    Detailed this car for 19cobra94 last week.
    Paint was in good shape, He's kept it in great condition, and super clean.
    Had a decient amount of swirl marks and lines from car washes (previous owner)
    did a 3 stage polish, final with PB EX Wax - love that stuff.

    Haven't had it long enough to really see when it wears off.
    Supposed to last up to 6 months. i'll have to get back to you on that.

    It seems just as shiny as the Natty's!

    I doubt you can get 6 months unless you have a garage queen, Ziano and the Klasse twins are the only 2 I know of can last 6months+ outside. I did a search on autopia.org and most are getting about 4 to 5 months depending on location. I'm going to test it on my roof hell right now I have Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant on the hood (so far 1 months and still going), I'll put EX on the roof and I have EX-P coming that will go on the trunk. That or I will split the roof or hood in 4 sections and test 4 products, from these test I'll see who is going to be my "summer/winter coat"

    4-5 is pretty dang good.
    the bottle says "up to" 6 months.

    that will be interesting to see how they do on your car.

    Jim's car (pictured above) is garage kept, so I wouldn't be supprised if it lasts 6 or more.
    Keep the info coming!
    BTW you're white wheels are growing on me, they look NIICE.

    All the online sealants I have say up to 6 months but the research I have done says other wise. So with all the sales I firgured why not see how long I can get out of them in SC weather. Sooner or later I won't be able to afford to buy detailing products at a whime so I better do it while I can afford too lol.

    Sorry guys I have been out of town for the past week and a half. Jeff did an awesome job on the car, I could not be happier about the way it turned out. There is no substitute for a man who knows how to use his machine and his products. The poorboys stuff really impressed me. Thanks again Dalamar.
