I was given this kit by a neighbour and although he uses it himself, I am very wary of products claiming to be the end-all of washing...
Snake oil or just another version of the stuff they sell you when you buy a new car?

Straight into the bin. A good wax will last per coat for about eight weeks. A decent sealant will last maybe twelve, and thats about it.
There are one or two very expensive chemical processes which do potect your paintwork but these cost upwards of £1,000 for a car and even they require annual second coats.

As you got it for free, use it - you might be impressed with it........for a while.
But, given that the instructions link on their site mentions it being PTFE (Teflon © ) based - straight away my eyes rolled back, and the cursory shake of the head took hold.
You see, in order for PTFE to work functionally, you need 6-700ºF to bake it on to the acid-etched substrate - that's how your non-stick fry pan is produced.
Any wax/sealant that purports to have PTFE as part of its ingredients, is using the limited knowledge of most people on how the material actually works - so from their point of view, nothing has been said implicitly, but they know most people will put 1 and 1 together, and come up with 5.

Bake... acid... those are words I'd not like to apply to my car, thank you very much But, given that the instructions link on their site mentions it being PTFE (Teflon © ) based - straight away my eyes rolled back, and the cursory shake of the head took hold.

I wasn't intending on using it (I'm more a conventional wash&wax man myself), so I'll just shelf it until I get an opportunity to pass it to someone who cares less about their paintwork
