Hey fellow detailers,

I know that this question has been asked over and over, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer to this.

Since Power Lock was released 3 months ago, has anybody observed a lack of durability?

Thanks,
Yan
 
No. I used it on my mom's Jetta so I could watch the durability. I put it on the week after it was released and it is still beading like the first rain. Not as slick as it was, but still looks good. If you are on the fence as far as buying it, get it. I have tried Wolfgang and Poorboy's EX-P and Powerlock. Powerlock is by far my favorite in application and removal.
 
I've got it on a Nissan Altima, my son's daily driver. It was very easy to apply and remove and was/is super slick. I am still impressed abount a month into it, water beads well and rolls off during rain. Car is super easy to wash. I would buy it again, no problems.
 
No drop off in past six weeks, while it doesnt bead super small beads, it still seems to bead at same level which obviously is just one measurement. Stuff sure looks good and easy to apply/remove.
 
Great, purchased 32oz from AG. :props::props::props:
 
As far as beading, it is still going strong-ish. The horizontal surfaces are starting to show some wear and tear with larger beading sizes but the vertical surfaces still have small beads everywhere. My guess is this coat of Powerlock is wearing down and calling in the reinforcements. I am very pleased with it though seeing as the Jetta is a daily driver and sits outside 24/7.

Thanks for the info. So the consensus is that the protection weakens on the horizontal surfaces after 3-3.5 months?
 
Yes. But that is to be expected with any sealant or wax because those are the surfaces taking the brunt of mother nature the most. However, Powerlock is one of the most, if not the most, durable sealants I have used.
 
I was hoping that it would maintain its slickness, but after only a couple of washes, the slickness is similar to other sealants I have used (not there). I can't comment on durability yet as it has only been a couple of weeks for me.
