Anybody tried this?
Has anyone tried this stuff? The link was at the bottom of one of the pages on this forum.

If you've used the stuff, how well did it work? Is it better than wax as they claim?

RE: Anybody tried this?
Thanks! I knew it sounded too good to be true.
So what would you recommend putting on my '07 grabber orange GT considering I'm not as young as I used to be? What's easy to apply, protects well, and lasts? And is there anything that helps prevent water spotting? I hand wash and then use a California water blade and microfiber cloths to dry my car, but that's still a lot of work for an old man.

All of the products that I carry are easy on/ easy off with no residue. They can be even applied in the sun if needed.
I would recommend going with my Light Polish to clean the paint and to bring out more shine and reflection. The Polish will also prep the paint for the next steps. Now I would apply my Wet Glaze, this will add a lot of wetness and depth to the paint plus add a really slick feel. Lastly, since you are wanting good durability my Hyper Shine Sealant is the way to go, it will add great protection plus add some more in the looks department. If you even want to go a step further you could top the sealant with my Wet Wax. This will add an even deeper look plus add even more protection.
For washing I use nothing but Optimum No Rinse. You put 2 ounces of product with 2 gallons of water. Dip you mitt into the bucket and then do 1 panel at a time and drying that panel right away with a microfiber. You do this for the whole vehicle. This way you don't get waterspots and you don't have to worry about water dripping out of all of the panels and crevices. The No Rinse leaves a very glossy look plus leaves a slick finish, it has polymers that lift the dirt so it doesn't scratch the paint. I use this in my mobile detailing business all of the time, the only time I break out a hose is if there is a lot of mud on the vehicle, then I spray the mud off and proceed with the No Rinse. There are many members on here that have tried the No Rinse and love it also. Let me know if you have anymore questions. I will be glad to help!
