Evercoat Lubri-Shine



http://store1.yimg.com/I/yhst-19076222300531_1846_93041



Price & Price per Ounce



16 oz. bottle - $5.95 & $.37/oz.



Manufacturer Claims



Ideal as a final wipe down to achieve a brilliant show car appearance. This silicone-free formula quickly removes smudges, fingerprints, compound dust and other finishing residues. It is an excellent lubricant for Clay MagicĂ‚®. Contains no silicones or waxes. Body Shop Safe.



Packaging



It comes in a sturdy bottle with a decent sprayer. The label is nice, and the directions are easy to read and follow.



Color/Scent/Viscosity



It is a mint green type color with a slight cologne smell and a watery consistency.



Application



Like most other QDs, I used one or two sprays per panel and buffed dry with a microfiber towel.



Overall Thoughts



I am very pleased with this product. From my experience, it cleans and leaves a finish equal to or better than Final Inspection. It wipes clean and doesn`t seem to streak with one or two buffing passes. It is very easy to use and performs as stated and expected.



Cons/Complaints



I don`t have any complaints to report so far. I`ve used about 10-12 oz. and plan to order another bottle.



Purchasing



I purchased my bottle from Ranney at Pak Shak: http://pakshak.com/evercoat-lubri-shine.html



Thanks to Sean for allowing me to use his review format.

Thanks Zane for the review.





Can you compare to any other QD`s?

As far as overall performance, I would say that it is similar to Final Inspection, except I sometimes get a little smearing with FI and haven`t had that problem with the Evercoat. It leaves a clean and *somewhat* slicker finish. It doesn`t really ehance the appearance, so it can`t be directly compared to something like Z6, Quik Shine, etc.

Basically it leaves the finish as the LSP last applied does then?



Sounds like a good choice if you don`t want to change the look of what is already on the car. :)

That`s exactly right, Scott.



I like to use it as a final wipe down to ensure all water spots, polish/wax, finger prints, dust, etc. have been removed.



I also need to try it as a clay lubricant.

How does it stack up against Mother`s Showtime?

Mmm... Showtime smells sooo good and works pretty well. Too bad they don`t sell it in gallons, or it`d be my QD of choice.



Thanks for the writeup!
