5 Star Shine

Anyone ever try it? Looks interesting but - go figure - quite expensive. I like the idea of not having to wax so often so thought I would ask. Anyone?

I have it., applied it last September and it's stilll beads water but it has only been on 4 months. Time will tell if it will last the 5 years they say it will.

The application wasn't hard. You have to wash and dry the vehicle, then apply a bonding solution that you mix with water and just wipe on. Wash and dry again then apply the wax. Took about 6 hours and most of that time was drying the truck in between washes as my truck is black and I had to get rid of the spots.

We tested it on 3 cars, it did not last as long as Zaino or Klasse in our tests for durablity.

Thanks. How did you test it? And how long did it last?

3 different cars were washed with Dawn, then they were cleaned with a paint cleaner (mild abrasive) and rewashed with Dawn, the same basic way we would clean paint before applying wax/sealant, we then applied the product per enclosed directions. We would then measure water beading/run off on a week by week basis. The 3 cars vaired from 3 weeks to 7 weeks until there was no beading action.
