I was completely surprised at the result, it does work. First, I cleaned the car completely, detailed it. Then applied the coating, which was really easy to do. Much easier and cleaner than applying wax. Used a small microfiber towel over a small area and then dried it with another towel and the paint became very shiny and smooth to the touch. The entire car came out shiny and reflective in the sun. It hardly put a dent in the contents, too. Now, the interesting thing is that since it’s started raining, the paint doesn’t hold all the dirt and for the most part stays pretty darn clean! The picture shows my car after being in the rain, dry the next day, but not cleaned. I used this on my motorcycle as well and it really improves the shine and resists dust and dirt as well. Great product!
