It doesn't last though. So you'd still have to wash your car

Heard about this a long time ago. It's not clear yet. Look up some YT videos. Promising, but not as remarkable as I thought...not yet anyway.

I bought this stuff as soon as it came out just to mess around with it. Here are my thoughts:

-It works exactly as advertised, pretty friggin amazing honestly.
-As COOLBD said, it is NOT clear. It's a two step process and it leaves kind of like a white frosted look on it. If you don't mind your item looking like that then you can use it (I am going to spray an umbrella because I think that's pretty useful)
-It's expensive. $20 for the two cans (step 1 and 2). Covers about 15 sq ft.
-It's rough. It leaves behind a texture so its not perfectly smooth.

All in all it definitely is cool and does what it means to do, but it has its uses on certain items, would never ever spray it on my car in a million years. That being said, I am sure they are going to continue to improve on it until they can get it to be both smooth and clear and to bring the price down.

Look it up on YT. It didn't turn out quite as I expected.

Absolutely not, haha. It would make your window opaque.
