RENEW PROTECT - SATN Low-Gloss Ceramic-Hybrid Protectant | Safe for Motorcycles, Golf Carts | Trim & Tire Preservation, OEM Restorer for Faded Plastic, Vinyl- Dry Rot Prevention, Patio Furniture | 8oz

The media could not be loaded.  I work in an auto shop and do detailing and body work, I encounter cars from the 1990s early 2000s on a daily basis and sometimes MUCH older.I decided to take some of this "blak" and "gloz" to my shop and experiment on the junkers we have in the back where we tow and let rot.I have access to PLENTY of old faded cars with trim, bumpers, dashboards that were once nice and black but sadly heavily greyed.With the heavily faded plastics you don't really need to "de-grease" or super clean because its damn BONE DRY from the elements, but i still gave it a little windex cleaning with paper towel. (notice in my video with the OLD tire, it was so dry, it didnt need to be cleaned)Windex in the end didnt appear to have enough cutting power to remove all the vinylex saturation the past couple years so my first application had a slight lack of adhesion, but it wasnt the horror story you read in the negative reviews here. Still as a perfectionist, i decided to strip it off and re do it....very easily.50/50 Ammonia and water, scour pad, comes right off. Then once dry, i reapplied...the results were even better.it looks amazing quite honestly and was very glossy. I noticed the first application was quickly drank up and absorbed. the next two coats began filling in those tiny microscopic cracks in the rubber and plastic...finally the third application is where i began to notice the gloss and uniform brand new looking appearance..it was also no longer gritty but super smooth to the touch.for an 84 chevette with A LOT of faded plastic no longer black but grey:the headlight shrouds, grill, and black trim around the windows and dash, look brand new now upon close examination. it is pretty much impossible to see it is aged, you would honestly believe they were new parts freshly ordered off ebay, and then installed onto the car.if i had to explain it best, i would tell you that it dries with a feeling of automotive clear coat, as if you sprayed your plastic and let it harden.If you scratch it VERY hard with your fingernail,you can somewhat chip it off, but it takes a massive amount of effort to really do it noticeable. I cant imagine how stupid someone would be to intentionally keep ripping their fingernail against the vehicle to see how well it handles.Considering how easy this stuff is to just swab on...it could be touched up in seconds anyway.on the slightly newer 2003 suzuki aerio i did the super faded windshield wiper shroud....1 coat of blak was honestly enough, but i put 2 and then 1 coat of gloz, absolutely brand new looking. I had no doubts after seeing what the 84 looked like.I did all the door trim, and it looks, factory new.I purposely took this to my shop to see if my boss would invest some larger containers to use for when we turn cars as any of you know, a great detail job can make a huge difference in selling cars. He is sold on it after seeing the final results on his 2000 f150, once i showed him what it could do, He grabbed the bottle and asked for the web address.we have cars sitting for sale upwards of a few months usually, and having to detail each one every 3 weeks due to rain and sun washing off those "greasy products" gets old fast. Even the almighty 303 protectant and vinylex don't seem to hold their shine after a month.not having to detail as much will save labor time, and my back....If Renew protect lasts half as long as it claims, then this could be one of the sweetest products currently on the market.So far i am enjoying this product personally but if things change I will adjust my review to show my results over time.I Recommend this product as it seems light years ahead of anything else i have ever used (Vinylex, 303 etc etc) and seems to be very durable hard shell coat.one final note: if you have used greasy or silicone based products like Armor all or comparable sprays, i have to take a time out right now to tell you that you must do a VERY thorough cleaning before you apply this product as the oils will repel it and cause some lack of adhesion and streaking. Clean it very well and you should not have any trouble. ALSO do NOT apply this in temps under 45 degrees. I would recommend warmer weather 60 and up.I think i mention this THREE TIMES in my video...please heed my warning I know i sound like a broken record about "prep" but i found out it must be done so you don't have to, "find out"

Having used black tire dyes before, I liked the flat "new" tire finish but the dye did not last long enough and eventually turned the tire brown-ish. Despite costing much more, I liked the restorative polymer concept behind BLAK and the reports that it was not too shiny.For my first use, I removed the wheels from my car (I was rotating them anyway), washed and dried them thoroughly, then laid them over a plastic utility bucket, to raise them up and be able to turn them over and not scratch the finished side.My BLAK package included 2 block sponge applicators, 1 foam paint brush, and 2 nitrile gloves, which increased the value and allowed me to use the product without having to buy applicators.BLAK is really thin, almost like water, and I quickly learned to NOT squeeze the bottle. Instead, I allowed some BLAK to dribble out onto the sidewall and run around the rim. Using an included sponge block, I could then easily distribute the product. Two things to note: 1) shake the bottle before opening and in between coats and 2) do not over rub the product - just wipe on or distribute it then let it be.After applying 3 coats to both sides of 4 17-inch tires, I only used about 1.5 to 2 oz. With 3 coats, the tires were a little more shiny than I like but not too shiny. The shine eased a bit over a few weeks and looks really good, now.Having learned how little BLAK was actually needed, the cost turned out to be much less than the tire dye I had previously used and the finish is much more substantial. My car sits out in direct sunlight all day and the tires need good UV protection. BLAK also worked well on the rear bumper's rubber pad, after applying painters tape to protect the white bumper.I also contacted Renew Protect about some concerns and got actual replies from the owner! Now I have a better idea of what products to use for specific applications, how little product is needed per application, and how much longer the product will protect what it is applied to. I wish I had known about this company's products years ago, and not wasted so much money on inferior car care products.There is a bit of a learning curve to using the products but with a little practice and experience the results are outstanding. Having used polymer car care products for years, I'm glad that I finally found and tried BLAK, with RP.11 the next on my list to try. I think this company has the best polymers available to consumers.

I purchased this sometime ago before the 2023 heatwave here in Texas. The temp has climbed upwards of up to 110 degrees this year 115 last year in central TX. This info matters if you plan on using this product in these particular climates. Yes it is a very good product but really only last up 6 weeks in my opinion. If you're in a cooler climate this may last longer which I don't know. I am a commuter 25-50 mins on the road everyday in the super dry heat. Tire application is easy, before you gotta make sure the tires are super clean degreased and no dirt on clean rubber. After drying to the touch one application for base coat then your choice of either shine or matte look. I was spectacle at first but I took a count of how long it lasted with a weekly wash no degreaser or acid on tires for maintenance upkeep. after the 5th week it was clear it started to fade away. You could reuse the app to your liking, just expect it to last about 6 weeks in the heat. This product did last longer than Carpro's Dark Side which is like 1-2 weeks lasting in Texas heat. I hope this information helps you all in expectations in hot weather.

So... before I get to the meat and potatoes. Don't suggest using the brush, the pad works ready well while the brush falls apart after your first tire. This product is super easy to use. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS and virtually no smell the Color of the product is blackkkkkk... lol no leakage from my bottle but it did get me had absolutely no problem removing it with soap and water.

Did a great job rejuvenating the faded black plastic on my golf cart.

Product worked as per advertised claim and applied easily. Coverage was good and went a long way

The saddlebags on my 05 Road king look refreshed and nice to have that sheen on them a huge improvement , I’m sure it won’t last a year but that’s fine, I’ll review them in a few months to see how they are holding up. Instructions on the bottle are clear and while it’s runny as stated the finish is good, just have rags and something underneath like cardboard or a tarp.

Seams to work great

Work for tire and also the best product to black the plastic part on your car
