pulled too far over parking curb

Pointless. You learn to live with it. Coming from someone who is OCD about these things, I almost had a heart attack when I first scraped it. Since then I try to use angles and hit it as little as possible, but it happens. You've got to realize its not noticeable anyways unless you're looking for it down there at the right angle.

Yup... I'm OCD with my whip. My neighbors kinda make fun of me and tell me I have the cleanest car in texas due to it barely ever having dust or spots. Lol. But I learned that that scraping the lip is probably saving my car. Its like early warning when it scrapes, it stops u from doing something stupid.

No sense putting a new one on, you will surely rough it up also. I have taken some sandpaper to mine every six months to smooth it out again. After that put on some back to black dressing to put color back to it.

nono, i actually have a bottle of BlackWow i bought 4-5yrs ago and im still using it. you dont need to apply much, and i spread it evenly with a hard foam applicator.

richard (octane guy) is the guy that invented it with his dad. it's a great product.

mr. kenchan, we must be separated at birth! I thought I was the only person that used Black Wow.

Hands down, it is THE best product for black trim; looks great and lasts for months.

Meh, sounds like too much work. Consensus is that replacing it on a bi-weekly basis will keep it nice, clean, black and scratch free for the duration of the car's life!
