Yesterday afternoon I drove about an hour outside of center city Philadelphia to a friends place, the entire weekend had been rainy and nasty! I got there and saw my friends car, a 2002 mitsubishi eclipse, lowered, kit, rims, exhaust, cold air, etc... Very nicely done. His car is black also. After eating, on my way out, he wanted to see the latest mods to my car. So we walk outside and I see how HORRIBLY dirty my car was, yet his looked like it had just been washed! I was amazed at the difference. He told me he used this Dupont Spray wax w/Teflon and it worked miracles! Not sure if you guys have seen the commercial where there's a car in a wind tunnel, the scientest throws a bucket of mud on the car, and it bounce right back at him, leaving car spotless. This is that stuff! I figured I'd give it a try. And at only $7-8 bucks a bottle why not?! I also picked up the Dupont spray wheel & tire cleaner w/Teflon, as these wheels are hard to clean/keep clean.
Anyways, I thought I would post a few pics of it now, and a few later in the week after driving around with a Teflon-coated vehicle.

So -- this begs the question: if nothing sticks to teflon, how does the teflon stick to your paint?
Just kidding, nice job!
Where did you get it?

Duragloss seems very good. Cheap at Carquest and NAPA. I tried the bonding agent and the new 105 total protection polish (synthetic sealant) this weekend. I have never seen the finish on my e34 so slick and reflective. Now we shall see about durability. Waxes only last 2-3 weeks in high heat. I expect this stuff to last much longer.

any streaks??? easy to put on and remove? Looks great.
No streaks, easy for both! By far the easiest wax job i've done. Of course it's just one coat, but wanted to test the effectiveness of the Teflon. If it works as good as I've seen, then I'll step up to a full wax job, with this as the final coat.Originally Posted by Chowchilla Skunkwerks
