Anything claiming to be better is likely a gimmick IMO and will still be ruined by poor washing technique/products.

PS: It is amazing how many fine cars paint work is now quickly ruined by using the hot wash system - especially those foaming brushes. I won't let one of those near my paint work EVER.
Thx Scooter man

I dont mean to start a debate here but could it be that paint protection product such as colour shield does work but it is the big companies such as Meguire and others that spend much more money on marketing that want to convince u that, cutting, waxing and polishing is best method to look after ur car so they can keep making their money.

Sh!t, i could piss so many ppl for saying what i just said.

Please dont ban me from this site. Please be assure, im standing in netural ground coz I too have spend money on paint protection on cars when new, and also have recently spend money again on getting the right gear to look after the car. Just cant work out which one is the better way.

Cheers
