Review on Revive and Restore: Solution Finish - Black Plastic & Vinyl Restorer for Car and Truck Detailing - 1 oz. by Darnell Golden

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Damn dirty on car care

The solution in the 1 ounce bottle was almost too thick to even use. I used the product with gloves on and it was almost impossible to apply it evenly to the 2015 J/k fender flares. I made the mistake of putting it on the doorknobs and tailgate handle which made them sticky and black and fell off my hands even after 12 hours and 4 microfiber towels. I was going to use it for some of the interior parts but luckily I didn't. Finally, a day later, I used Mequire's Back to Black spray on the fender flares and handlebars to keep the black from getting on my hands and clothes when I brush them. I don't know if I got a bottle of the mix or something, but I've never used an auto product this messy. A 1 ounce bottle was enough to clean my flares, door handles and both bumpers. How long this will last remains to be seen, but the fact that Simple Green and a few other cleansers have had a hard time removing it from multiple spots on my hands might be an indication of some durability. . I pre-cleaned all surfaces with denatured alcohol and let them dry before applying the product.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Expensive
