I will start by saying that I can't compare this product to any other SIO2 products as this is the first SIO2 spray that I've used.
My personal favorite QD type product i.e. a shine and finish enhancer after a wash and dry has been Pinnacle Crystal Mist. That product is phenomenal for me and looks even beter the next day. The new SIO2 Spray is even better!
Mike P. helped us all out when it first came out with app tips on a 60's Camaro back around Xmas time. Using his suggestions, I applied it to 3 vehicles. My DD (black 07 BMW 335), the wife's '13 Nissan Altima and a customer '16 MB C300. The idea was to test it on a.) A coated car, b.) A Collonite 845 car and c.) A vehicle with no previously applied LSP whatsoever. The idea was to challenge any claims that it can be applied over any previously applied LSP or used as a stand alone.
Mike was spot on with his recommendation to preload a plush MF with a couple squirts of product first and then a spritz on the panel. As he says, using a dry towel to spread a panel spritz simply removes too much from the paint and absorbs into the towel.
I sprayed 3 squirts on the towel and then 1 spray down half the hood. Work it around with the towel and let it haze before buffing it out with another clean, dry MF towel. The shine and slickness is amazing.
I will say the slickness varied just a little for me. The wife's car (Coll 845) and the C300 Benz (no LSP) were as slick and shiny as a frog's butt. My DD with the coating was slightly less slick but the shine was phenomenal nonetheless. I'll chalk that up to the coating.
As with Crystal Mist, all 3 looked better the next day.
I will report back on the non LSP Benz and the durability as time progresses.
Folks, I can sincerely say this stuff is a game changer for me. Depending on my Benz vehicle durability test, this just may replace my current "Wash and Spray 'Wax'" jobs.
It may seem pricey to some but as is typical of these products, a little goes a long way...think about it, 2-3 sprays to your towel and then 1 spray per panel. And it's FAST to finish an entire vehicle, cutting time.
