Dr. Beasley's Formula 1201 Coating - 4 oz., Instant Bonding Coating, Withstands Hundreds of Washes, Hydrophobic - P38T04

Found easy to use on black. Great deep shine. Best thing it get dusty etc then a good rain seem to wash it right off the black stays cleaner so much longer. Small bottle goes a lot farther than u think. Lasts a few months stored outside. 5 years old and looks new love it. Second photo year later a lot of snow this winter. After a good rain most salt etc washes right off.

Realistically this product lasts about two months if you park you car outdoors before it loses it's defectiveness. During that time the car stays much cleaner and when washing the road grime, bug splatter and tree sap are much easier to remove. It's extremely easy to apply and you use about a quarter of the bottle per application (2017 Audi A4). Cost effective? Maybe. It lasts about as long as Sonax PNS or CG Jeatseal and much longer than Sonax Brilliant shine or Wolfgangs spray sealant.Picture shows how water beads up and rolls off after being rained on overnight.

I can say this is the best product I’ve used for auto detailing. Follow every instruction and you’ll have a smooth slick and shiny car after you clay, cut and polish. Make sure you use DISTILLED water when applying this coating.

Worth the money

Easy to apply, doesn’t flash & rainbow like other ceramics, easy to buff off. The pro’s end there. I was hoping for a labor/ time efficient coating to offer customers as an alternative to traditional ceramics, but IMO the results were comparable to that of carnauba wax. Slight improvement in water sheeting, no water beading to speak of. Decent shine.No idea what the expected longevity of this product would be, but I seriously doubt it is a true ceramic coating w/ a ceramic coating lifespan. I’m led to believe this because none of the applicators I used hardened up over the following 48 hours post application. Every other ceramic I’ve tried, whether it’s $10 Chinese 9H in a blue bottle or top of the line IGL Kenzo, has ALWAYS rendered applicators unusable within a day after applying the coating due to the residue hardening on the sponge’s surface. Again, this did not happen with Dr. Beasley’s.if you’re considering purchasing this product, I’d pass on it.

Goes on easy. I would recommend using distilled water in a spray bottle. Buffs right off to a mirror like shine. Follow the direction for perfection. I noticed a big difference. It's worth the price. You don't have to use much at a time.

Not as good as other products out there.

This stuff really works. Gave my truck an awesome gloss
