I would concur with this assessment. You are not going to get high deflection beading like say, Gtechnic or Opticoat, but you are going to get decent protection with a LOT less effort. Durability is kinda ok and 3mo is a decent estimate before you start seeing pooling (or less sheeting). But for the amount of effort you put into it, it really isn't a big deal. I would compare some old products like Permanon (which I used to love...and there is some correlation here), but not quite as buttery to the touch -- but to be fair, you premixed Permanon to your concentration liking (and you would have to buy a garden atomizer vs Sonax's can solution).

As a sacrificial layer, it's wondrous though. Keep in mind, it's all about the paint/clearcoat prep beforehand that makes a difference.
