    Wipe New for plasctics

    There was another thread that I mentioned a product called Wipe New....I have used other products such as Mother's Black to Black but it fades quickly....I have been using Wipe New for a couple of years now...Rob came over yesterday to give me a hand with issues on my Cooley and while he did that I detailed his gs1100es....his mirrors were in pretty rough shape so I gave it a whirl....came out pretty good.

    Before..



    After..

        You mean you are not supposed to use them like curb-feelers?

          In all seriousness Trevor, the pics and review are appreciated and I'm definitely going to pick up some Wipe New for the bike and the wheel arches on my Mini.

            Lol...I have been using it for a couple years now....great results...but nasty stuff....use gloves that are provided...and it is expensive for a small bottle but goes a long way.

                I was using back to black, but it attracts dirt and fades out after a couple of weeks. The mirrors on my GS550E needs this, as they are faded and chalky.
