Has anyone tried this?

Definitely looks like snake oil...would you wash your car with detail polish?

I'd definitely...

 

I just don't see it working without running the risk of swirling the heck out of the paint. Just a good shot with the hose will remove a good deal of junk from the finish and I wouldn't want to try just rubbing that portion of the dirt off my car.

 

There is videos of that stuff all over the place. I have also seen it in shops people seem to have no problem with it... I think it is for dusty cars only though.

Thanks for the link. Now I'm even more skeptical of the product. I mean, c'mon...one product that you simply spray on and wipe off and it will:

Clean, remove oxidation, polish, wax and seal the paint.
Clean, remove stains from vinyl, rubber and carpet
Provides a protective barrier from bird droppings, acid rain, salt, etc.

So for a mere $26.90 it will literally do everything you could ever want any combination of products to do for your car. The chemistry of paint, vinyl and carpet are very different. How does one product clean them all, remove oxidation from one without discoloring the others, and leave a wax coating on one without creating a mess on the others? And just think about this: if something is harsh enough, or corrosive enough, to etch paint (bird droppings, acid rain, salt) then do you really believe that something you can just spray on and wipe off will offer a barrier that is actually stronger than the paint itself?

Nobody makes a wax or sealant that will do this. Not Meguiar's, not Adam's, not Zaino, not Natty's or P21S or Pinnacle or anyone else. Not even those $600 dealership sealants will "stop" the really nasty stuff from eating through it and damaging the paint.

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. These guys set a new benchmark for wild claims. Somebody call the snake, it wants its oil back.


Oh, and silicones are NOT bad or harmful and people need to stop perpetuating that myth. The only time silicones are bad is in a painting environment, which is why many companies make body shop safe, paintable polishes.
