gurus over at detailing forums hardly ever mention such teflon crap for car detailing...tt itself speak volumes on such gimmicks. [thumbsdown]

 

& the moola it charges are in no way reasonable for an unproven auto-detailing product.

quote from one forum: "Teflon actually has to be baked onto the surface at over 400F to bond. Products with it are a gimmick."

I did tried it when I took out my new black civic. My comment is that the finishing is good and the surface is very very slippery.... The smoothness lasted for three weeks. Easy to wipe clean and protect from watermark. Can only wash with water only. Shine is still there after two months. Hand polish.

 

I did not went back there is that one time polish cost me $170 and the membership thingy is too ex to start with although every visit is $30 and unlimited visits during your membership period. I do not know whether can buy their product and DIY. No internal cleaning done, maybe becos mine is a new car.

Not that I'm really into detailing, but you might be interested to know this...

 

Take for example a sealant coat I did with Soft99's Fusso 12 month. Nope, it didn't last 12 months. Water repelling action was effective for at least 7 to 9 months, 1 shampoo wash weekly, occasional petrol kiosk manual washes with the jet spray.

 

When I mean water repelling action, I mean you can see water forming large beads on your bonnet. They get blown off as your car moves.

 

1 bottle of Fusso 12 month cost me in the vicinty of 24 (or was it 27) dollars. I have used it twice, so far it looks like it will last another 3 to 4 applications.

 

If you're willing to do a claybar and seal half-yearly (I lazy), 1 bottle lasts you say 2 years because you use alot (or your car is big). 27/2 = 13.50 SGD a year. [:p] Hope you catch my drift.

Seriously, Carwerks is very expensive. I would go with the approach of what Panda has suggested. in fact I have a friend's new volvo which he spent a lot on taking care of the paint work. but it cannot last beyond 3 weeks. I did the DIY approach and everytime I drive my friend for lunch he will ask me you just wax your car? but in actually fact, I did wax + Sealant thingie 3 months back. with weekly wash. so, it is really up to you. btw, his wifey drove his car and scratched. so no point taking care. still have to respray...
