They work fine for the first year or two, but appearantly they don't totally stop paint oxidation, they just retard it. So when the time comes that a nice buff job would normally do wonders, you can forget it. The Teflon coatings are almost impossible to remove without destroying the paint in the process. These same people bless a high quality wax. What I would like to know is a good, safe way to apply it. I've heard bad things about using a soft rag and elbow grease. -- Rick Kiessig {decvax, ucbvax}!sun!idi!kiessig {akgua, allegra, amd70, burl, cbosgd, dual, harpo, ihnp4}!idi!kiessig Phone: 408-996-2399
