Excellent find even! Will be ordering pending your review. Red's trim is in a sorry state.

It was actually 39.99 when I opened the buy it now link and is marketed for the X5 anodized black gloss trim. I have been searching for something outside of polishing relentlessly and found this last night on a 1 series forum with good feedback.

Guess I'll join the club and order it too. The examples in that thread look great. Stuff seems like magic in a bottle.

I received my package and I have to say I am pretty bummed with the results after the 1st coat. I will try another one but it did not seem to help much. They look nice when the product is applied but after it looks the same and they look streaky now and I will have to use laquer thinner to remove the product from the trims. I reached out to the seller and sent him the pics. He stated mine look pretty oxidized and to try wet sanding them and then re-applying the coat wetter. Not sure I want to invest the much time into the trims right now...

Bummer. This was my concern. Mine is on the way... Not sure if I will try it or put it on the shelf.

Paul the seller is a great guy and offers a 30 day money back guarantee. I applied another heavier coat and as it dries it appears to have the same hazy appearance...

I say try it! Maybe you'll have better results than me which you usually do...
