Has anyone tried this product.

I remain suspicious for now. I think it is from the US?

thanks

What it says in the title 5 Star Shine
I've seen it before it's just another 'alternative' that claims much but probably is no different to any of the other non-organic 'finishes' I don't think there are any systems that are "apply and leave", if there were I'd guess the manufacturers would apply it from new.

Personally I'll stick to the tried and tested wax route. I use Mothers BTW

Would agree with V8grf.....me, clean with meguiars detailing spray thingy, then either meguiars or p21s paint cleaner, mothers preglaze (I think), p21s wax (nice stuff and Ive tried a few!) topped up with Mothers top coat final thinggy. Seems to work well but nowt stops the dust...

Thanks for the info... Shouting... loud - has anyone actually tried it... It does sound good...

Oh alright, that part of my brain is saying (sounds like far to much BS)...

I'm tempted though.

It's just as easy to use as it says on the website. I bought a pack when I was in the States a couple of months ago and saw it demonstrated at a show. Of course, it was used to polish a bonnet that must have been polished over a million times before.. not sure if you can get it here.

If it's for a TVR then Mothers is as good as anything I've tried and you can easily get it here as well. Best finish I've ever seen on a TVR was obtained by using Simoniz hard wax and plenty of elbow grease, but that's just too much hard work for me.
