Forget all the 303 and C4 or Black Wow trim stuff because I have found the best trim treatment of all.

I found out about it from a jeep forum. I treated my car and a few others at the Dragon this year and after several car washes and crazy weather they still look brand new and it does not wash off.

For only $15.00 bucks you can go to Home Depot or Lowes or buy it on Amazon and have enough for 15 MINI's or more.

Instruction are clean your trim with lacquer thinner or Acetone.
Use a MF rag and wipe on a decent layer of Penetrol and let it dry and toss away your MF rag.

That's it, nothing more, your welcome.

1 Quart Penetrol 410 QT - Amazon.com

 

Well, the secret is out so I guess now it's just called Dave's Sauce...

Can't wait to try this. And judging by the perfection of Dave's outstanding Chilli Red R53 it obviously works great. Thanks Dave!

 

It's fine, it's not like you are going to drink it or put it on your hamburger. :wink::ihih:

Oh wax, oil, gas all have chemicals in them and you have lived this long.

If you are really worried use rubber gloves and a respirator. :idea:

 

I had some on a hot donut the other day...it's got a nice twang to it!

 

^^^^^ Penetrol ftw!!! AKA Dave's secret sauce.

 

+1. Dave hooked me up with Penetrol at the Dragon and it's the best stuff I've ever used on my trim. Easy to use, lasts a long time and looks great!

 

Darn it Dave, I hate jumping around for the next greatest whatsit or thingamastuf. But you were right about Sonax, so now I have to go buy some Penetrol.

 

Yup that's what a few people have been calling it.

You know that product called Black WOW, I wanted to call mine "Damn!" because that what you say when it does not attract dirt, dust or leave any slim or sling after it dries and lasts for months. It even repels water.

It looks like "Dave secret sauce" is the name that has stuck.

Enjoy

 

Thanks for the info on this stuff. I'm gonna head to Lowes and see if they've got it. I read that it isn't available in CA (no surprise) so maybe Amazon will be the way to go here...

 

Are you talking about the rubber/plastic?

If so you really need to try out the 303 Protectant. Been using it for years and love it. Very long lasting and very little graying.

 

So how about a how-to?

 

:idea: Read post #4 it has the instruction in it.

 

Missed that.........

Still like my 303, lasts all summer w/o having to wipe it down with the stinky stuff.

 

Now I'm backtracking a little. Considering the source, I've no doubt it works well & does a beautiful job. But I went to Lowe's yesterday and both Penetrol and lacquer thinner are plastered with too many warnings - toxic fumes, chemical gloves, etc - for my comfort level. YHOMV.
