Thumbs up Worked for me.

Put it on over a year ago. It was alot of work, a two step process if your paint is new. You clean it really good, clay bar if nessary. Wash it with step 1 let dry then apply step 2 Took me about 5hrs to do my 06 screw, I went to the car wash at night. Keep it out of the sun and the temp constant. Take your time and go section by section, follow the directions. Also I recomend the ph balanced soap they sell, makes the whole truck look great. Best thing for me was, unlike wax which collects dust, this stuff sheds dust. I mean it just falls off instead of sticking like when its waxed. I wash my truck once a month, if its dirty I hit it with the soap at the car wash but really a good rinse is all it needs. Still looks great, the finish looks deep and it really shines. It had that auto-butler stuff on it from the dealer, they tried to sell me the redo every 6 months deal..hah no thanks. Will it last another 4 years, we'll see. So far so good, and my truck sits out in the harsh WY winter. I had a D. Dakota that the paint went after 3 years common on the '92 but hey that truck went 14 years without being in the shop once-good old magnum v8 could still burn the tires til some clown rear ended it. Now I have my F-150 hope it makes it 14 years with no major shop calls. Still I love my Ford...

My wife bought it for a brand new Stang, but was leary about trying it on new black paint, so I tried it on my 04 screw first. It was actually easy to use and so far beading up like no other wax I've ever used and I've tried em all. I live in South Florida where the sun breaks wax down in a month, but so far working as advertised. Truck washings aren't necessary as often as prior also. Good Product, I would buy again.

Sounds like its the same as 3M's "system 5". I had my truck done at the dealer when it was new "04" still is very easy to clean...
