thegoth 5 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'd have my suspisions. If it's that slipery how does it stay on the car? But then i could never understand how non stick stays in frying pans! Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Snake oil, nothing will stay on the paint forever, its a layer of something a few microns thick, that has to deal with heat, wind, rain, washing, fallout, birdshit etc etc1. the wet look is provided by oils and polymers2. the main secret to getting a really smooth, shiney car is the base you start from, which you have to compound with a polisher, then for something like this to stick to would need to be wiped down with alcohol, applied and left to cure3. Teflon is applied to frying pans by treating the surface of the pan with a very stong acid, painting the PTFE emulsion on and then baking at 400deg to melt it to a smooth film, which when cool is very smooth and non-porous, hense nothing can stick to it as there is nothing to hook on to4. if it was that good and £15 worth was enough for several cars, all manufacturers would use it as a matter of course and save millions in warranty claims Link to post Share on other sites

gavinvr6 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 the water pic he use's at the bottem can be acheived by carefully cleaning the paint and giving it a good old fashioned t-cut and a coat of miguires Link to post Share on other sites
