COME AT ME BRO
I haven't tried much of the line - I don't buy into the Teflon spill - but I have used the Teflon Tire Shine and it's some decent stuff. It might be the one thing worth trying. :dunno

There is no cure!
a few weeks ago i was dead tired and didnt hae time to wash my mom car. she told me to just take it to the local car wash. normally id say "over my dead body". but she doesnt care anymore than anyone else. so i took it. upon arriving i see like 12 guys working. each doing a different job. i asked whgat his services were. i tried explaiong him what a clay abr was to see if he used one. he had no clue. then after everything he said that a layer a teflon would be applied. i feel bad for the fools who buy into it. i have tried duponts teflon tire shine. attracts less dust than silicone dressings, but no better than any other water based dressing. it does give a very good sheen to tires. i like it.

Privitize it
Teflon is for frying pans. That's all I have to say.

According to G.R. Ansul of DuPont's Car Care Products, Specialty Products Division, "The addition of a Teflon® flouropolymer resin does nothing to enhance the properties of a car wax. We have no data that indicates the use of Teflon® fluoropolymer resins is beneficial in car waxes, and we have not seen data from other people that supports this position." Manufacturers of gimmicky, over-hyped products sometimes claim that their products contain Teflon®, hoping that the consumer will believe there is something special about that product. Ansul also notes that, "Unless Teflon® is applied at 700 degrees F, it is not a viable ingredient, and is 100 percent useless in protecting the paint's finish."
It's a market gimmick that makes people think it actually protects. Probably some tiny bit percentage actually works from Teflon. I do believe however it helps in application, otherwise it will not at all create a crazy strong barrier.
