Sorry Ellington,
Really dont mean to be rude - Im actually fighting the corner of the consumer - people like you!!!
These "everlasting"waxes are a TOTAL AND UTTER CON.
They are ALL, very good quality waxes/sealants. Look at every single manufacturers website - they are very selective in their claims.
Some say you will never have to wax your car again - yes so?? You dont have to wax your car at all do you? Eventually the lacquer will get embedded with grime and stop the water from beading, but you dont have to wax it!!
If youpolish you QQ with Mer, as I said earlier, its an abraisve polish which will skim a superfine layer of lacquer off your car everytime you use it. If the guy you spoke to had a better finish on his paintwork and has never waxed it - theres your answer!! Everytime you wax yours, you are making swirl marks in the lacquer and cutting it back slowly. But, on saying this, a difference would be that yours would still bead water and his wouldnt. If his beads water and he says it hasnt been waxed in 3 years, theres one answer - he is lying to you.
I really dont want to keep banging on about this - these products cost in the region of between £10-£50 to buy at cost, then Dealers charge upwards of £250 to "apply" them. They take NO specialist skill and can be easily applied at home using nothing more than a couple of clean cloths.
They are, along with GAP insurance, a cashcow for car dealers.
OK, soapbox away, it makes no odds to me if you buy this stuff or not, it just annoys me when people believe the outlandish dealer claims as to what this stuff can do.
Sensible money goes on
Autoglym Hi Def wax
Autoglym lifeshine
Any Collinite wax
Any Meguires Carnuba wax
Any dodo juice carnuba wax
All of the above are available for less than £50 each (mostly £20) and will last you for a few years if you wax your car 3 to 4 times a year.
OK Im done on this one......promise to all forum members that I wont bang on about this again!!!
JUST DONT LET YOURSELF BE CONNED!!

Oh, by the way, my brother in law was once a valeter fora prestige manufacturers dealership in Aberdeen- lets just say that when you pay for these "superdooper" paint finishes, you dont always get them on your car............
