Just haven't gotten around to using it, honestly - I also don't want to use it during the rainy season, with the reported poor durability.

Got my OCW and OGE already from sir ravi. Shipment was delayed for a day but compensated it with a free microfiber.

The Microtex Stainz Guard is good. I'm currently using my old standby of Opti-Seal, since I ran out of the Stainz Guard.

Yep, heard of it, don't have any yet though. Intriguing product, particularly the application, but we're moving back to a condo something next year, and I won't have access to a pressure washer to "shock" the product into bonding with the paint...

Great durability, at least so far as I tested it - left it on for six weeks, and it was still beading and sheeting very well at the end, even after a few tropical storms and a road-trip or two. I strippped it mainly because I wanted to try something else, not because it wasn't performing up to my expectations anymore

Sige will update na lang din if no one picks it up. We're getting a bottle pero next year pa naman because someone's going to the States. Uubusin ko muna stash ko

Im using stainz guard as well. But not quite happy with it. Nagsskip minsan eh. I dont know if it's because im using cheap banana wipers. Btw, lumilipad lang mga droplets like mga 80-100kph pa.

I will attest to the poor durability sir...but it just looks great sa initial application and smells so good. One time, car was muddy and brought it to a nearby carwash for a hose down. After wash and m34, applied the wax dun sa carwash and yung mga wash boys nagtinginan anu daw yung mabangong lotion na pinupunas ko hahahaha.

*timy...boss it gets addicting din...i mean collecting the waxes. Of the waxes i have, im only using 3 on a regular basis. And when i say regular, its like every 1 or 2 months before application. Kaya like Sir umi, decades na bago maubos. Baka may asawa na anak ko and may apo na ako di pa ubos to hahaha. But i see myself wanting to get more pero but will have to take a little more effort sa pag ipon like the SNH and the elusive swissvax concorso. Ipon ipon pa haaaay.

i'm using collinite 915 for the rainy season and i noticed that it doesnot prevent watermarks from forming on the roof and hood. i even applied nano slick after 12 hours to double the protection but still, watermarks are left on the hood and roof after raindroplets dryout. ano ba magaling than collinite 915 na LSD/wax that prevents watermarks (that is available locally)?

wala naman atang product kayang gawin ung gusto mo. ang mahalaga ay hindi permanent ung watermarks, after 1 carwash tanggal agad.
