Crystal Guard Tested and used. <Pics inside>

OKay so I was tempted to see how well this stuff worked and no one seemed to try it so I splurged and bought it. Here's my .02

It was about $50 for the bottle and it seems i'll get a good 9 coats out of it? REALLY easy to apply. It's like the Eagle 1 stuff in terms of application but I think it works better. (Better shine and feel)

To apply you jsut spray while your car is still wet, and spread with a damp microfiber towel. Then you dry. That easy. Right after I spread it with the microfiber, the rinse just beaded up it was very pretty

I have some pictures on shutterfly here and hopefully it does it justice. Keep in mind it was overcast and not much light to reflect. I"ll try to get some more pics at the beach with blue skies if it ever clears up

As for the feel, I couldn't tell if I was rubbing sheet metal or glass. It is as smooth as glass.

My friend saw the max and first thing she said was "Wow, your car looks shinier. Did you wax it?" I was surprised considering that I've used Zaino, some other random wax I bought, and this. This was the only one that got the compliment. I'm VERY happy with this stuff but it's a little pricy. I would have to say I like it better than Zaino Bro's stuff. Now I just gotta try MaximaDave's favorite, Klasse.

Glad it all worked out for you. I'll have to give it a try sometime soon. BTW, are the results from a straight wash & wax or have you bar clayed or whatever recently?

I washed with Dawn to get the wax off, then clayed only certain parts of the car (where there was bird crap, bugs, etc.) then CG'ed it.

I clayed it a little over a year ago and kept waxing it since so no real big need for more clay.

Thanks! I'll keep all that in mind.
