I just found this even though it's 4 years old. I would wash the car, use clay bar and then wash again. Then polish and then use the spray. I do this wash and polish 2 times a year, other then that I just wash my car regularly and just add protection every time. I do this at home, never at the car wash because the machine just scratch the paint.
Waterless rubbing troubles me re rubbing abrasive surface contaminants into the paint. Looks good but I am not sure I would not prefer a traditional wash and wax. I suspect I would get the same result for a little less cost.
Because this product is advertised to be used on a dirty car. According to the manufacturer, this product is not jist a final step detailing product like a wax, or ceramic coating. Would it work better if I detailed the car first? Answer is yes, but that would not be true test of how this product is marketed.
Mate, you save more money applying it on a nicely washed car and one that has ideally been clay barred. Otherwise you'll end up using more of the coat and a longer process.
Have you done a clay bar video? By the looks of the test vehicle, it would make a good candidate. I think the product is more for the guy going to a car show and needing a product at the site that required no water for a quick buff. It does appear to do a good job for what it is.
Yes this product will work very well on a car that's been clay bar. Here is my Speed Clay bar video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-USwdAk7HvEs.html
You need to clay bar clean the surface first before applying this coat! It will not be smooth and the bottle will not run off like it does here if your car hasn't had a proper clay bar clean either right before applying this coat or recently.
I didn't clay bar because I was testing the manufacturer's claim. You can make any paint surface smooth with any cleaner wax in a bottle. But I wanted to find out if this product was really that good.
@@dial2fast In that case, it will very much depend on how new the car is and how clean the surface is. I did it on my mum's practically brand new cla that had done only 3K miles and it didn't work. But with clay barring first and then this coat, it was a remarkable combination. It kept the surfaces smooth for around 7 months, this despite my mum commuting between Kent and Essex 6 days a week as she's a surgeon. It also didn't work on my 2012 c class that probably had never had a proper clay bar clean. This time I didn't want to waste the coat, so I clay barred first and then applied the coat. Again, an excellent job. I spent my Sunday afternoon yesterday doing my 2013 c63 - same successful combination.
There's definitely a difference on how fast the water 'dissolves' , especially if you'd coat the car with multiple layers spread over time (which you should)
Not a scam! I've been using it on my and my mum's car for over a year! But you must clay bar clean the surfaces first! Otherwise the coat won't have the same ability to nicely coat it and give it that smooth shine. I can add you on FB to show you photos of my and mum's cars! It does an excellent job.
