How do you find it? I'm using the same Glass product from Japan too but don't know what brand they use.

The water repelling quality is very good!

Only a few days into it, still in the process of drying up.
The shine is too great, you can see the lacquer "decay" holes on the bonnet.

Will take a video of the water repelling in the next few days. :)

Ask your groomer what he uses.....

I saw what he use and its all in Japanese! LOL

Same thing for me, all coated except the glass areas and for me the water repelling is still good after 3 months. My groomer has a customer whose car is more than one year on it and the water repelling still good.

Missing files sometime happens to my previous HTC Android phone, try restarting and see if it appears again. Luckily, my new HTC phone don't have this problem.

Hmmm, water repelling on my rim also not that fantastic too... guess the Glass products have limitation.

It actually repells water, but brake dust still stick on the rims, but can be wash off with sponge, not as stuborn as before.

Had my first car wash after 1 month, no efforts required on the car body. However the rims required more attention, but no sturborn stains on alloy.
