I really purchased it to test for longevity, so far so good, but we'll see by the end of summer if it's holding up or not.

Ryan,
Thanks for your input. The two main reasons that this interest me or that it is advertised as a harder coating than the clear coat It also reduces the amount of dirt that sticks to the car. Both of these features would reduce swirl marks and make the general clean up of the car easier. The downside is that it is difficult to apply without screwing up your paint. I do not think that I would try to do this job on my Camaro. I might pay to have it done by a professional that was experienced with the product.

How does the finish look on the car that you did? does it look as good as your car with the Adams Americana? I use Americana on my car and it looks great.

Thanks
