This is pretty cool. I always liked 845 when I was still using sealants.

If this spray is derived from 845, I just hope they've found a way to keep it from separating as easily and hardening when it gets cool. Having to shake your spray wax and stick it in the bucket of hot water for a while to soften up would be a bummer.

Regarding the comments on the Rupes pricing, according to the TRC video (day 1), they have plastic gears and are lighter and quieter than their corded counterparts (and as iBrid machines can be run on the battery or cord). My point is Jason Rose detailed how they are not the corded machines converted for battery, they are complete redesigns. (waiting for the attacks on the plastic gears; Jason referred to them as "poly-fiber")

PS Jason Rose said the list price for the kit for the 15 or 21 (or maybe both) is going to be about $900, so expect to see it for $899. That includes pads, polishes, batteries etc. How far we have come from people trying to get the original PC at Lowes for $120 because buying it here for $150 was too much.

PPS Sorry, I guess most of that tech info was in the Rupes video that someone posted earlier, that I didn't watch until now.

Thanks for sharing for those of us who haven't made it/might not make it to the video. :xyxthumbs:

There's ~6 minutes of the video to watch if you skip all the fluff. It's starts here: Introducing the RUPES BigFoot iBrid Polishers! - YouTube

Interestingly the specification tabulation show a run time of 30-40 minutes and a charge time of 50-55 minutes, which kind of contradicts both earlier in this video and in the TRC video where they suggest "continuous operation". To be fair, you're going to have some down time while the other battery is charging, so in the real world you may be able to achieve continuous operation, but not according to their spec sheet.

In their video they mentioned gloss black, piano black trim. People might like it for that.

I haven't decided if including a brush makes me like it more or less.

But I've yet to find something that I like more than leatherique.

Wait, coating remover? I'm guessing this is only for their coating (or specific coatings)?

With two batteries it is continuous?

Also, thanks for the pricing info from Jason Rose.

Jason said it's 40 minutes run time, 40 minutes to charge, which is a little more optimistic than the specs. When the Nano came out, they said the same thing, that the run time was equal to the charge time, did that turn out to be accurate? The Day 2 TRC vid goes into depth on these new machines (I think it was Day 2, it's all running together for me now).
 
Gtechniq HALO V2 FLEXIBLE FILM COATING

HALO V2 enhances the performance of paint protection film (PPF) and vinyl. It’s a chemically bonding, ultra-dense flexible film that becomes the permanent surface of the film – protecting it from the elements a car faces on a daily basis.

The density of the coating and its low surface energy improve dirt and water repellency of PPF or vinyl. It also helps to prevent staining from dirt ingression, as well as reducing yellowing caused by UV rays.

Overall, HALO V2 keeps the PPF looking in a much better condition and makes it much easier for people to keep their car clean following PPF/ vinyl application.

Rigorous real-world and laboratory testing has proven HALO V2 to be compatible with all types of gloss, matte, and satin vinyl and PPF. It is also proven to work on self-healing films.

Contents:
30ml or 50ml HALO V2 Flexible Film Coating
One Pair of Nitrile Gloves
AP2 Ultra Soft Foam Filled Applicator
Master Instruction Leaflet
Gtechniq Window Sticker

Wait, what? Shouldn't those be disposable? I hope they are cheap I have been looking for some cheap MF's that I can use for tar removal and throw away after.

Nothing quite so dramatic as a new product methinks. Style over substance would be my guess. Gyeon has never been much interested in the Graphene hullabaloo.

Somebody said that Ge had to do with graphene chemically I believe. The video showed water beads so I automatically assumed some new type of protection.

Now that I know about new bottles and rewatched I think it just a super fancy bottle commercial.

I'll likely try Gyeon EcoWash and Total Remover. Curious if EcoWash is like Ech20.

The Rag Company are certainly not the first to do something like that, but good to see nonetheless.

I've been using something similar for a few years now. While I've seen people use them for coating removal, I tend to just use them for dirty jobs that would otherwise ruin a nice towel. Metal polishing, tar removal, adhesive removal, tire prep................
