I agree with you about him.

It`s been rotten weather here and when it hasn`t, I`ve been washing the salt off my Lincoln and not her car. I can say however, that I saw it being rained on the other day and the water was running off it like mad, so even dirty, it appears to be holding up very well so far. I probably won`t wash it till Spring.

Richy, do you think you can give an update on this? I`m currently eyeballing The Gloss Shop, and we Sonax coatings to try out. I have been using Pearl Nano for the past year, and just yesterday went back to using a brand new bottle of Beeds I had laying around. I was quickly reminded that the Pearl Nano was much more user friendly as far as removal was concerned, and even overall gloss. I`m just looking at some alternatives to play around with before I Buy in to thePearl Nano family. Thank you

Richy as weather starts warming up How`s it seem to hold up?

It looks great. If I get a chance tomorrow, I`ll shoot a short video.

Glad to see you posting again Richy!

Richard is a selfless individual, very helpful.

I don`t think he would want to produce anything less than a stellar product.

As promised, I managed to shoot 2 short videos. The daylight was fading, but you can still see them. First real update I saw was back in January when I saw it after it had rained. The hood looked really impressive:




Sadly I did not have as good an impression tonight. The upper surfaces seemed to have failed, including the hood that had been double coated. It still stays nice and clean for the most part. This car used to be stored in a garage, but that changed last year, so it sat outside for the last 5 months during the winter. Here is a shot of it before being washed:





Here is a shot after cleaning. It still looks good for sure, but when you see the videos, you`ll get what I mean:





The first video was shot after the car was washed. When I was rinsing it off, I was very disappointed in the top surfaces like I said. The sides are holding up wonderfully. I honestly don`t get it. The second video is showing the sheeting action.

Is it possible that it`s just contaminated as it`s been sitting outside. A decon wash may revive it.

Very interesting to see this and I hope it doesn`t become a habit. We definitely have experienced different results. Just for personal notes, this sat outside during the Winter and was not washed? Also this was a daily driver and exposed to road salt? Thanks for the feedback Richy. I apologize for less than stellar results. I`ll take a look at some chemical modifications.

Just curious, did you end up applying Opti-Seal right after application?

No, only the coating.

[rwright]

No, only the coating.

Okay that eliminates interference from that. I`ll keep an eye out for reviews from other people as well. This is why I ask for feedback so that I can fix potential problems. Thank you sir.
