~One man’s opinion / observations~



Teflon ®:

A synthetic polymer formula produced by Du Pont Chemicals, they state;� The addition of a Teflon® fluoropolymer resin does nothing to enhance the properties of any car wax, we have no data that indicates the use of Teflon® to be beneficial in car waxes�. Also Teflon requires a temperature of 600oF to enable cross-linking (bonding) to a surface.





~Hope this helps~

Many household grade car products now have teflon listed on the bottle.



If anyone is trying to get you to have a teflon treatment done on your car saying it will improve the lustre of your car`s paint. DON`T BELIEVE THEM



I have two products with teflon in them or Du Pont XONYL as it`s known in the trade

All it does is make the paint bloody smooth. That`s it. That`s why my malco pro flash wax with liquid carnuba wax and xonyl makes my car`s paint so slippery.



The other product i have with teflon is omikron bodyguard. The older version of bodyseal. The other ingredients do the flashy work, the teflon is just a smoothness enhancer



The new bodyseal is totally different. It`s pink colored, not white , is caring for your paint as it`s really soft and no where near as abrasive as the bodyguard



It`s not really neccessary to use products with teflon but i found out after buying the malco pro stuff that it had teflon in it.

Oh well i don`t care - it`s good ****

When I just got my new truck they were pushing this teflon thing real hard. I had to finally tell them if you mention it one more time the deal is off. Why would I pay you and outragiuos amount of money for something when I wax it about 1 time a week anyway.



The spill he was giving sounded to good to be true and from reading here it seems i made a wise choice and left it go.
