UPDATE!!! 06/01/2015
Just under 30 days on the coatings. Almost 3k miles on them though! We just got back from a week long road trip.
We had a variety of driving conditions. Clear skies, rain, drizzle, road construction, bugs, and more bugs, straight intense sun, shady, sappy, tree canopy lined roads, etc.
My observations: PBL paint coating. Bugs wiped off easily with some UWW and a waterless wash towel. Car was 'dirty/grimy' from driving. Not hammered, but you could tell it was not clean. I used some UWW on the front end and mirrors on the first night we stopped. It cleaned up well...it just didn't finish well. It streaked like crazy. Now, this could be due to my UWW %, I know I mixed it a little heavy before the trip, but it really streaked and was a bear to wipe down without making me nervous about marring the surface.
Did an actual wash when we arrived at the cabin. WOW! The water just blows right off the surfaces! Very impressive. It appears to be very hydrophobic. I washed our friends 911 Cabriolet also and he commented on how his car was not doing the same to the water and that he could even see the shampoo was having a difficult time 'sticking' to the surface.
Surface still feels slick and still has a nice 'glow' to it.
:xyxthumbs::xyxthumbs::xyxthumbs: three thumbs up so far!
PBL glass coating: As I said in my application review: very user friendly and easy to apply/remove. Glass looks great. During the wash, water blew right off/rolled right off the glass. Nice.
Driving in the rain: Not impressed at all. I would have thought that the water would have rolled right off during driving. It DID NOT. I had to be going well over 45mph before the glass started to clear itself. I was very surprised. I would have thought it would have been much better. I have used other glass 'sealants' before and they have out performed this IMO. (my wife even made the statement that RainX performs better)
My rear glass is somewhat slanted and in a relief: the water DID bead, but just sat there. It did not go anywhere at all...even after the rain stopped and I was at highway speeds. I was puzzled.
I may let this run its' course or I am thinking of polishing it off and putting something else back on that I know performs to my standards.
:xyxthumbs: One thumbs up, maybe 1.5 due to the ease of use.
Well that's my early review!!!
