Photos of my VX taken just after detailing are now in my gallery!

Looks good! Can you give us some more details?

• I recall the commercial said it lasts up to 2 years, know if it penetrates or forms a "coating"?
  
• How did you apply it? Rag, sponge etc?
  
• Any streaking?
  
• One coat?
  
• Is it shiny, matte, satin?
  I know when I took my pics they sometimes didn't capture the finish right, plus it depended on if it was overcast or sunny out.
  
• Is it tacky, oily or sticky at all? If so, does it go away after a while?
  
• Attract dust any more, less?
  
• Rub off on your hand/clothes after it's dry/cured/whatever?
  
• Think it would crack or chip off if abraded?

As I stated... It was a professional detailer who did the work.
All I remember is that they said it was a lot of work... They did several coats and because it was raining the day they did it, I left it in their garage overnight at their insistence.
I picked it up the next day when the weather cleared and the roads were dry.

It seems following the instruction not to get it wet for 24 hours is crucial for good results.

Cladding looks MUCH better than it did and I have no complaints and none of the issues you ask about above. I will have it detailed again by the same guys 1-2 times a year whether she needs it or not.

It seems that multiple coats and an evening out of the product being applied by going back over the areas with excess accumulation is just the nature of the beast when it comes to the cladding on a VX. I know I've tried a few different kinds of cladding products and it's always been the same anyway.

Regardless of what product it's been though, what's always worked best for me is using VERY light pressure on the applicator (sponge, micro-fiber cloth, etc) when going back over the cladding to even out the product excess.

I've seen better PR trolls for Michael Jackson's "Sleep over sing a long" album.

Man, that's the strangest comment yet.
You haven't looked through ANYBODY's gallery have you?
Nor does it appear you've used the "search" function at all, otherwise you'd know the answers to every question you've asked on this forum so far.

Are those OEM rims?….really?

Guy,

You won't find a nicer, more welcoming online community of owners than we are - period.

You just have to work on your approach is all. I've read your post where you say you understand how you came across, and am glad you are able to see that now.

If it's your enthusiasm to contribute that got the better of you, then definitely try to channel it in ways that will be appreciated and not come off as spammy. For example, sharing your own experiences with the VX, like how long you've had it, where you've been, what you want to do with it, what you regret and so forth would go a long way to not just contributing but also helping us to get to know you better.

And leave the advertising to the paid pitchmen.

See you around,
-V

Why would I join a site dedicated to the vx and not own one? Really?

You're not off to a good start in our community. Most "VX owners" joining a new site would opt to introduce themselves here first. Instead you went right into starting a new thread with little information other than, "I'm a new member, trust me blindly."

Please introduce yourself & post some pics.


Wonder why we're skeptical? Check out this thread...

Suit yourselves..iv think its awesome. .. and it says right on the directions.. do not get on paint.. I guess u can't fix stupid

[tom4bren]

heavy,

Sorry that we attacked you personally. We're glad that you are a VX enthusiast like us & welcome you to the family.

The attack was actually against spammers in general. Since you had so few posts & didn't check back into your thread, it threw up all of the red flags that scream "SPAM".

Glad the WipeNew worked for you but unfortunately other members have had a bad experience with it.

"... and it says right on the directions.. do not get on paint.. I guess u can't fix stupid"

That's the part that scares me. I'm a messy detailer. I'll just keep on using Back 2 Black since I can schlep that stuff everywhere & it won't hurt paint. Thanks for your input though.
