I keep seeing this product on Facebook, but I just cannot get my head around it. I think it is more snake oil then a true product to do what they claim. Anyone try it?

Just googled it and watched the little video on their page. It appears it works. It appears it works insomuch that it's like wet sanding your paint. Will it clean your paint? Yep, looks like it does work based on the video. But it also looks like it will scratch the **** out of your paint. Because where's all that dirt and grime going? Right into your microfiber towel.

Could it be used safely? Probably. I'd probably use it if I washed my car, parked int he garage, and got some dust on it. Then I'd say it's probably safe (after I use a blower to get the big/loose particles off. If I've driven the car, then absolutely not.

This product would work great for people who don't care about their cars or the finish of their cars. It'd work great for people whose paint is already trash and they're too lazy to wash their car appropriately.

I will stick to my foam cannon and two bucket method.

This is pure magic as a polish. It takes the micro scratches out and leaves a perfect shine. A true, must have.

I have purchased and used up 2 bottles so far.
Makes your car look like it was just ceramic coated. Need to go over with a second towel to make sure there are no smudges.
Only bad thing you have to order it and it is kind of pricy. it also only lasts for one to two washings.
Here are my 2 examples

Are you using this product in lieu of washing the car or are you simply using it as a "protectant" after you've washed the car?

Both depending on how dirty. I have used it after a short drive in the rain, and it worked well without scratching

They both look great, but did you do any paint correction on them first. Next did you strip off any previous wax, sealant or ceramic prior to applying this. I have been detailing my cars for years by clay barring polishing one or two step whatever it needs and then applying originally a top-quality wax and now ceramic. I just have a hard time believing this stuff is what they claim.

I paint corrected with Meguires ultimate polish, then applied the Maxone. The 84 was then sriven 300 miles to a car show and i detailed it again with Maxone. When you use it it really makes the shine "pop". After a couple of washes the water runs off but does not feel like right after applied. My car very rarely see rain so they just get very dusty between applications

I ceramic coated mine I think 3 years ago. It still looks like day 1. Wipe down with a damp cloth if it gets dust. SYSTEM X ceramic coat. Good shiz. I'm a satisfied customer. No gimmicks allowed here. If something only lasts 2 or 3 car washes why aren't you just ceramic coating? It lasts years and I have noticed not a single paint chip since it was done too.
ps- the wheels are coated too

MAXL works great. Just need to be patient with it and make sure it doesn't dry on the paint. From my C5 last year...
