I really couldn't tell much from the video. I hate when people do tests like that. It shows one EXTREME case (I'm not gonna be bashing a lighter against the car), and not a word was spoken and all I saw was a poorly angled shot that is better focused on the cosmic than anything. Would love some high res pics to back it up. Even better, would be some 'real world' tests, like buffing with a microfiber towel dry, or tossing some find sand into the car and rubbing it with a towel, to see which coatings protect from real-world marring the best; not which protect from being bashed with the back end of a lighter the best. For all I know (and actually, it's kind of what I suspect), there was a level of "paint transfer", if you will, from the lighter that was best deflected by the Cosmic. But it may have had the most severe scratches! It's often hard to pick up fine scratches, or even deep scratches, with a camera. ESPECIALLY if it's softly focused, at an angle. Very poor video to compare the products with. I wish so much that they had taken the time with that test to really show some definitive results by taking some good quality, high res pictures. Using perhaps the 'finger trick' to help focus on the marring and scratches.
Nothing against the product, it's just that that video didn't really impress me is all. "Bad science" in other words. Perhaps good marketing, but, bad science. Reminded me of one of those "amazing product" infomercial demonstrations. Only without the over-the-top announcer.
I'll definitely look into Cosmic though. Anyone else have experience with it? Especially in an environment like a daily driver getting frequent waterless washes?
