How durable is too durable?

How did you determine when the sealant went from present to not present? We know that polished paint is glossy, beads water, and is slick. So whether the sealant is there or not, those characteristics should still remain. :confused:

Most sealants enhance each of those characteristics. The difference in those characteristics is the indicator.

David, does that mean that, all going well, you may be interested in marketing it in another line, or simply not interested in marketing it at all? :cooleek:

So polished, sealed painted should bead/sheet water better than just polished paint?



I'm just thinking like immediately afterwards, of course the sealed paint will bead and sheet for months afterwards.
 
I really do not think it is right to post a unkown product. That like saying I got the greatest sealant be I am not going to tell you what it is. Is this fair? ethical? Right for this forum? I say no. I know your all excited but why post a unkown product? By the way Looks fot me is what counts. Regards.
 
I think this post is more of an indicator in the evolution of the sealants that are being made.



Fair and ethical is up to David, he owns the place, jeesh.

I simply asked the question "How durable is too durable?". It was not my place to announce a product that is not mine to announce.



However, since I started this conversation, I asked the chemist if he would provide more samples. He agreed. Six small sample bottles are on the way to me to distribute to testers. He agreed to 100 more samples after he has initial feedback from the first six testers.



If you would like to be a tester, here are the requirements:



1. Minimum post count 1,000 posts.

2. Reside in the USA.

3. Agree to test and post results within a week of receiving the sample.

4. Agree to participate in long-term testing prior to release of product.



I know the non-US members will be disapointed, but I promise to get at least 10% representation outside USA in round 2.



Please post here if you are interested. Samples will be shipped to testers next week.

I'm interested but I'm not going to spam to be a tester. maybe I'll be in the 100 batch. It would be nice to have a semi dedicated thread forum. one maybe that the testers only could reply but we could read.

You can clearly see when the product is present/not present by how water reacts. As I said in a previous post, "this stuff hates water!". When present, it beads water like crazy.



Late today or tomorrow I will strip my hood again and tape it off into three section. I will test brand X, M and Z in a side-by-side showing water beading before Dawn wash and after Dawn wash.
 
I would love to test the unknown product. But I don't have "the 1000 posts"



Regards.........waiting to hear more info on what and where it comes from

Being that durability is my #1 priority, I do love durable products, which explains my adoration for Zaino for so long. So, if it protects my car that is exposed to UV and weather 24/7, then I am all for it. For those of us that don't have garage queens, this product sounds like a winner!



On a side note, let me be the first to ponder that the mysterious formulation is from 4*. Anyone else care to guess? :D A free bottle to the winner?
 
After using Zymol Concours, Zaino, Victoria, Surluster, CG, poorboys, Wherstatt, Pin. Sour., and about 15 others, I would give it a shot. Got to be a polymer set up as 4*, Klasse, Menerza, or someone of that type. Spelling is bad. Regards...

Guess I need work more on being a post whore instead of just trying to give informative answers.

5. MUST PROVIDE PICTURES!



and for me:

does it work with FK 425? :rofl
 
Wow, sounds like an amazing (and expensive!!!) product. Looking forward to seeing the next six test results.
 
DavidB,



In the interests of a more comprehensive evaluation !!! & of course American / European relations, it would be great to test this mystery sealant across the pond as well. As we get much more rain than you guys Stateside, (not to mention, the four seasons in one day), its the perfect place to start. From the home of your favourite tipple ... The Magic Black Stuff !!!



Regards,



Daragh.
