Nice and shiny but not a big fan of smoked tailights.

you don't need steel wool.. wouldn't that just scratch up your tips? i get the same result with never dull alone.. no effort or anything.. just take a chunk out and all the black wipes clean away.. i use a paper towel after the never dull and my tips come out blingin..

I COMPLETELY AGREE... I ordered this stuff and it literally was amazing. It cleaned my black, yellowed tims and full discolored muffler underneath in about 2 minutes. Didnt need that much rubbing and they looked better than new.

What he said. NeverDull cleans, but does not protect. I would not be surprised if your tips are all scratched up now from steel wool. What grade did you use?

Should this be in the Show & Shine thread?
