It's good, but there's some tricks and notes to observe
Being an avid detailer for over 30 years, I am a pushover to try new products like these.
Now, to start, yes, it does "work", and it does leave a nice finish, but is it better than anything else out there? Or better than something like P&S Beadmaker? I would say I'm not convinced (Just yet).
.
For starters, since this does seem to have the nano particulates in the fluid medium, you want to shake it well, and you want to wear gloves, as you will get powder type stains on your hands, similar to handling a printer inkjet cartridge. It's not as "bad" as that, but it is noticeable.
.
Secondly, this product is in a petroleum type medium (Seems to be oil based). Another reason to wear nitrile gloves, as you should with most if not all these products.
.
Thirdly, do not use foam type applicator pads or microfiber covered foam pads. The reason being is that the fine nano particulates will immediately soak through the sponge medium and head to the center, so in essence all you'll get is the oil based medium, which sort of defeats the purpose.
.
Fourthly, this seems to permanently stain microfiber cloths, even when I wash them in hot with a micofiber detergent designed to wash microfiber, but that's not a huge issue but something to be aware of.
.
I have applied this to both the paint and plastic headlamps, tail lamps, mirror caps, etc. It works very well and does leave a nice coating. I haven't had a good amount of rain yet to fully test the beading capability, but it "Seems" like it should be adequate. Application is fairly easy and the medium is similar to something like a light "Spray wax". I used a relatively thin microfiber cloth to cut down on the material soaking and loss of product. Simply wipe it on, thoroughly, working it in and let it dry to a haze. I removed with my fine side of a good quality microfiber towel, and then finished it off with spraying lightly, some distilled water vapor and then getting that nice level set wipe down.
.
Good product, but I'll update as I work with this more, especially as the weather gets better.
