Black Wow Before/After Pics

I got a bottle of Black Wow yesterday. I didnt get any before shots of my truck so I decided to do a test on my work truck. I cleaned the mirrors with APC first.



Here is the other mirror with two coats of HD 4:1 on the left and Black Wow on the right. The Black Wow is not greasy and is dry to the touch.



Here is the Black Wow sprayed with water and dried with a MF two times.

I had horrible results with Back to Black. It will dry white in the grain after about 3 days.

I dont think Black Wow can be bought locally. I ordered mine from Excel Detail. You can also get it at ADS and Autogeek.

It will probably have to be a wash, rain has been scarce around here.

I had a good rain last night, and, was going to take pics this morning but the battery in my camera was dead. It is charging now and soon pics to come.

I was curious as to if there would be any run off, and, there was ZERO runoff. I like the way it beads water now as well. Well worth the coin.

I am getting OCD here, and, it is all your guy's faults. LMFAO!

Maybe if it had Meguiars on the bottle more people here would be willing to try it.
