Hey there Folks,
Okay, just wanted to post my findings and experience with the nifty new product out there called Wipe New. My SUV is a 2004 Xterra, and all of the vinyl bumper and such was quite faded and aged looking! I had tried using ArmorAll, but it would only last a few weeks or so!
Then I saw the advert on TV about WipeNew. I waited until it was actually available in the STORE, and picked up a ~$20.00 package at Walmart.
Aside from my vinyl bumpers and trim, the Swmbo's 2003 Hyundai SanteFe's headlight lenses had gotten rather aged also. I had taken my drill and round sanding adapter with some multigrade sheets of sandpaper and had cleaned them up a bit, along with rubbing compound to try to polish them as clear as possible, and then applied Turtle Wax to try to keep them from oxidizing again. However they were starting to fog over already.
SO....The Wipe New kit also comes with a small headlight lens scrubbing/sanding pad that's to remove the old yellow oxidized plastic first, but it also makes the lens quite foggy looking due to the scratches it creates while removing the oxidized plastic. But then I applied the Wipe New and I was amazed at how well it fills in the microscratches and clears the lenses right up. This stuff is supposed to last about 2 years, which will be great if it does. So...I'm posting these photos of my immediate results, and I'll post back in a year and 2 to show how it holds up, but so far it's THUMBS UP!
