At RENEW-PRO, we tend to have a car detail and testing session each week. But before we can properly test our products, the first step is a good wash. It is critical to follow some simple guidelines to ensure that you safely remove all dirt and residue that sticks to your car’s surfaces. To start, we always recommend using a long-arm, soft-bristle brush to make it easier to get at those hard-to-reach places. Make sure you are not using just a standard plastic bristle brush. Most of these types of brushes have tips hard enough to cause micro-scratches in clear coats. Also, use a minimum of a half bucket of water. This will allow dirt particles, sand, and other contaminants to drop from the brush to the bottom of the bucket. Dip the cleaning brush only in the top area of bucket to minimize cross-contamination.

High quality car wash soaps are pH-balanced so they will not break down existing car wax or paint sealants. They are formulated with lubricants like coconut oil which encapsulate dirt particles and allow them to be harmlessly rinsed away to minimize the chance of scratches and swirl marks.

Now that you’re almost done, take care, as the drying process is where many scratches originate. Use only microfiber towels or a leather (or synthetic) drying chamois. Cotton towels and other fabrics can finely scratch clear coats.

Now that your car is perfectly washed and dried, it’s ready for a quick wipe with a RENEW-PRO product for a long-lasting finish.

Believe me, I know how convenient it can be to send your car through an automated car wash for a little touch up. But remember that all automated washes utilize strong detergents and are usually staffed by poorly-paid hourly workers who can’t be expected to have a deep understanding of car care and finishes. We at RENEW-PRO never recommend these types of washes, which will almost certainly lessen the longevity of any finish product on your paint and trim.

NOTHING beats a hand wash with a soft-tip brush and microfiber towels.

We strongly suggest that you avoid the use of silicone-based products (Armor-All, 303, and many similar mainstream products) on the inside or outside of your vehicle. Silicone will leave a shiny but slippery residue that will not only be short-lived but will damage the surface by degrading the polymers that make up the originally manufactured surface. In addition, silicone-based products should never be applied to RVs, trailers, golf carts, and motorcycles.

RENEW-PRO does NOT contain silicone. RENEW-PRO products are designed to actually replenish the original polymers while forming a durable dry seal on dashboards, trim, and tires. It can handle numerous washes while blocking contaminants, repelling water, and blocking UV rays.

Because we never use slippery ingredients like silicone or active detergents, RENEW-PRO products are perfectly safe to use on grips, footwells, saddles, seats, flooring, and pedals. And RENEW-PRO actually ‘feeds’ and restores the surface, extending life and preventing dry rot. RENEW-PRO is a favorite with dealers and riders for its ability to save parts from replacement and to add value to showroom inventory.

RENEW-PRO supplies co-polymer essential feeding elements that restore the original composition of the surface and create a dry-seal ozone and UV block. This technology also serves to retard the 'blooming' and 'off-gassing' processes and greatly enhances the retention of protective elements within the surface. RENEW-PRO BLAK also contains carbon black and is ideal for the restoration of faded black surfaces and rejuvenation of their protective properties.

An online search quickly tells you that tire dry rot is a big and expensive problem. Top search inquiries include “How to keep tires from dry rotting”, “How to tell if tires are dry rotted”, “How long does it take for tires to dry rot?”, and “Protect tires from sun damage.”

RENEW-PRO BLAK has become a favorite tire dry rot prevention product in the RV and golf cart industries. Get a permanent fix for rubber, plastic, and vinyl fading and cracking with RENEW-PRO - BLAK, SATN, and GLOZ, which supply copolymer essential elements that restore the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) composition of the surface. RENEW-PRO also creates a dry-seal ozone and UV block with infused zinc and titanium oxides. This technology also serves to retard the 'blooming' and 'off-gassing' processes and greatly enhances the retention of protective elements within the surface. This dry seal also keeps surfaces much cleaner. RENEW-PRO BLAK also contains a high level of carbon black. It is ideal for the restoration of faded black surfaces, because carbon black is a competitive UV absorber. RENEW-PRO products are silicone-free, oil-free, and form a dry seal with no active petrochemical solvents.

We at RENEW-PRO believe in a shared responsibility to protect and preserve the environment. In the coming months, we will be testing biodegradable packaging and seeking Green Seal approval as part of our sustainability strategy and efforts to reduce our carbon footprint.

RENEW-PRO’s innovative co-polymer formula offers a simple, one-time, one-wipe application that restores color and shine to faded trim, tires, and other outdoor surfaces. One wipe-on application protects for months to years.
