    Any legitimacy behind this stuff? Better than say, foam cannon+clay+wax?

    No way would I spend that for something that lasts 3-6 months. Basically it's a spray sealant.

    Yawn...
    I was seriously considering this after watching the sponsored ads on Facebook and then following up with some reviews on YouTube.

    Still waiting on more reviews before I order one of their deals.

    Do yourself a favor, if you want results do a ceramic coating. Topcoat might as well be a as seen on TV.

    I use it on my truck. It honestly (imo) does what it says. Washing my truck is cake now. Everything beads up and most of the normal daily driver dirt just sprays off. Used it on the windshield and works better than rain-x. Just my opinion tho.

    I think I'm going to be getting some. For 60 bucks it's worth a try. This Cali sun is killing my clear coat

    Yeah thats far as fuck lol. But for real bud try it. You don't like it then chuck it. Or ship to me ill use it :rofl: What i would do though is put it on once a week for 3 weeks. So first week wash your truck, dry it, and then put a coat on rinse and repeat for week 2 and 3. My truck hasn't shined like this since i bought it.

    So after my first coat of F11. The stuff is ok I recommend waxing before you use it. I didn't and it really likes to stick and not come off. Will continue to use the rest of the bottle but will not be buying again. Not that impressed with it. I have had better results with a good paste wax. 20170819_195700.jpg

    I have read some of the comments and reviews.
    I am not surprised. I am always leary when someone advertises a miracle product like that. 3-6 months durability for something that expensive is ridiculous. Even some of the comments by the company on their FB page make me cringe....like advising people not to wash the vehicle and just spray Topcoat to wipe off dirt.

    If they are great at anything, it's got to be the marketing.

    Notice how they privately sell their product. It's not found on Amazon or any other retailer. This is what makes it harder to search/find a genuine review.

    Exactly and the YouTube video reviews are a joke. Most of the people on there don't need to detail a lawnmower.

    Have you been on the Chemical Guys website and looked at the reviews? XD
    I think it was on the V36 and V38 polishes some farmer posted pictures of his freshly polished and detailed combine tractor XD. Shit cracks me up.

    Some of the reviews I think are fake. They have a wax that costs like $2,500. Someone posted a review saying he was so happy about how awesome it made his Saturn look. He was happy to spend twice what the car was worth on the wax.

    I was gifted a quart of it and have used it on both the taco and the Harley. It works well and provides a nice wet looking shine when done. I do find it doesn't last long though, particularly on the windows it seems to lose its water beading abilities fast. It doesn't leave any residue on the black trim which is nice. I'm in the same boat as a lot of others I've read about who have used it, being I am satisfied with the results but not for the price.

    I'm glad I was gifted it and didn't buy it!

    Yawn...
    Sorry to resurrect this thread.

    I follow them on FB/Insta to keep an eye out for reviews. I finally got an email saying they would send me a free sample: 2oz bottle and a microfiber rag. I’d have to pay shipping.

    Bet.

    Just in case you missed it - once again... (1) 2oz bottle and (1) microfiber rag.

    Shipping: $20

    Would y’all say this price is just as excessive as the actual cost of the product?
