    Could you find Ultimate Protectant locally? Ultimate Protectant is same as Ultimate Black. But I personally haven't try either one of them yet. I have been using D4510 Vinyl & Plastic Coating Aerosol because of its easy application like front grill, wheel wall, not so much of longevity IMHO.

    If you are looking for longevity, I read that Ultimate Protectant or Ultimate Black last quite long.

    i do see that often but just thought it was more for interior but i will give it a try, thanks for the info i hope it does a better job than mothers back to black i mean dont get me wrong it works great for some things others not very well at all. so just a quick question do u think any of the tire shines would work on trim and so forth also thanks for the link very interesting do megs have something like that in consumer line in spray i mean, the easier the better

    I have been meaning to try D4510 for a while now for honeycombe grills etc. Can you just spray on & walk away without having to go back and wipe all the little tight areas?

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

    Yes. The first time I try, I must have overspray. For the grill, the trick is small and light spray at a time. Any overspray can be easily wipe off. I read the review from Shawn T so I give it a try. I really like it. Thank Shawn.

    Thanks Andy.

    Looks like it has been a while - 5 months to be exact. I asked the same question in that thread that you linked!
