works well hey

just be aware the rags can self combust given the right circumstances , i soak mine with water when I'm done

Glad you posted this, I'd heard i works well but was apprehensive. Think I'll go for it with my exterior trim now!

I used a brush to put it on. Put it in the garage when finished to harden. Will polish up when dry.

You can put dirty engine oil on and it would look the same... The test is the test of time, how's it look after a wash? And how often do you have to repeat this process??

i ususally get abiut 2-3 months between doing them again

Two to three months would do me.

it does last months , engine oil wouldnt dry but this stuff sort of dries like varnish but gently fades away with no flaking or streaking

i find it best to wipe plenty on and walk away for an hour or so then buff with a clean cloth to take off any excess , it needs doing on a day when it can not get wet for a few hours

Did mine and put away in the garage overnight. Will give it a polish today.

Sound like a good tested solution then! nice work!
