Chemical Guys Second Skin 6 long term test - start (on 28.07.2014)
Preparation steps:
Wash and full decontamination.
Light polish with various polishes and pads but mostly with Meguiar's D300 on Rupes yellow pad using Rupes Duetto.
Very thorough degreasing with 4nano Final Wipe and Gtechniq Panel Wipe.
At the end one layer of Chemical Guys Second Skin 6 was applied and the car was in the garage for 48 hours.
Chemical Guys Second Skin 6 long term test - first update (on 30.07.2014)
The behavior of water after 48 hours after application (the car all this time was in the garage). I do not know what to think. The coating is on the car because it is clearly visible - gloss and glass effect. But the water "says" that there is no coating on the car.

A few comments:
- mileage: about 3000-4000 km
- coating is still visible in my opinion
- car gets dirty very little, despite a wide variety of weather conditions (lots of sun, dust, wind and rain)
- coating does not protect against bird drops, traces of the hard / acidic water
- the car wash easily in spite of such a long period of not touching
- no beading and I think this is an advantage especially in the summer
- water sheeting is slow, but exact
I still do not know what to think about this product.
I have to do a second test on a car which is often washed.
