Definitely lasts more than most and is high performing longer than most.
Wowo’s is substantial feeling substance but I’m positive it won’t last longer than Cancoat... but feel free to prove me wrong, Wowo.
Has Anyone Tried WoWo`s Care-Care Chemical Products??

The only thing I tried is show stoppers. It is nice if one is lookin for gloss without masking their LSP. Although it does hang around for a wash. Fun product. After I use this bottle I won’t be buying it again. Other products can accomplish the same thing.
It has a tendency to be a bit streaky at times. Other than that nothing really stood out to me as a must have.

I don`t know yet. If I get 9-10month`s I honestly will be impressed.
I may drive the Hyundai into the ground. Luckily at 148k Hyundai replaced the long block for free. Evidently, I was supposed to have gotten a new one back in 2015. But someone filed for a new engine under my VIN. And I fell through the cracks. The service department was most helpful and Hyundai agreed to replace the block. Even though I was past the warranty period. I now have almost 1520000.

I’ll be amazed if you get 6 months on a daily driver in Georgia heat (meant to ask if this sleeps under a roof at night). But I’ll be rooting for that and more. Keep us updated!

Yes both vehicles are garage kept except when at work. And the Georgia heat is no joke. I do park under a tree during the summer months.

I`m over the other side of the pond and have used some Wowo`s products for maybe 4 years now, in particular Crystal Sealant as it is a cheap product that promises good durability. It isn`t a ceramic/Si02 product according to Wowo`s. Fraser of Wowo`s posted this thread a few years ago explaining the benefits of the product:
https://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=399016&highlight=crystal+sealant
In this thread Brian1612, who does a lot of reliable product testing, got 7.5 months out of it on wheels that were covering 300 miles a week (8500 miles roughly) and before he stripped it, they were still performing. I have had an easy 6 months out of it, before I got bored and tested something else. It can do 12 months on paint a daily driver in mild Welsh weather, washed gently. The performance profile over that time is different to something like Cancoat which has better hydrophobics straight off and it maintains the higher level throughout, predictably. Whilst CS starts at a lower level, my experience is that it holds on to a decent performance better than any other non coating product I have used and has good chemical resistance.
Tc99m has the right idea with application - thin, small sections, coating like. Immediately wipe straight off with a very slightly damp towel, and have a second towel ready to do a final buff. Like most sealants, it benefits from a cure which improves slickness and gloss. I find it has a bit of a shine like FK1000P, not sharp, but like thicker clearcoat. That`s why I responded to a post by Accumulator previously. It`s like a liquid, more durable FK1000P. It is versatile too, it can be used in a foam cannon, 50 ml in 450 ml of water and used as a rinse on spray sealant.
I have a range of their waxes too - Signature Wax, Contact 121, Butter Wax and Nanowax. They have simplified their range since, but I love Nanowax. Very easy to use and great hydrophobics, plus strong durability on well prepped surfaces. It`s a shame they have stopped selling it. I have recently bought Ceramic Booster in a sale, but I have yet to use it. I suspect it might be like CS, but we`ll see.

Great info! Do you know if Contact 121 also is NOT SiO2/ceramic? I had been trying to find out it’s general ingredients.

As far as I know, Contact121 isn`t ceramic/SiO2 but uses that technology apparently. I think from what I have read/seen, based on what many company`s have marketed their `ceramic` products as, Crystal Sealant and Contact121 could potentially be labelled as ceramic, but the owner thinks that for the most part, this is a marketing sham and to use SiO2 properly in products isn`t as easy or worthwhile as the dozens of products would lead us to think, certainly not at the prices being charged.
The Nanocoat wax I mentioned was interesting in that it wasn`t SiO2 but a combination of liquid Wurtzite and Boron Nitride instead. Wowo`s claimed that compared to Contact 121 it was more glossy, had a contact angle of 124 degrees and was double the durability and even more durable than Crystal Sealant. It was also pretty expensive so I think the reason they`re not selling it any more is because when the Rag Company came on board, they saw the costs involved and `streamlined` the offer. I have a pot and whilst I haven`t tested the durability claims fully, the looks are very interesting. Highly reflective, more so than anything I`ve used, including coatings and sealants. I really like that sharp sealant look and this does that even more than Contact 121. It also maintains it after washing and washes longer than any other product I can think of too.

^^Apparently I had found somewhere that stated that Crystal Sealant has nano-resin and siloxane. That’s probably what you are referring to above... not your classic type of SiO2 coating, but considered by many to be a coating nonetheless, but as I’m learning a lot more goes into a product than the main ingredient such as siloxane.

Had some light rain today. 2 month old Crystal Sealant on my dirty hood.

I`m guessing that "nano" and "ceramic" are more marketing buzzwords, especially if the product only contains a couple percent. What really matters is how the product performs.

Hmmm... that would be a looong test though.Interesting debate... wish I`d seen this thread before taking Budget`s coating one off topic lol!
Still waiting for a Gyeon Cancoat // TAC Moonlight // Crystal Sealant shootout from someone who isn`t scottish
Maybe prior to winter.

It would be a great test. And long. I don`t know how it will go either.

I have used it a few times small sections is a must. I find it easier to use the wet towel for to apply it when the panel is wet and the bit of extra water makes the application easier. It is great sealant I have had it on somewhere in 90 day range and it’s held up very well. I agree this is not a topper
Had to bump this thread:
It appears that Detailed Image is having a Clearance Sale on WoWo`s product line. Don`t know why, did not ask. (BritX, just did not sell as expected; your guess is as good as mine)
Did notice that the "Shop Stopper" product posted by Guz initially in this thread is out-of-stock and not listed.
So here is your change to try some of their products at a discount price, if you feel so inclined.

Ummm.... Ya.....
"The Rag Co" was the company behind bringing WoWo`s to the states and was their master distributor in the states as well. They announced that due to Covid and other issues it was nearly impossible to get and supply the WoWo`s line of products. So they made the decision to stop. As of now they don`t have a plan to do so in the future even if things open back up. But things change and so could this decision.

I’m going to have to use some show stopper again the next wash. Forgot I still have it.
Even though it doesn’t have protection it sure is a fun product. Just doesn’t do well as a drying aid.

Yeah i’ve tried to fi d a supplier in the US because Showstopper is a product i’ve been wanting to try but to no avail.
Can’t justify $40-50 shipped to the US. If anyone finds some showstopper please update thread.

I`m from England, I have used Showstopper. I found it to be yet another over rated, overhyped product.
I was so taken with the hype (as you do) I bought two bottles as soon as it became available.
I used it several times, I wasn`t too pleased with the application, seem to require a lot off buffing to to remove product
even when such little product was used, or more product as I tried to get it to work better for me.
It does not come anywhere near the experience of using Beadmaker, nor do the results.
The remainder of my Showstopper was passed on to my neighbour.
At the time I bought several items from the WoWo range, shampoo and tyre dressing being two of them.
I wasn`t impressed whatsoever by either of those products.
