Looks TOO GOOD to be true!?!?

http://www.simoniz.com/?cid=350934&g...FQGPWAodpioXaA

Repels fire and flaming hot tar:

Extreme wet shine lasts for weeks


To be that impervious to anything you can throw at it, it doesn't seem to last very long.

Snake oil salesmen have been pushing products like that for years. I remember back in the late 80's seeing a product or two being promoted just like that at the Street Machine Nationals. They never took off for some reason.

I particularly like the battery powered spray head. How lazy does a person have to be to not want to pull a pump trigger?

That trick is used all the time on miracle wax infomercials and it proves nothing. Have any of you ever poured zippo lighter fluid or even 151 rum in your hand and lit it? It burns out long before it gets hot enough to burn your skin or paint. Guys used to do it all the time before disposable lighters came out. Good party trick.

how many times do you light a fire on your hood?
and good...if you throw a bucket of tar on your hood it will wash off the paint....but what about the head lights..grille...etc.
