After a year in the weather Like any product, follow the prep instructions. That said the product has held up well for a year. I do feel however it is starting to lose some hydrophobic quality. My car never sees a garage and even though it gets a lot of care I think the weather is winning a bit here. I will however, continue to use it since compared to other coatings it is holding its own.

I love Avalon King I love Avalon King. It's easy to apply if you follow the simple directions and it leaves your vehicle looking amazing. I definitely recommend Avalon King if you want your vehicle to look brand new.

A little early to tell, but... A friend of mine applied Armor Shield IX to my vehicle almost 3 months ago It looks great and I've only had to maintenance wash it once since. It practically looks like I bring it to the car wash daily. It's a little early to tell on what the longevity will be, but I've seen the cars that my friend has put it on before and they've held up for years.

Flashes immediately but support avoids if normal or defective I get the run around telling them I got a defective batch. It flashes immediately after applying. Instructions and youtube videos show flashing 1 minute plus. Cannot cross hatch because already hardens. Technical support is one day turn around but worthless. "Did you shake the bottle?" "Did you do a small area of 2ft x 2ft" Where is the expiration date printed on the bottle? "The product has no expiration date". Website says 2 years if unopened and stored cool.

Car Wash Shampoo Tried out both the shampoos today and what a Suds! This is really important in the wash process as it removes a lot of the bigger dirt particles, and helps reduce the chances of scratching and marring. Great scent too. Very pleasant to work with. Highly recommended!
