BLACK RENEW is a one step cream that cleans, renews and protects ALL COLOR exterior trim. Use BLACK RENEW to remove old wax and compound residue from moldings, bumper extensions, door handles, mudguards and anything plastic or rubber that needs restoring.       

Does BLACK RENEW have any other uses? How about tires?

Some customers have used it on tires; however I think the VINYL SHINE does a better job. It does clean the white letters, but the POWER CLEAN is much faster. Other uses would be; wiper arms, louvers, air vents and black painted grills. It really works great on exterior moldings; either smooth or textured.

Does it work like a dye, what color is it?

It’s not a shoe polish or a dye; it’s a concentrated cream that works on all colors. And because it’s concentrated, it will go a lot further then the traditional spray products.

BLACK RENEW really does a good job for the body shop. For example if one molding has been replaced and the adjacent molding is faded, you can blend them together and make it look like new. It instantly removes embedded wax, compound or any discoloration from body side moldings. It cleans, rejuvenates and protects all in one.

What’s the best way to apply it? Does it take a lot of rubbing or do you just wipe it on?

I usually use the yellow pad; however, the RYMPLE CLOTH does work a little faster if you have a stubborn area. Usually you can just rub it onto the piece, but if you have a molding with old wax or compound buildup; then you’ll have to scrub until it’s gone.

Do I have to let it dry and then buff it, or can I just rub it on?

Usually just rub it on and that’s all that’s required. It can be buffed after application, but it’s not necessary. Some applications will soak it up faster than others.

How long can I expect it to last? Is it a one-time application or do I have to use it more often?

It’s not a permanent repair but it’s the best product I’ve ever found. How long it lasts really depends on how old the piece is. Most items will need an occasional touch up, but it seams that the textured moldings will hold the shine better than the smooth ones. Once it’s conditioned from several applications it will hold its color much longer.
