5-Star Shine...is this stuff legit?
Anyone heard of this stuff? Or, better yet, tried it? If this stuff is legit, seems a lot better than regular waxing.

That's what I'm thinking...but I've never heard of it until recently. Hoping someone on here has tried it on their Evo (or other car) and could tell if this stuff is any good or if it's total BS.
hahaha, they dont know what they are talking about. the chemical structure that was supposed to be sulfuric acid (h2so4) wasnt even close, they showed a bicyclic compound or something. i stopped the video there
people that dont like chemistry, just know its wrong.
i wouldnt trust their product
my 2 cents

You can look up the patent they referenced in the product at the us patent office website here.

justboosted02: read the patent, don't just look at marketing materials. Marketing materials are typically made by people in marketing. Patents are filed by inventors.
From what I just read (the patent), it sounds legit, provided that the positively charged surface (the car) stays positively charged long enough for the polymers to elongate due to heat exposure and form the protective plating of the aminofunctional polysiloxanes and polytetrafluoroethylene polymer resin particles (aka the PTFE clear-coat).

Thanks EvoLocke! Good post. This stuff does seem legit when you read the patent. Still wondering if anyone has actually used it. Right now, I'm thinking of giving it a try. If I do, I'll do a write up on it.
