I'm not sure how it will be marketed yet. I asked the chemist if he'd be willing to make 100 or so samples to give out for wider testing and feedback. I'm waiting for an answer.

Doing any such test on the Cayenne is worthless because I keep it perfectly polished. I will swirl up the test horse on Wednesday and we'll find out. Guards Red is a good test color because it shows swirls well, and you can tell it the sealant gives a darkening effect.

What about chemical and abrasives? I assume AIO/Prime would remove it? Or a polish? Kind scary if it's so strong AIO wouldn't remove it.

DavidB, in terms of appearance which of the present acrylic based products does this #49 look like Menzerna FMJ? Klasse SG? Werkstatt Jett?

I'm wondering perhaps if a solvent such as Prepsol, 3m General Adhesive Cleaner, or Valugard's New Car Prep can remove it. | |
