If it lasts 10years yes we will all be out of a hobby and also some jobs. :spot
Does it come off by using Dawn or do you have to sandblast it off. Where is the website? I would love to read about this one.
It is a Dealer prep item. Here are the FAQs FAQs 2.
This stuff might be better than Zaino (this is a joke). :chuckle:

Don't believe everything you hear or what a product claims it will do.

Cilajet? Isn't that an erectile dysfunction drug?
The website is home
I did a quick search and most people (dealerships) sell this as an add on and the cost is 1000.00 up. I don't think it'll put us out of jobs....who will want to pay 1000 or more for a detail? I don't believe everything I read.....I need to see it work 1st and then I'll make my decision. I just wanted to see if there are any people here who have used the product 1st hand. I saw a post on another forum and they said it was not all its cracked up to be.

I know that you are just trying to start a conversation about this product. I thank you for introducing it to me. It is good to know about what is out there, so when someone asks you about it, you can have a good reason as to why you do not like it.
You know how much Zaino you can buy for $1000.00. Anyhow, the dealer will sell it like this, you can pay 1000.00 now or you can:
Pay a detailer for a 6 month sealent at $200.00
Get your car detailed 2x a year
over a 10-year period (that's $4000.00).
Look you can save 3000.00 dollars.
I can see the dealers selling this one already.

That's the longest warranty I've ever seen! I'd be going back every month to complain that the product "failed to perform as guaranteed" and have them redo it until they got sick of me and paid me to go away.
wow, they even talk about how it reduces drag and saves fuel in aircraft, right under a photo of a Porsche, thus implying it will also reduce drag for YOU!
So it protects for 10 years, saves fuel, reduces drag, cures erectile dysfunction and makes wealthy car owners sound like smug assholes. Where do I sign up??!

Honestly, I feel this product is best suited for a consumer who does not want to wax their car. It costs 100 bucks or so for 4 oz and they say it takes 1oz to do a small/ medium vehicle. Funny thing is its not sold to the public, just dealers. I tried their waterless wash and I don't like it. It streaks really bad, or at least for me it did (it even streaked for the salesman). I spent a lot more time trying to get rid of the streaks. I know its the 1st time I used it and there is a learning curve, but I used ONR for the 1st time and it worked great. I shaved 15 minutes off the length of time it takes me to wash a surban with soap and water. I think I am going to stick with ONR. I'll try the cilajet on my truck and see how it works. Odds are favorable I'll stick to the old fashion polish and wax. Nothing bad to say about the product (its just not right for me at the moment). Here are the million dollar questions:
1. how do you sell a 1000 dollar detail?
2. how do you keep them as a regular customer, unless you secure them as a wash only customer?
3. If you don't secure them as a regular wash customer, how will they remember you in 10 years.
4. How will you remember them in 10 years?
Oh, I do have to admit that it makes silver look pretty good.

i guess i can add to the convo... just leased a 2008 honda crv, they had the cilajet application on the outside and wheels. having bought the car prior to the application and seen the after, i have to say it looks like an incredible wax job. I've now had the car for two weeks and gone through several rainstorms here in the DC area and the dirt just falls off with a light brush of the finger and manages to keep a silky shine. For someone who waxed his old car twice in 8 years, I need all the help I can get. it remains to be seen the long term value of cilajet. i found this discussion googling for cilajet, but theres just not that much info on it as far as i can tell.
Ten years is just a ridiculous claim. I see that in their website they have celebrities and professional sports players as some of their satisfied customers. Well, we all know they are not necessarily the smartest cookies in the cookie jar. Oh wait, there's also that 110 year old lady.
