Well, it doesn't rain after I applied...so very hard to tell.

I do noticed that my Honda's rim become a bit yellowish, which did not have when I only apply opti-seal on it.
Not sure that is due to heat or dust, but it does bead the water.

Well, only 2 weeks observation and I am already here.

Yes, the same water beading effect. SONAX said it can last for 6 months, we'll see how.

It's the same glass coating that I'm currently using on the rest of my car. The original (1st version) Opti Coat and CQuartz lasted me around a month maybe two, others (not many) are a dissapointment.
Note: I gauge the durability by how water bead/sheet so the coating might (or might not) still be there.

Wow.. was expecting more from Opti Coat and CQuartz since on the American and British forums it is claimed to last more than a year sweat.gif
Looking at the feedback from KrisMas above, maybe the conditions here are too harsh for the coatings to survive on our rims sweat.gif

I've had Sierra Glow on my wheels, it's just another glass coating in the market similarly to Opti-Coat and I'm still experiencing good beading on them... never used any sealants or waxes, just a good clean scrub every week. smile.gif

Dunno, it was suppose to be 1 year. But the guy in the office said with more practical usage, 6 months.

Horse symbol of noble, wild beast.

Due to its natural companionship with man in both work and art, the Horse easily wins a special seat in history, ranking high marks of honor, reverence and symbolism.

Then mine is the normal version. Same as the one selling in Garage section.

I'm not sure if they are selling to end user for the xtreme version though.

Actually the difference of xtreme and normal is just the dilution, right?

Wearing glove is a norm for me all the time when washing the car.

After I have all the spray items, I start to wear mask too.

i ordered a googles for my detailing, since water and sometimes minor (diluted by the water) chemical may get on to my face or even eyes... prolly safer to wear them in the future hehe

maybe i should get gloves myself too to prevent chemical harms on my fingers heh

I would take that claim with a pinch of salt hmm.gif

Also if I'm not mistaken, that single bottle is good for up to 30 applications so if there's multiple cars at your house, the price per windscreen isn't so high. If you're looking for a single-use rain repellent, Rain Away is available in the Garage Sales section and it's pretty good nod.gif
