Default diamonite bug blocker

Does anybody here use Diamonite bug blocker? I got some with one of my Autogeek orders and the directions on the stuff have me a little leary. It says it should be washed off in 24 hours. WHY? And if I put it on is it going to strip my Pinnacle wax off when I take it back off? I am going on a 5 day vette trip and one leg is 400 miles. If I put it on before that then wash the car when I get there will I be OK?

BTW, I should have ordered the 2 bottle package of Pinnacle Crystal Mist because when I get back my brand new bottle is sure to be empty. Guess I'll have to order with the geek again next week.


Thanks,
Justin

We gave alot of it away at Detailfest III , unfortunately I have/did not try any. Thought it was a paint sealant kinda thing. Hopefully someone else will chime in ...

Crystal Mist was once nice BOGO, hopefully others are coming soon !

Junk, dont put it on your car as it turns into some type of clear gel thats really hard to get off. Do yourself a favor throw it in the trash....G

I have a bottle I was going to put on the front of my car trailer for the trip to BG for cruise in, but it was raining when we left and pretty much the entire trip and didnt need it.

wouldnt put it on my vette, but would hit the trailer with it and then pressure wash it off when I got home.
