ok so i am very interested in purchasing this product, i will call tomorrow to place my order, just a few questions though, right now i wash my ride once a week and use turtle wax ice once a month, once i use WP will i need to wash it every week?  i also have 18" kruz K30's which are chrome on it, it usually takes about 10-15 min. a wheel to completly clean, will WP cut this time? also right after i clean the wheels i drive a few miles and then they have dust all over them, will WP help this any? I live in Tucson Arizona and lately it has been quite windy, i was my car and an hour later its dusty from all the dirt blowing aroud will WP repel the dust or make it easier to get rid of? I have been reading posts all weekend about small scratch removal and swirls and all your input has halp me out a ton! thanks for all your input! have a great day!

i watched the tutorial video on their website and they said its a good idea to not use it in windy conditions, and you also dont need to wash your car before you apply it, but i wash my car anyways because i want a deep clean and i dont want me towels to get all black

and it should cut the time for cleaning your wheels
i cleaned my rims for about 5 minutes each wheel
but that also depends on how well you do it
i didnt clean them that great...

Will you have to wash it every week? HMMM.......I guess you mean because of the blowing dust? Once two coats of WP have been done it will be easier to keep clean but there are too many variables to give that a yes or no answer. You might be able to get by with a good rinse and wipe down with a microfiber towel.

When you call to order be sure to tell them you found out about it on this forum.

I'd say that the time to clean each wheel will be cut down but it's not anti static......dust is dust, it will accumulate eventually but be easier to remove. WP will blow you away with chrome.

Generally they ask how you heard about the product, it just saves a little time that's all.  No hidden underlying reasons if that's what you're thinking.

Not likely, that calls for Kryptoniteor Dynamite.

I've only come across one product that will help......Finish Kare #425, a spray on quick detailer that imparts anti-static properties to the paint along with an outstanding shine and slick feel. It helps with dust, no two ways about it, but pollen? It will help some but when you're dealing with tons of pollen in the air I don't know how much good it would do.

Scroll down to #425      http://www.fk1usa.com/products-consumer.htm
Note: If you decide to try it order a 4oz. mist bottle on the same site. The sprayer on the quart bottle sucks. You can do an entire full sized car with less than 1/2 ounce. Microfiber towels required as with most everything -  except Wet Paint......terrycloth works best in that case.

I used wet paint for the first time last week. 

Time will tell if this product is a "one of a kind" product. 

I keep wondering though if if take an average wax and liquify it to the point I can spray it would I get the same results?   I think I do a trial.

Wax has no cleaning or sealing properties like Wet Paint. They are not even close to each other in performance or purpose.

How do you know?  Facts, figures?

By the way I did use it on two vehicles and it worked  very well.  

But so has regular car wax.

Product knowledge*, simple as that. Some "cleaner waxes" have a little cleaning property but none have the cleaning ability of WP. I'm glad that you like the look. You'll find that it will last considerably longer than a standard carnuba wax does too.

*Read the product description of WP and do the same on a carnauba wax. The differences are apparent.
