    oh man that sux! I thought about asking if it washed off, but skipped it cuz of the 2 yr thing.

    Try the ShowRoom New. 27 months and counting, haven't applied a thing to it, and hasn't changed whatsoever (well, except where the jerk scratched/scraped/dug into my cladding around the pass tail light guard). But I touched that up and it's fine now.

    Just in case, while reading the Amazon reviews, most users that are satifisfied with the product state to "keep the product out of sun and avoid washing for at least 24 hrs."

    Could this be an issue with your results since you wash the car right after? Could you please give it another try in a small cladding area before you return it?

    Just wondering. (so I don't think this is over yet!!!)

    I did apply in the shade under a pop up tent and the VX was nice in cool. I took the tent down for the pics.
    I didn't want to wate 24hrs,I washed it about 3hrs after I was done incase it would be permanent.
    It looked like crap thou"To me it did" I put that stuff on like a surgeon and no matter what I still got streaks...
    maby after 24hrs it will withstand a car wash and last 2 years..but I'm not willing to travel that far down the rabbit hole of Whipe new.

    I'm asking because even posts related to Showrooom New in this site talk about streaking, applying 2-3 coats, waiting for some time to cure, etc.
    It won't be fair if the same process is not applied to Wipe New. I don't think anyone in this site washed the car three hours after applying Showroom New.

    I'm not in favor of any products here, just want to make sure that the testing process is consistent / fair.

    I'm waiting as the cladding issue is my next project!!! (I have to finish 2 bottles of Meguiar Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer first!! )

    The bottle & instructions did say 3 coats...I did 4 and still got streaking. Nothing I did helped and after 3 hrs it did dry! even to the touch,maby not fully cured,but enough to see thats what it was going to look like even 24hrs later.

    Now to be more in deph about the streaking,it was very hard to see.
    Only at certin angles and shading could you see it,but it was there.I have OCD when it comes to car detail lol.

    BUT!! this is all just my opinion.
