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:

The instructions on the back (may be of interest to somebody)

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!

I'm amazed!  Especially for £8 for 250ml!

Nice, I'm nearly out of NLTG so I might try some of that.

Have you tried it as a tyre dressing?

[RussZS]

Not yet, but it works well apparently.

My preference on tyres is Pinnacle Black Onyx, nothing touches it for durability and gloss IMO, but it's not cheap! 

[Frenzy]

that looks very good 

May give it a go after i've used up the Poorboys NL i've got.

[stealthwolf]

It will be interesting to see how durable it is.

I've still got my gummifledge for the seals.

Great review thanks, will be investing!

[crashdesk]

Anyone used AG rubber and plastic spray for this?

[keano]

I HATE threads like this. I've just ordered a bottle from the Finesse boys.

Thanks alot RUSS!!

I'm really hoping the guys at Clean Your Car have this available next week, I'm desperately in need of a load of stuff and fancy some of this too.
