I have absolutely no clue who you are but you need to do your homework when supposedly quoting me. I have You Tube videos of me using Zaino, Meguiar's and Adam's so I am well aware of the multitude of products on the market. Secondly, I have NEVER scoffed at a paint thickness gauge. As a matter of fact, I tell people not to attempt wet sanding without one. Go look at my wet sanding videos.

You obviously have me mixed up with someone else.

I don't have you mixed up, but you essentially put me down by saying "no nano technology needed here " My apologies for the paint gauge remark, it is not relevant (it happened on DB, if you are curious).

Anyway, your initial response to my post provoked me to respond because you came off as discounting nano technology and being on the number of detailing forums you are on, I would have assumed you would be aware of the massive benefits over traditional waxes and sealants nano technology has.

I'm not discrediting you or putting you down (you're being way too sensitive here). What you said was:

What I ASKED you was if that was true, why do I not have a problem with water spots and bird droppings if that's the case and I'm not using that type of product? Maybe what you should have said is that YOU have found that type of protection extremely helpful in those types of situations. You can't responsibly put it out there as if it is in stone when that is obviously not the case.

One thing that I can vouch for is that a lot of detailing forums contain a lot of personal opinions that get passed on without a lick of research. Personally, I like to use the products myself and run my own simple little test. Luckily for me, I get sent quite a bit of product from all over the place asking me for my opinion. Most of the stuff I have never heard of.

that's right! Junkie always tests things out before speaking. I trust him 100%-he has never steered me wrong and is a pretty generous person with his time.
