First off let me explain that I almost exclusively use sealants but decided to try a new "topper" just for the sake of change.
Nothing special was done as these cars are essentially garage queens. We only need to buy gas once a month so that will give you a clue. Both had several coats of Opti Seal already and were wiped down with Poorboy's Spray & Wipe prior to the new carnauba.
As with the previous generation P21S application and removal was a pleasure. It was applied with the supplied foam pad which is brilliant in itself. These should be sold seperately for all to enjoy. It's one of those "why didn't I think of that?" things. Unlike the original formula they suggest that this one sets up or begins to set up prior to removal. It is also suggested to wait 24 hours before a second coat. I used DFT towels for removal.
Honestly I had forgotton how nice a real carnauba paste wax could look! It added to the already very nice look and took it up a notch or maybe even two. Reflections gained depth and clarity even beyond what I had expected.
Initially the feel is not very slick which disappointed me. I checked again after 24 hours and it the slickness had increased. After 36 hours both cars were very slick and the one that had spent a few hours in the sun was the slickest. Perhaps the heat (we are way south) helped it cure more so than the Honda which hasn't left the garage yet.
I can only find one negative and it is minor. The surface does seem to draw dust, at least during the cure period. If there was a way (and this is REALLY picky) to make it anti static I would add the .3 to give it a 5.0.
Here's a few pics to scope out. No sun shots which I apologize for. The situation was this:
First I mowed, trimmed, weedeated, and blew off the walks/porches/etc., at the house. It is not a small yard. Then I did both vehicles with S&W, waxed them and did the wipedown. It was 93, humid, and this old man was WHIPPED kiddos! I had no desire to plop my sweaty arse in the cars to back them out for sun shots. The shower beckoned me.....I believe I was still sweating while in the shower and it was a cold one at that..
What looks like a "scrape" on the bump strip of the red car door is actually a reflection. I especially liked the fifth picture because the yellow cart hanging on the wall can be seen in both hoods. None of the pictures were modified. What you see is what I clicked, faults and all.
My thanks to Tonya for setting up the format to keep things standardized.......
