I have...

1) It smells really rancid hehe
2) It has a pretty good durability rating for me... on average, it lasts about 3 months in Manila (daily rain, high humidity and high heat) weather.
3) Has almost no gloss whatsoever.
4) Attracts dust
5) Makes cleaning easy coz dirt (even bird poo) doesn't stick
6) Cheap
7) Hard to apply thinly by hand... best used with a machine.

Basically, it's a beater car product... I used Liquid Diamond on this CRV I detailed 3 months ago, and it still looks ok now (stain resistance and sheeting wise)... This CRV had a lot of hard water stains due to 3 year use of provincial deep well water and the owner's refusal to wax the car hehe.




But it won't make your car look stunning... even if you top it off with a good wax.

If you're after a cheap, durable sealant, this is not a bad choice, but if you're after good looks, scrap this.
