...expect 6 months protection?
I'm beginning to think Mr. Glass is serious about it!
A Civic I waxed with VM/CMW on July 11th was still beading nicely when I rewaxed it (VM/NXT) on January 20th (6 months!) and a Volvo C40 I waxed using VM/CMW on July 28th was beading still when I detailed it again on Monday (March 1st) which is 7 months. Frankly, I was stunned since I know the owner of the Civic washed is probably twice a month and the Volvo once or twice a month (I asked). Beading is not always an indicator of protection, but both cars are a couple of years old, still looked real good after I washed them and both had some slickness left. The owner of the Civic is semi-retired (teaches 3 days a week at a community college) and normally has me wax his cars every 3 months, but was travelling a lot in the fall and over the holidays. The owner of the Volvo is a professional woman with 2 young kids (so much fun cleaning the crushed crayons on the leather seats). Neither had waxed their cars since I had last done it and obviously, neither vehicle is a garage queen either.
True, we get no acid rain or industrial fallout around here but I am still impressed with the results. Nearly 4 months of beading on a tan Lexus LS400 also...and the build date on the car is 9/94! Definitely not beading because the paint is new. Rewaxing with CCC/NXT made it look better, but not dramatically so the 'look' seems pretty durable as well.
Anyone else have a similar experience with CMW or maybe another product that has suprised you with better durability than you thought?
