I had this stuff ready to hit purchase then decided to google harder for reviews, they're mostly the same disappointment expressed here. A good wax will do better than any of these miracle products. I've been using Collinite 845 on my stuff, really like it, and it lasts.

With winter approaching, it is the season for The New Next Greatest Bestest Wax/Polish of All Time Ever No Fooling We Promise and it only costs 4 (or more) times what a regular wax/polish costs because it is the GREATEST!

Or maybe will be 2018 before it appears.  But one will appear, it will cost a buttload, and it will promise things that sound almost unbelievable. PT Barnum smiles, no doubt.

And they won't return any calls or give a refund.   In my opinion it's seems to be JUNK.

Yeah, used it twice now, like spraying water on bike and it washes right off. No value whatsoever for $60

« Reply #33 on: September 27, 2017, 01:22:11 PM »

I just saw an advertisement on the internet about this product.  It looks like it has been around a few years, but this is the first I've heard of it.  Does anyone have experience with this product?

Sorry for the new thread.  Just saw one from awhile back.  I ordered a bottle, we'll see if it's all blow and no show.

Everyone who decides to buy any of the newer miracle Paint Sealant products, please read the available information on them before buying them and being disappointed. I had a guy at dinner last week get mad because he thought a unnamed product from Autogeek, that I have used, he hadn't, was similar if not superior to sprayed on clearcoat paint from the factory and would NEVER wear away.
This is just not true. It will not protect from rock chips it will help protect from bird crap etc & it will make a nice shine and make dirt & bird crap come off easier, for awhile, then it won't, until you apply it again.
A good product of properly applied pure carnuba is still an amazing coating and costs a third or less of polymer products.

A lot of blow, almost no show IMHO. Just a huge marketing ploy. Stuff goes on like water,never hazed up for me like instructions said and provided NO ADDITIONAL protection whatsoever. Was a nice shine on bike.....Until I rode it to end of driveway and got it dirty. $60 for this stuff is a waste

I just used Top Coat F11. My initial impression is wow. Shine is deep and surface is very smooth and slick. A friend that stores his bike in my garage bought the stuff so the price is at least right for me. I will update later and tell you how well it holds up

Remember the folks who make expensive wax do no recommend regular car wash soap. They say if you don't use the uber expensive ceramic wax spec soap and ceramic spec detailer in will degrade the product completely.
Check out youtube.
Thing I got from this is soap that won't remove normal wax will remove ceramic sealers. Hum...

I don't go for all these super duper high cost spit resistant rain repellent right hand on left hand off secular application products.
I use two products that I find cover all the requirements from rain beading sticky bug spit wipes off with a dry cloth.
For the paint I use Turtle Wax gloss it gives a good deep shine, for the chrome I use Grease Lightning just spray some on a cloth and it will do the hole one side.
It all goes a long way for around 50/60 for both cleaners.
Have had the same bottles for 3 years now and I clean my bike once every two weeks sooner if I've been on a long run.
If you're looking for a good cleaner I'd recommend trying these two out.

Every year or two another wildly overpriced "miracle" product hits the market, and another bunch of people fall for the fancy prose in the ads and buy it.  The reason people keep coming up with and selling these scams is that this country is loaded with easy prey.  Even after reading hundreds of negative reviews and warnings from people who actually know something about the subject, many still hand over their money for the modern day equivalent of snake oil.  If anyone wants to know why it seems crooks from around the world mostly target people in the USA, the answer is obvious.

If it sounds too good to be true, assume it is.  Or better yet, consult with someone who actually knows something about the type of product being offered before blindly sending money to scam artists.

Many years ago ran a warehouse, next building over a company sold airplane wax.  Basically was a softened carnuba wax in a flat can.  Couple of guys came over one day & gave me 2 cans.  Best stuff I ever used for longevity & had a decent shine, a PITA to apply when compared to more conventional wax.  It was not that expensive, used it for years.  Several companies make carnuba wax products, including Turtle wax.  If you have the time & don't mind "wax on, wax off efforts" it's reliably good stuff.
