Default anybody ever use .....?

Hey I was thinking it was common knowledge but I will post here to see if it is just a midwest thing.....

I have been using kiwi black leather dye for bumperettes , side walls etc and it has no silicon in it , therefore no dirt attraction but semigloss look. I always liked it .....just wondered if anyone else used it.....I hate the tire gloss junk that attracts dust and the DETAIL KINGS engine detail is non silicon also.....

Dude, that sounds awesome. Do you have a pic? That'd be cool to see the effect.

The best thing I've found is a product that's made by AMMO NYC call MUD. Its a tire gel but works beautifully on the bumperettes. There's no sling and more importantly it doesn't attract dirt or dust. Best product for bringing back plastics and faded rubber pieces that I've ever used.

Sorry, my original response was “tounge in cheek”!!

Yes, I use it frequently, on boot and tyre...

It was created by a Scotsman William Ramsay in 1906, so named, as his wife was from New Zealand, our native flightless bird is called a Kiwi, hence the logo on the bottle is a Kiwi.
