Stick with one of the name brand products you can read about daily on here. That stuff is just a gimmick.

Avoid it. Paint needs to be properly prepped and re-lsp'd (wax or sealant) at a minimum of once a year.

My credo rings in: What good is a wax or a sealant that lasts longer than other products, if it brings you an inferior finish for a longer time?

Interesting.

I don't know that I'd try it on my car....but who knows for a DD. I'm curious to see if it really works or is just a bunch of hype.

Remember, there are some really good technological advances out there....some that would blow you away or sound like fairy tales. Then again....there's also plenty of BS out there....
