That is the question isn't it? When we say "How long it lasts" what does that actually mean? If you mean it will bead water for 12 months or more, ok, but to me beading water doesn't mean jack squat. What impresses me is, how well does a product protect against real life issues like bug...

If you had issues taking off Mr Fix, you probably did not take it off correctly. I found it much easier to use than Cquartz Products I have used in the past. The trick with Mr Fix, as per the instructions, you have to first take off with a Damp Microfiber towel, then immediately wipe dry with...

I understand where the OP is coming from. Here is the deal. Personally? I think SiO2 is way over hyped. Yes it's glossy, yes it's chemical resistant, but oddly a decent thunderstorm and not being able to detail your car immediately afterwards may cause water etching so badly on some paints...

Xzilon is a carbon based polymer nano protectant. I actually really like the stuff. Leaves a super glossy and super slick surface and is easy to apply. Xzilon got a bad name from it being oversold at car dealerships for ridiculous prices. the product itself though is pretty good if you can...

I find it interesting how people are stating they get 1.5 to 2 yrs out of a product when they really aren't? If your continuedly applying products on top to "maintain" the coating then how do you really know its lasting you 2 yrs? NOBODY I know that has put a "coating" on their car leaves it...

Bringing back an old thread Only because I called DuraGloss and spoke to Jerry who is a chemist for them. What he told me is Interesting enough for me to post so others may understand the product better. Forgive me if I miss spell words, just trying to explain the best I can since most of...

Much respect to you my friend and I am sure your car looks great with that turtle wax and has for years, now that is awesome. If it ain't broke, don't fix it 👍

Anytime, don't get me wrong I am a car enthusiast and I want my cars to look great, but you take into the account, time, effort, longevity for the money? I just don't see it. There are so many good products these days that are less expensive, less time consuming and though have to be applied...

Ceramic Coatings to me are totally not worth it for a daily driven car. Yes, some will argue this point but I am going off my own experience. I had CQuartz UK 3.0 + Gliss applied to my wife's truck, and my car about a year ago. Now, there is SSOO much hype over these products of whatever...

Thank You all for taking the time to help me in this endeavour. It has been very frustrating and expensive. I realize much of the answer is with trial and error and a coating may be ideal. Honestly now a days with 3 teenagers the question is time. How do you all find the time to do this...

Which one and with what polish? The 105 alone?

I know a local place wants $1800 to prep my car and ok to cost with warranty. That seems a little steep. Jeff

So what do you guys recommend? I would like to polish the car it's due anyway seeing some slight swirl action I just don't know what to buy as per pass or polish? I mean the market is flooded and this paint is soft in the sun does that make it a "soft" paint period? Just don't want to waste...

I have always been a fan of the CTS V series, 1500hp should be doable, but may be limited to tire size on the rear like in the earlier Corvettes. Traction is what will be that cars worst enemy. The Paint looks beautiful....would love to see this car when its done. Is he going with a Crate...

Hello Folks, I need some help here, the frustration is just getting to me so bad. Over the years I have owned numerous cars by various brands, mainly Asian cars and while some had great paint, others did not. So I moved away from Asian Cars and purchased a 2013 Shadow Blue VW GTI (rare color...

I know CG have a sample kit with their V series polishes. Would that be something to try? At least i can try different things at a lower cost to see what works and what doesn't? As for pads it gets so confusing. So many top choose from. Some help with that would be great. I like the hex...

Hello Folks, been really scratching my head on what to do for my poor 2013 VW GTI. I have never owned a vehicle that paint seemed so sensitive to scratch. I had my car at the Dealer to get a warranted repair done, and specifically requested they NOT wash my car. Well, they did, and there...

It varies on the car, I have used an infrared Thermometer on the paint before, typically 170F-180F are typical on the roof, hood can reach over 200F, right above the engine in the area of the turbo charger. Well, I am on the fence about what to do. I wouldn't mind doing the job myself but...

Thank You for your input. I apply the PL about every 4-6 weeks. I feel that that any polish in the environment that I live in just wears out very quickly. You can just tell after washing it, the bugs dont come off as easily, granted the car still "Beads" but that isn't a real indicator of...

I agree Anthony, I realize that you cant "Layer" the sealants, I apply them every 4-6 weeks to Strengthen them. Where I live really takes a beating on paint. 125F heat in the summer, sand storms, bugs, your BEST sealant from ANY brand is only good for 4 weeks here. Being Dark blue, I want...
