I know that this particular product is mainly advertised for the plastic parts of the car, but since my car is ancient and was in a terrible condition, I took the courage and... applied it to ALL the exterior surfaces (plastics and metal).
I initially used a brush to spread a moderate amount on the surfaces and then evenly distributed it using a sponge roller. I then left it for about 5-7 minutes (I had seen from other reviews that it dries very quickly) and then cleaned off the excess product with old rags (to avoid leaving lint as described by other users). The whole process was done in a shady area in the afternoon to prevent the oil from immediately sticking, and I worked in sections, as the car panels are divided. The front bumper was the most challenging part, as it had many details. VERY IMPORTANT for anyone who wants to do the same, the car must be washed first as thoroughly as possible to remove dirt and dust.
After leaving it for a day, I noticed that there were inconsistencies on the surfaces that resulted from the way I wiped it with the rags. To fix this, I used the roller again, but this time with a very small amount of product. With one application, I made long, straight strokes all over the car and then did not wipe it with anything (a risky move), but there was no residue left from the oil. I also applied a little bit on the headlights, which I had cleaned with another cleaner earlier to make them shinier.
If you want to be convinced of the results, you can simply look at the photos. The car has TRANSFORMED and looks many years younger. The black plastics on the sides became black again, and the red color returned to a very vibrant and glossy state. The important thing now is whether this shine will last. I know that plastics retain their color because I had applied a small portion a month ago and have since taken it for a wash. As for the main body, I will come back after some time to compare its appearance then.
