Question....

[slow55]

Having a all black truck I would be interested in this to help avoid scratches and swirl marks.
The two week down time would suck but I could arrange a ride for those two weeks.

Please show me a wax that advertises it provides scratch resistant. And also the Zaino product where it advertises 2 or more years of durability. I've looked, but can't seem to find anything.

Simple, See post 26

When/if I find an old car, I'd do it in a second. Keeping it totally dry an untouched for 2 weeks is probably not realistic in my FJ. Having said that, if I could find a way to make it work, I would. Same is true on my wife's Armada.

Hi. I used your 5 Star Shine on my tricked out 08 Mustang GT Supercharger and it looks fantastic! I wanted to share the pics with your web site. The car has a custom paint job with ghost flames and is Very Hot!! Check out that shine. Thanks 5 Star!!!!

How long has this 2 year stuff been around and what environment is it rated for?

Does wax have a shelf life? I found some 15 year old Zymol in my garage that I never used. I was gonna throw it away unless it's still good.

Please explain. Would love to hear all of the pro's and con's

I just can't be without my daily for two weeks... I'd have to rent a car to get to work etc, so I'd be adding a few hundred bucks to the cost of the treatment.

I'd be much more likely to have you do a thorough treatment once a year than park my car for 2 weeks for a sealant...

Now, if I had a real big stack of cash or a couple of cars, I'd be much more likely to get this done.

I would be all over it if it were not for the two week cure time. My daily is black and could really use something like this, I just don't have any other way to get to work and I can't be sure it wouldn't rain on it.

How much faster would the IR setup cure the coating? If you were talking cutting it down to 3 or 4 days I think it could bring in some people who couldn't be without their dailys. I get your point about the cost, just curious really.

Guys, you just can't get it wet for two weeks. You can drive it as much as you want, just stay away from car washes and rain. The product just needs two weeks completely dry for it to fully cure. I'm sure that 2 week time frame could be cut a little shorter in the summer time. They often give worst case instructions, like if you were applying it in the dead of winter or something like that, when the temps are much cooler.

Have you seen how many idiots water the street when summer hits? Hell, one street I take going home is like it rained every damn day.

Well Nick, I guess this just shows the kind of questions you're going to run into if you offer the product.

Any luck finding a company that advertises a scratch resistant wax, or a Zaino sealant product that advertises it lasts for years??

I'm constantly learning about products and will be the first to admit that I don't know every single product out there. But I would like to see you back up your claims that every wax or sealant provides scratch resistance, and Zaino sealant last for years. Being that this product I'm looking at is so expensive, and has such a massive cure time, I'm very interested in finding something that can offer the same results without the negatives of this product.

Thanks,

Here is my take...

Needed information
1. The NCD Endorsement - Until then or a lot of other people talk about it, it's snake oil to me.
2. Pricing. Fact is some of us make 10K a year, some of us 150K+ - all of us are working class stiffs though and need to know pricing

Below is prior to hearing the answers to above...

Cons:
1. Obviously that curing time. Although, with non-daily drivers this probably is not such a big deal. What about dust while it is curing? Just let it be? Either way, for a daily driver it seems like a 100% no-go to me.

Pros:
1. Well, seems fairly obvious to me. Just seems easier to maintain a nice finish, which may or may not be important to people's daily drivers.

....

Maybe you could offer the Zaino (more realistic for daily drivers) option and this other option you're talking about. Something for two different types of cars/customers.

Any chance on a hookup for a guinea pig? I've got a new to me car coming that'll stay in the metroplex for a while, so I'm not sweating cure time.
