Auto Finesse Revive on Rubber and Plastics... **Sexy beading content!**

[RussZS]

I got my Revive through this morning, and will be testing it properly later, on my GF's Ka bumpers, which are in a right state.


My own car, a Mk5 Golf, doesn't have a great deal of plastic trim unfortunately, so I decided to test it on the rubber door seals, which I was leaving to do with Swissvax Seal Feed, but since the price rise, I thought I'd wait for Revive instead, and see how that does.


Usual boutique style packaging from AF:

I taped off an area with Elite Green Masking Tape:

I applied the Revive, which is like a thinner version of AG Bumper Gel, without the bits, but similar in colour, with an old MF towel I had in my car.

It was very easy to work and spread, and wasn't gloopy at all like CG NLTG. It was a perfect consistency for my personal preference for this type of product.

I'm very impressed! No greasiness, perfect factory looking matte finish and required little to no buffing. I've not used Seal Feed before, but for me, this better products like 303 and NLTG.


In fact, I can go and do my plastics in my engine bay... I'll BRB




On my Engine Bay...


Befores... what a state!!

I quickly wiped the area down with a QD and older MF towel, then taped a few areas off:

Applied again, using the same method as above, left for 5 mins, then buffed:

Here, I did a quick wipe over from the residue, to see the effect:

Again, not greasy in the slightest, and a very OEM finish. If this does last 2-3 months, then we have a superb product indeed here!!


Finally, a few beading shots. Remember, the first one is on rubber, and the last two on plastic!

Wonder if this will help the 197 door seals from splitting?? Hmmmmm

 

[Yellow Dave]

tried it again this morning on the window rubbers and it didn't take that well, didn't really soak in like it does on the door seals or plastic. seems to have a level of cleaning ability to it also.

Waxamomo too, everyone should have stock soon. I used it again yesterday on a Mondeo and it worked wonders.

I always hated doing glass and trim, but now with Revive and Crystal, I don't mind so much!
