Two Month Update:
Well, it's been about two months since I applied Solution Finish. I snapped some pics so here we go.
Overall the results are mixed with some of them being excellent!
First off are the test pieces where I see no degradation so far!! Excellent results here! Furthermore, UTTG, C4, OC, and CQ are all still bonded over the top of Solution Finish in the places they were applied.
Second off is the van we applied it to which had severely faded trim! I was starting to think they had sold it but finally saw it parked there on the way home. Unfortunately the young lady that drives it had been T-boned while sitting at a red light… Right at the drivers side door… just the edge of the drivers door is visible in picture 5. The door itself is caved in like a foot in the middle. Very sad especially as the driver at faults insurance will not be paying for her medical which basically means she will probably live in pain for a long time. They are a really wonderful family – good people. I was very sad to hear it.
Here we have what I would call decent results. There is some fading but it still looks much, much better than before application 2 months ago.
Finally we have my Green Saturn, here I found that Solution Finish seemed to fade more than I would have liked in two months. Taking into account the good and great results on the other tests I must assume it worked differently on this vehicle due to the fact it was applied over the remnants of C4. I make the assumption it didn’t penetrate the C4 residue but I haven’t given up. I’m going to snap a couple pics for you guys at the next update, and then re-apply only after using a trick from Ron to use Water Spot remover to thoroughly clean it before applying.
