Finally got my elise yesterday
I picked it up from San Diego and drove it to the bay area arriving at 5 in the morning. Just happy I finally have my baby.

Can you elaborate on the application and results? I'm always worried about treatments on plastics / rubber, especially on the interior. But, if it can get rid of the scuff marks I have on the door sills and on the trim piece around the headlight switches, I'm game.

Great car, by the way. Exactly year, options and colors that I have. Perfect choice!

Thanks for the comments guys
I'm also interested in the back to black product. Do any of you guys have before and after pictures of it? And does it make it feel or look greasy? because of so that is not what I'm looking for.

Thanks,
Eric

it's not really greasy. You can't use too much. Just have a separate towel to wipe dry after you apply the product. I think it says to leave it in for a couple minutes before wiping it down.

I use a back on black product on my sills, works great. Apply. Wipe off.

Nervous? Armor All works too but not as good

Best bet? Back to Black for sills, Armour All for dash.

LOL. ...and it's a little over 9 lbs for the Exige S. Well maybe lower since the car is underrated.
