They look great. I know Neil is going to jump in here eventually, but a friend told me he tried it on one of our fellow club member's cars, and it was filmy/streaky in spots. Made him even more loyal to Zaino.
I'm open minded still, and with a black car, anything that would make maintenance easier is great, but I'm still a skeptic.....

Not sure how he got the product to be streaky... As Neil says, Spray Wipe and Go!

Here are a few Post Chadwick's shots:









And honestly the true test on a barn kept Eldorado...: (note the reflection)

I can mail you what is left in one of my bottles... You wont get the FULL effect as with the buffer blok but you'll get a good feel for the product. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks Mike, but you paid good money for that stuff, and should continue with it. Maybe Neil will be at a show in my area.

What's so special about the buffer bloc? Seems like you could just use your hand.

Consider the buffer block to be a synthetic clay bar. Night and day difference between before and after using it.

It works. That's it. It just works. My car had been rained on last week. Through mud puddles etc, dull dirty mess. Sprayed it down wiped it off before coming to work today (sunny forecast!) and here is the result. Just bought my second gallon. Worth it.
