and dry. if your arch looks
glossy, you used too much. this is not your typical plastic dressing!

if you take your finger and you can smear the BW you used too much.
you need to remove the excess with a towel. preferrably use your MF
towel and QD. dont' worry it will easily wash off in the washer.

 

If I try to wipe off the eccess it literally puts lots of lint and debris on the plastic.

I am not seeing myself using too much of the stuff. I put a very small amount on the applicator for example and it will cover a large area and I will reapply to the applicator when it is not covering anything. The removing of excess is where it ruins it with the lint (MF towel or even quality paper towels).

 

that lint is coming from your towel. i get no lint from my MF towels.

try the MF platinum towels:

btw, always wash these MF towels before use!

 

The answer is "Lint Free" towels. Like Ken said. MF towels don't lint, so either you have bad MF towels, or they aren't MF. You mentioned you used Terry Towels in your PM, so not sure if you're confused or you're trying all kinds of towels.

You mentioned you used a small amount. How do you define that? I call it pea sized for maybe 2/3'rds of an entire arch. If you use a dedicated applicator that doesn't absorb too much product--like a MF Skinny or a foam applicator pad--then successive applications will reuse the product that's already in the pad--since BW never dries.

I sent you a PM (I originally posted publicly, but decided to PM you instead)--about coming to my shop and I'll show you how to use the product--I'm only about 30 minutes from you. I also post my cell phone number here on NAM and on SCD site for customers to use.

This Saturday, I'm working on a NAM members R56 at my shop--why not stop by and see how it's used and the benefits of using BW?

So TrboKrt, any updates?? I've sent you a PM, and plenty of ways to contact me, or visit me at the shop for a personal instruction on using the BW, but no reply.

I finished this black 2001 Porsche Carrera last night after about 12 hours.


Polished out with Swirl and White Pad on rotary (Amigo will follow)




But of course the reason for showing this is the bit of Swirl I got on the rear bumper.



To compare the difference, I put a piece of painters tape


I want to both dress the plastic and remove the polish, so I only need a tiny amount on my MF Skinny pad. Note I placed the BW from the sewn edge.


A bit of rubbing is required using this lint free applicator.

With the tape removed you can see the dramatic difference, and the polish is gone!

Now I even it out by applying more BW over the other half.

 

nice black shine. and BW's deep, penetrating dressing.

 

My friend saw me using black wow and freaked that I wasn't wearing gloves.
" Your skin's going to soak that up like the bumper" Richard, should I be concerned?

 

No you don't need to worry. The main ingredients in BW came from the skin care industry--they are FDA approved and recommended. I'm wearing gloves here because I had just dressed the tires with Meguiar's Endurance and I don't like black fingernails.

Of course, wearing gloves is nice if you don't want that soft/smooth feeling on your skin--but trust me, women pay big bucks for that feeling from Elizabeth Arden......it's safe. No need to worry or "freak out".

So what time are you going to be working on the R56 tomorrow? My wife and I are going to be visiting her family out in the IE but depending on the time we could see about stopping by and seeing your work on the R56.

The amount you put on the applicator pad is exactly what I am using each time. Sometimes I just touch the aplicator and thats it (not letting it come out from the cap very much).

The reason I used a terry towel is to get that rougher texture to rub out the wax residue on the plastic.

 

Well I don't know what else to say, but your application problem is unique, but I've had a lot of customers watch me and suddenly say---"oh that's what I'm doing wrong".

I'll be working on the R56 from 9AM until probably 4 or 5PM. Give me a call if you're planning to stop by.

Richard

 

yah, i started using BW as aftershave.

 

Haha Octane works better for that.

 

I understand wanting to use something with a rougher texture but terry towels are trouble... lint, lint, lint.

I'm really glad that Octaneguy gave us the tip to use the seam of the MF Skinny pad, that works great! I was using a sponge applicator and paper towel to wipe off excess BW (I tend to use too much product) and that worked pretty good since the paper towel has a bit of texture. I've since tried the MF Skinny pad and that's the way to go!!

Since you already have a bootle of BW and all this great feedback, I would think you should give it another try!

I love it!!

 

so i finally got around to BW'ing my front plate frame mount that had
white Epic reminace on it since last year.

i used no more than 2 sesame seed dabs on my kiwi foam pad.
waahoo~! it's nice and black again.

 

wat? no comments?

 

Surprised it took you so long.

As with most detailing products, less is more gooder

^^ yes, this is very true.

like putting too much gel in one's hair is bad!
