Have never heard of that product. Hopefully someone can give you some feedback, but in any case, if you decide to go for it, post up your thoughts on the product and process.

I would not even consider it unless I PERSONNALY saw a before and after on someone's car. Not talking pictures.

You would then need to compare what it can do against your paint condition. Sounds like it is only to help recover the clear coat condition and not base coat. May do both but at $500 I would be very wary if you think your car will be showroom nice unless you have VERY limited degradation.

Mr. Sam- yes, i would agree. As with anything I'm looking for a quick solution. Bottom line is at some point I'm going to have to pay someone to revive my paint. I've watched a lot of junkman2000 videos but i really don't trust myself to do that. While I'm stationed here in Hawaii (June 2017) the car sits out under a car cover 90% of the time so I'm not sure I want to have it done until I move back to the states and have a garage again.
