DAY 1 JUDGING
1. How easy was the product to apply?
a. Goes on like butter and spreads evenly
-Spritzed my applicated with the spray sealant and this helped in spreading.
2. How easy is the product to buff off?
c. Some difficulty removing film.
-I think I applied the product a little too thick at first and had some difficulty with removal, but as I applied thinner it was a breeze to buff off
3. Does product leave white residue on trim?
c. No
4. What is the clarity of the finish after initial application?
a. Perfectly clear & masks fine imperfections (swirls)
-Perfectly clear reflections!
5. How does the finish look after initial application?
a. Dark, wet and very glossy
-Very dark and wet, today we had mostly overcast skies and my car parked next to others appeared very wet and glossy.
6. How does the finish feel after initial application?
a. Silky smooth and very slippery
-Was very impressed with the slickness, when opening my door today after spritzing with the RDF Spray Detailer my hand kept slipping and when shutting the door just slipped out of my fingers. Very impressed thus far!
Spray Sealant: After washing with ONR I spritzed a panel with the spray sealant and the slickness with just the spray was above what I have experienced after two coats of Zaino. I was very impressed with this spray. I especially like how it comes out as a fine mist.

Will be sure to take better pictures if the sun decides to come out...The pictures don't do the products justice, even in this crappy weather my car actually looks nice and wet.
When I first recieved the kit I couldn't wait to try out the Tire Sealant so I cleaned off a tire and applied, this is after 2 days of driving in obviously wet and dirty conditions.

Prior to day 2 judging, please lightly spritz and lightly buff the paint using the RDF Detail Spray provided.
1. What is the clarity of the finish?
a. Perfectly clear & masks fine imperfections (swirls)
- I took my Brinkman to my finish and was surprised to see it seems as though the RDF sealant actually does mask minor marring. My finish appeared perfect under the Brinkman
2. How does the finish look?
-About the same as day 1, glossy, wet and very reflective
3. How does the finish feel?
b. Silky smooth and some slickness
-The slickness had diminished a little bit, but after a quick spray down of the car using the QD, the slickness was through the roof.
Additional Notes: The QD and spray sealant misting is perfect for application. Both products are very easy to spread and buff off.
I am beyond impressed with this product line. I just stood outside and looked at my finish and could not believe the clarity of the finish and wetness. The tire and trim sealant is one of the best I have ever used. It makes tires look brand new and stays that way, with no sling what so ever. Tomorrow we are finally suppose to have sunshine so I will be posting full sun pictures tomorrow morning showing off the reflections, clarity, and wetness I have been experiencing. | |
