Yes, have been using it. The stuff is awesome. My bike has never shined like it does now. Also use it on my truck and bugs just fall off now. Makes chrome look like a mirror. Nothing sticks to it. I used it on my truck windshield and haven't used the wipers much at all. It's like having rainx on it that lasts longer.

The YouTube videos certainly make it look good.

Sounds intriguing... I got just 2 points:
a) It is reaally easy to make a 2017 HD out of the showroom to look shinier. I would like to see how it performs on old bikes with not so great paint.
b) The price also sounds a bit steep. Is it really 3x better than comparable products that cost 12-20 bucks?

First coat I waited maybe 10 minutes. It was almost dry by the time I made it around to wipe. I misted the areas that were dry and seemed to help. This second time I just sprayed and wiped.

I used it for 3-4 times after washings and now months later I don't seem to need it - I just wipe the bikes off. When their bling starts to die I will reapply. No need to soak the bike in it - a fine mist is better IMO. |
