Hi, I have used 5 Star Shine and I have found that it does work as it has been described. I have had it on my car for over 6 months now with the same beading action as it has had when I put it on. I don't even need soap to wash, i just use water and a car brush....

In response to the Dupont quote, the way I understand that 5 star works based on reading their patent on the US Patent/trademark website is that: the solution in which the teflon is suspended and the way it interacts and cures to the cars paint surface is what allows the teflon to become interlocked with the paint surface. Because of this process the teflon doesn't need to be heated to 'fuse' to the paint.

As with any car finish protection, the surface preparation is the most important part prior to applying. They recommend using a clay bar to clean the paint surface of the impurities. I can only surmise that hcvone didn't use it/prepare the paint correctly. There shouldn't be such a disparity in protection and time.
