Let us know your experience with the product. Most of the online reviews I've read seem pretty negative.

And that's why I wasn't willing to buy it. I've seen mixed reviews on it myself, but the fact they are willing to send out a sample for review is promising. No bs from me, either it works or it doesn't.

What always amazes me is how much they charge for S&P...
The product (Doubled in size, of course) is "only" $19.99, which is fine. Then you pay $7.99 for S&P... Actual shipping is about $0.80 bulk for them, but I'm not going to argue too much here. Then you are offered a "BONUS" Pro Detail kit (4 pad, some stick thing and a pair of $0.10 gloves) FREE for only S&P (another $7.99) when it will be shipped in the same box and barely affects the weight of the package (Heck, they could probably process them together and save money... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) WOW, what a concept) Rant over, I hope it works well and we all have a new product to love. |

I thought I would share this. I got wax on the moldings of my vehicle and tried everything to get it off, mineral spirits, alcohol, ect.
I searched online and saw a guy use creamy P-Nut Butter. Simply smear it on the chalky white area, work it in, let it sit a few minutes and then wash it off. So, I tried it very skeptically. It works great! I thought it would simply cover the wax to make it black, but after two weeks, I still can not see the wax and the black areas look clean and new. Just thought I would share.

Wax removal...just use hot water and a brush. Personally I use an old toothbrush.
I haven't read any reviews of the Wipe New, but would be interested to hear what it's made of. Having worked in the automotive plastics industry for almost two decades, I'm just a little skeptical about what it can do. |
