Long overdue update. Winter was long, cold, and wet. I gave up on trying to do any maintenance on this car. It was out in the elements all winter. It's seen consistent rain for months, plus a fair amount of snow and some ice.
Here's a couple of weeks ago with dew on the roof when it was dirty. Tape lines still visible, which means (to me) all the products are still doing something. I have a few others over the last few months I can post, but they look similar but more wet.
As a reminder, the roof products are laid out like this:
The hood is Duragloss Nano, PA Cosmic, and McKee's coating going left to right.
I gave the car a wash and the put the hose to the hood and the roof. Nothing else has been done to it since the last time I washed it. I hit it with the hose, then foamed it (barely) with some D114, then hit it with a pressure washer, then followed up with McKee's rinseless at 128:1 using MF towels.
This initial sheeting took place within a few seconds:
The was 5-10 seconds later:
The hood about 5-10 seconds after the hose:
Then about 30 seconds later...
For the roof, the Track Claw seems to be still hanging on and is actually repelling water faster than the coatings, which is more than a little surprising. The CQuartz and the DG Nano are still repelling water fairly well, if slowly. You can see the McKee's and Sonus Ion still doing something, but even more slowly. The DG Nano and McKee's are performing similarly on the hood. The PA seems to have mostly quit in both locations.
