all in the details
This subject has been discussed many times on here. I've never heard of the product in question, but I don't think it'll live up to the claims it makes.
 
It may mean you never wax-you use a sealant without any carnauba/bees/montan/etc. wax in it. So in this way, they might be "correct."
You won't be able to apply it once, never touch the paint again, and have glossy paint and water beading forever after, though.
 
Here's one perspective. You don't ever have to wax/seal your car to begin with, now that this is out of the way. How hard is it to make their claim? There is no such thing as permanent protection. This doesn't mean it would look nice.
 
In reading about the product it looks like you have a paint cleaner and a sealant...good choices for what you are going to do...this is a repackaged product meaning that its most likely made by a decent chemical company so its not junk if that's your concern.

The statements about not waxing your car ever again are true..but you are going to have to seal / clean it with something, other wise you run the risk of clear coat problems...Its a slide of the truth that can catch the eye to the consumer who is looking for a product that doesn't require much work and he can do once a year...still somewhat true

All the said;

The paint cleaner is a chemical based product meaning that its going to remove what is on the surface in a non-abrasive manner...still good...however if you have swirls and I'm sure that you do with a black car...a dedicated swirl remover would be something that you would want to use as well...the paint cleaner will produce good results on its own...and if you like what you are seeing after that process then its time for the sealant...follow their directions for that its quite simple really.

I would guess that these products have filler in them...what that means is when you have swirls on a car you use a machine / buffer to remove them with a swirl remover that I talked about earlier...this takes a small amount of the clear coat off leaving a very clean smooth surface...filler on the other hand fill in the tiny little scratches on the surface....kind of like wood putty on wood....is this bad? not completely for some one working by hand its the fastest way to get a swirl free look...where it will become evident is when you wash the car a few times down the road the fillers will wash out...even faster if you are using dish soap as a car wash soap...that means that you would want to reapply the sealant to fill back in the swirls


Two other things is they are suggesting that you use a orbital buffer...if you are not concentrate in doing small areas at a time...like 12x12 inches...this allows you to keep good control in the paint cleaning process...heat is what makes a product work best for you...the prep will be the hardest part but if not done right the end results may not be what you want.

Also they have a 100% money back guarantee, send the product back and then buy some of the products that are sold threw the sponsors here:notme:

Hope this helps!
 
Thank you all for your help.
I have a random orbital car waxer/polisher which is not the best , I Know but it should make spreading the polish and later the wax easier.
I only bought this product (PPS)hoping to get through one harsh Canadian winter and by no means fell for the "never wax again" claim.this black car is my son's car,as for my own baby(2007 Civic) I already got one of the best product from Troy,Wolfgang polish and sealant.
I do not need to clay bar the new car so What I have should be sufficient,unless you guys think otherwise,any one of you have more experience in detailing than me so I will follow your sound advice.
 
It looks like a typical sealant, and the price is certainly good. They claim:

"Car Wax is outdated! Acrylic is the key ingredient of our paint sealant. It is hundreds of times harder than car wax and does not flake, crack, peal or discolor over time. Car wax and silicone products cannot compete with the brilliant shine our paint sealant produces."

I'm not sure I agree with the wax being outdated part, although many people do. In most cases sealants are more durable then wax though. Give it a try and let us know how it works out. :cheers:
 
Clay bar the new car and you will SEE and FE the difference! Clean smooth surface and that clay bar will contain lots of foreign material. After reading about claying on here for a while andordering products from Steve and using it, claying as used every time I wax or seal thepaint surface.. It even removes contaminates you cant see or feel from glass. Use a good quality lube and good microfibrers to clean up the haze left behind. I have learned a LOT from those on here, and hope to continue to do so. RANDAL

I'll second this on clay...good way to see if your car can use some clay...take a plastic sandwich baggie....put on your hand and on a clean surface ....run that across the surface of the car palm side down...if it feel rough and bumpy then that's what the clay is going to remove...chances are this car coming out of winter will need claying
