Molecular Adhesion
Got the car back from the dealer yesterday. The Xzilon paint treatment is nice stuff! The finish on the car looks like the surface of a gloss black ceramic tile. No swirl, hard as granite, and slicker than Bill Clinton's............ cigar 
Guaranteed to last 5 years. We'll see?

I don't believe any of these claims;
I would like to see an independent scientific lab test all the various waxes under various conditions for several months and longer to see what really works. Consumers Reports would be the best for this kind of test. I haven't seen any recent testing of waxes, however.

Source of following quote
Their "5 year guarantee" is just 5 years of free re-application. If you read the terms of their contract you'll also notice the "5-year guarantee" is void if you use any compounds, polishes, other sealants or waxes, or use a rotary or PC on your cars paint.

The car smelled like some type of solvent had been around the car when I picked it up. I used the ol' 'finger nail' method of tapping on the paint (Yea...I know), but, hey, I'm a happy guy. I will read their guanantee, but as of right now, this car's paint looks amasing. We'll see if it lasts as advertised.
