can someone with experience with this product tell me a little more about it? whats the durability like if its just left as it is? has anyone used it via DA polisher or does it have to be applied with a rotary? i gotta get around to sprucing up and protecting my gti soon and have been thinking about going with this product to knock down some swirling and blemishes...just to hold me over til spring. i'll top it with something if i have to, but id rather just go with a quick one step and im done everything deal. ive been very limited on time lately, so this is attractive to me.
jesse has told me he has seen up to 6 months protection. I have used it on 5 cars now mostly Audis and it won't do much against the light swirls on the hard paint. However it will do a great job giving it a nice shine. I used it exclusively with a da and either an uber green pad or uber blue pad.
it should do ok on the paint, there was nothing else added to the above but shine and seal. we have been doing winter and new car preps with shine and seal, over 8 cars with the bottle and still got a few more to go.
I found it did a good job 'brightening' the paint when I used it. Like said above it didn't do anything on scratches or swirls but just helped push the finish that little bit better. I didn't stop with just it on the car so I can't comment on how well it holds up but it must do a little bit of polishing because even after switching to other products and many months later the paint on the cars still looks better than before I did the shine n seal. I just have ADD when it comes to LSPs so I switch between them too often to tell what lasts.
