It does offer scratch resistant, there is a scratch test somewhere on there with comparisons to standard paint

Bloody hell everyone's giving you a hard time. Cheers for the info sounds like something to consider! Even if it doesn't last a lifetime with the finish you've got and if even if it last a while seems to me it would still work out the cheaper option! Think ill give it a go! Cheers buddy!

Haha thanks man, i would recommend it to everyone! It is by far the best stuff I have ever used! And even if it only lasts a 3-4 years that's fine because, let's face it, not many people have a car for longer than that.

There is no information which material is used for test apart form what they used to cause scratch.

Good test but hardly any comparisation to real life ...

And as far as I can see scratch is deeper with coating on but this is probably because coating add some thicknes ... Untreated penetration depth is 90µm when treated penetration depth is about 100µm.

It definately add some slickness as friction is much lower with coating on.

Dont get me wrong, the comparison pics look fantastic. Do you have to be specific with the upkeep + maintenance like certain shampoos?

I have autoglym lifeshine, thats long gone off my car now.......

It is supposed to stop gentle scratches. People brushing past your car in car parks, trees and branches overthrowing on country roads etc. if someone was to key you doors its not going to stop that, but neither is a standard polish or wax so I'm not sure what your expecting.

If you compare the light part of the graph, that is where the difference is and that is the type of scratches it will stop from happening. Remember this was don't with a diamond tip...not a tree branch or a ladies handbag

They recommend to use a ph neutral snow foam, but it's not necessary. Any old shampoo will be fine tho

Most important thing is to stop swirls from occuring when you wash your car ...

I'm just saying their promises are bit empty until someone do real life test...

I just did the test...that's how this conversation started lol. I did it on my car and was amazed by the results so I thought I would share it with all you guys

Plus there's a heap of photos on there website gallery of cars they have done

 

[Benzy]

Did my dads car straight after mine too

There is no sun in second pic to show any swirls ... so this pictures do not prove anything


There is no way you can remove swirls without taking a layer off clear coat off ... so I do no believe in "miracle" products

Ok well don't buy it then. I'm just offering my opinion and experience with it. Im not telling you to go out and buy it. And regarding the photos not proving anything, I think they prove a lot. The finish is better than anything i have ever used. And I didn't ever call it a "miracle product" either.

 

[Benzy]

You can't say there's no sun in that one anyway

Exactly what I thought mate . the pics do show the shine after even though the sun wasnt out as much . Looks good stuff !! If they use it on planes then im sure its good enough for my car !!!

I do wonder y some ppl try and argue a fact when u was just showing us a product none of us have heard of , which is what being part of a forum is all about .

Nice 1 benzy !!!

This is after using £16 product for 236ml enough for 20 applications ...

I'm not saing is a bad product but I have never heard of it before and such staitements like guarantee or other marketing empty talk do not prove anything.

I'm all up for new products if they really do "what it say on the tin" £90 is a lot of cash for product no one never heard off ...

Of course you have never heard of it...that's the point...it's brand new on the market!!! its incorporating a technology which is a much higher standard than you will get in a £16 bottle.

Personally I want to look after the paintwork on my car and for 90 quid it's a small price to pay, I wouldn't dream of using a cheep product. You get what you pay for!

This is a photo off there website showing the particle size of the nanos in comparison to polish

I work as Detailer I think I know what I'm talking about ...

Many companies claim their products are based on nanotechnology but in the end they are really have nothing to do with that...

I dont think anything can beat Cquartz at the moment I may be worn but I have tried most of the product available on open market ...

I never said u didnt know what u were talking about...but how can you say this product is no good before trying it? As stated it was designed for the aviation world and is a big seller and only just breaking into the motor industry

This is why I have asked if you can update how this coating will hold up after some time.

I'm all up like I said for new products but problem is there is so many new companies showing up where most of them base their buisnesses on marketing tricks ... fancy packing empty promises.
