IMHO, none of the alternatives have the durability of a proper coat of Epic (not even HS). Remember that Amigo is a glaze that is applied in between the polishing and sealing steps, so the filled imperfections will have the benefit of the protection of the polymer layer above it. BG can be the coupe de grace to the entire process and will do as claimed, but as it is the exposed layer to the elements it will need reapplication more frequently.

I use Black WOW and don't have this problem.
I also have been detailing my cars for over 25 years now. I also help others that do get wax residue on trim with Pre Wow and send them to Richards site so they can also buy this great combo.
Black and Pre WOW are the best you can use PERIOD.
P.s. If you want good products you won't find them at Pep -Boys and Wallmart. Don't buy cheap crap for your car.-

Banana Gloss is designed for people who like carnauba waxes and also for people that want a super flexible "use anywhere, anytime" wax. It goes on hot or cold paint and it fills minor defects like towel scratches, marring, light holograms from buffers, etc..
Check out this square I did on a truck. It's hard to see from the photo but the owner was blown away by the results in person as everything else he tried...nothing gave results even close to it.
One application of BG reduced the swirls, darkened the paint, and concealed the heavy towel marring on the paint.
The swirls are evident in the upper right near the window. The visibility of these defects were reduced by atleast 50% and the marring went away completely.

BG is awesome I use it last in my detailing process every time.
Wash, clay, wash, dry, polish w/Swirl, glaze with Amigo, seal with Epic, finish with BG.
That's just the "paint" on the outside.
The wheels get Sonax and some dressing the glass gets RainX and Clarity and the entire inside is cleaned and dressed with Nero.
Prima makes great products but Black WOW always tops it of and makes the car POP.-

Banana gloss has never stained the plastic when I've used it, put it right over black graphics as well.

What I do is after I clean & dry my MINI I coat the trim with Wizards Black, I'm sure Black Wow would work as well. Don't wipe it off yet. Now wax your wagon & when done wipe down the trim pieces with a clean towel. No white marks!

I've not used that brand before, but I recon it would work there Jasper.
You might test a small inconspicuous area first to see how it goes. You still don't want to slather the wax on the trim if you can help it. Man I hated masking. I only did that once. :mad2:
