x-cote?
 

anyone try this locally based product? looks sick!

Looks great but you can't polish it. If you polish it and go through, which you will as its very thin, the entire panel has to be wet sanded to remove it. :(

We've used Mark for the last 3 or 4 years. Theres reasons I would recommend it, and reasons I wouldn't...
It worked perfect for us at the dealership because we needed the cars to look good before they sold...

Pros-
Cars paint looks awesome, even big scratches are visibly reduced almost 100%
Good price(retail not so much, but pm me if you want 30-40% off)
Paint stays perfect for entire life on the lot.

Cons-
Doesn't last forever, after heavy rain hail or snow for 5-6 months it can wear off.
Too many applications on the same car will have negative effects
Have to be careful during the first two weeks as it's very thin/fragile, any chemicals or rubbing will mess it up.

So basically unless you have a car show coming up, or your trying to sell your car, I wouldn't go for it, because it's not very long term, but we get an awesome price on it if you wanna try it out.

thanks for the input.. i had the impression that it bonds to the existing clear coat so you could polish it after it is cured... if it just acts as a film over the clear then i will pass...

i'll PM u after the winter season for the discount :thumbsup:

^Word.
