Hard pressed to find anything that is actually 40 percent off. Most were the usually 20 percent off with a few being 33 percent. Don't see this as much of a Slickdeal.
more expensive and not as good as P&S beadmaker (even when there are no sales on P&S)
P&S beadmaker
First/Application Impressions: Product spread and applied easily, but getting it to completely flash and wipe off without smudging and streaking was extremely difficult and time consuming. I used this on the vehicle's glass as the true wipe off test, and it definitely failed. Multiple combinations of microfibers and techniques could not provide a 100% streak/smudge free finish. If paint required the same effort as the glass did, the clear coat would definitely be marred during the process. What's the point in protecting paint if you damage it in the process?
Second/Later Impression: After finally getting the windshield nearly smudge/streak free, I let the product cure for 24 hours before heading out on a road trip. All was well until it started to rain. At first I was impressed by the beading until I noticed a line starting to form where the wipers ended their stroke. The rain continued for an hour as the product 'buildup' continued at the beginning and end of each wiper stroke.
Returning product and chalking it up to marketing hype.
Anyone else remember that sale that they had on Amazon several years ago where they were selling 1 gallon products with the foam blaster for about $6 with free shipping. That was bonkers. I wish one of those price mistakes would appear again.
Not saying CG products are bad but not sure if they are any better than meguiars. Both have excellent products so you won't go wrong with either, except these are highly advertised expensive products. Check youtube videos on Meguires products and you will know what I am talking about.
