Black Wow, revisited

Its been a while since I gave my truck a little attention. Today she got a bath, Tuf Shine Tire Treatment, DG 105/White pad/UDM and Black Wow'd mirrors and bumper.
We're somewhat familiar with DG 105, and its ease of use, and durability, as well as looks. Tuf Shine is a proven winner in my book, but Black Wow doesnt get a lot of attention. Maybe its due to a lack of knowlege or just a lack of black trim these days. Seems like mirrors are always painted, as well as bumpers. (At least on imports) Anyway, heres a few pics of my "unfinished" pickup. (I know, I know, its not an Acura!! But how else am I suppose to get all those orders to FedEx and USPS!)
This is what I had to start with.
1/2 way done!
All done!
On to the wheels and tires:

Cleaned with Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner

Tires cleaned and dry, ready for two apps Tuf SHine

Now the results after 2 hrs......

Totally different.........B2B is a backshelfer, BW belongs right up there in front until you use it a couple/few times, then it may collect dust!
B2B is real watery, nice smelling though. But along with that consistancy comes a lack of durability.
BW is real thick, almost too thick, like cool honey.....But it last and lasts. Remember, no product is an end for all. A couple treatments may be required to sustain added durability.
