Default Anyone tried this?

I don't get over in this section much, so if this is a dupe, forgive me. I saw this as a click-on ad here on the forum and was just wondering if there's anything to it. It sounds good, especially to those of us who'd rather put most of our effort into the making the car faster rather than spending time waxing.

Can't we do both?

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, of course with Zaino being the exception.

I think the problem with PTFE (aka Teflon) is that in order for it to bond properly, you have to do it a very high temps. Otherwise it will wash away.

Actually it is very common to wax the radomes on radar systems on Navy ships. Trust me, I speak from experience on this... We used to use the OLD turtle wax which was a pain to put on and even harder to remove.

Here's a picture of the radomes of my first ship.
