One observation I can make, I'd be interested to see if anyone else has noticed it - this seems to have been really compromised by bird bombs. I had a couple on the car after a day at work so I softened them with some weak soapy solution and wiped them away. Next rainy day and the beading has totally gone on these areas which were wiped.

When wiping the poo off, they seemed greasier than normal, as if they had stuck and mixed with the Carplan sealant.

I'll keep my eyes on it. The rest of the car is still looking good.

BIrd Poo is pure evil.

Just used as a drying aid and then another coat once dried. It's decent, leaves a reflective slick finish. For the money it's a good buy Imo.

Of course it is, but it was a very weird reaction. The good thing was that there was no burn through, but even after yesterday's full wash, it was clear that it had taken the sealant away.

I still like it though, very easy to use and it's lovely and slick.

Job done then! if it provides a sacrificial layer to protect from (evil) bird poo then I'd take that as an endorsement of protection

...or if any soap remained that would eliminate the water beads

Easy enough to reapply too

I bought two bottles of this - very impressed with the finish and ease of application although I'm not sure about the claims of durability!

UP TO 12 months

That could be a garaged car washed every 4 weeks - 12 washes - 12months - claims met

Keep it outside and wash it every week you may get 3 months - 12 washes - I'd be happy with that

ECP have a sale on with UP TO 60% off - I've still to find something with that discount

"Up To" always starts at and includes Zero .... :lol:

Indeed!

As I've said previously I've used it as a drying aid and one weekend the car missed a wash but the CPNo.1SG was still going strong two whole weeks after application! :thumb:

 

[roscopervis]

Related to my incident above, apart from the bird poo area, the rest of the car was beading and sheeting like a trooper 3 weeks after application so it has 2 months in it easily. This is parked outside on a daily driver covering 400 miles a week.

Very similar to me, i'm still beading and sheeting a 800 miles since the last application.

I've tried some out on one of the cars from work which are basically cleaned with soapy water and a broom! Put the No.1SG on one side of the bonnet and BSD the other. The BSD wins on beading and sheeting (as it would) but the No.1SG is far slicker (what isn't). I will try on my own car next wash. Seems decent stuff and very easy to use especially for the £7 something I paid for it.

At this price its good for the household as well, shower enclosures, upvc windows, doors, conservatories and even baths, sinks and taps, they all gleam and bead nicely :doublesho

OCD or what!

 

[robsteele55]

I had some issues with this product as you can see earlier on in the thread, I've been using it recently as a drying with fantastic results.

I've used on both my cars now. Leaves a nice glassy shine.

 

[Bigpikle]

works well on wheels for me- just use it as a drying aid and it does a great job.

 

[Forsh]

I get such a good gloss and slick feel, beading and protection from using it as a drying aid I haven't considered using it the "correct" way

Piece of cake to wash too, I think the protection has built up using it this way. BH auto foam and pressure wash rinse and I hardly need to touch it with a wash mitt

Had a few issues with smears... I gave the cars bonnet (its black BTW) and boot a quick couple of spritz and noticed it hazed really quickly as i buffed, the panels were cool, clean and I applied it very sparingly so couldn't really see a problem.It was a real bugger to remove the smears. I had to use a couple of douses of FSE as my goto detailer ech2o wasn't buttering the parsnips. It certainly bonds well! Might give it another go but cut it with water.
