Saw a commercial on this product the other day, and since I had an unexpected day off today, I thought I'd wash the car and give it a try. Comes with the polish, applicator and microfiber towel.
Kind of greasy feel but you supposedly do the whole car at once, so I washed and dried the vehicle, put it in the garage to cool, and got to it. The directions said hot surfaces and direct sunlight are not a problem, but I just wanted to work in the shade. I covered the car surfaces except for the glass, and used the supplied towel and two more to "rub it in" and wipe off the excess.
Since it was my first time, I can see where I didn't get a good even coat in places, but it actually looks pretty damn good. Oddly, the black painted areas on the hood aren't "glistening" in the same way as the red base coat, but maybe that just needs a detailing spray touchup to bring out the luster. I'm going to let it sit for a bit before cleaning up the glass, detailing a few black moldings, and then the usual quick interior clean. I'll try to remember to get some pics of it before covering it up--it looks that good.
Tomorrow, I'll try it on my '97 GT vert, and if there's time, on one of the Fox Bodies over the weekend. $17 and used about 1/2"worth of liquid, so there should be many many applications in the bottle. Will have to see how long it holds up. Note the car never sees rain if I can help it, so I won't have any observations regarding weathering on the red car, but will on the other Mustangs.
A tentative thumbs up.
