I am not acquainted with the product. Personally, I would not use it. Clearly it has strong cleansing action, but I have to wonder whether it provides sufficient lubrication to prevent swirling when you wipe it off. And I am confident that it does not provide the level of protection one would get from a dedicated wax or sealant. While it has the convenience of being an aerosol product, you're also paying a lot of money for this convenience.

But if you were happy using it on your Accord, then I'm sure you will be happy using it on your S2K. Whatever works. If you're happy with the results, that's all that matters.

JUNK JUNK JUNK!!!! Don't use it!!! You are asking to damage the paint! Did you happen to run into a guy at a gas station or a parking lot selling it?

Stick to a regular washing, application of a dedicated LSP, and for in between invest in some QD and MF towels to keep her looking good.

Basically it is a glorified quick detailer touting the ability to "wash and wax" your car without water...

It doesn't have the carriers needed to safely and effectively remove containments from the paint and you end up dragging it across the paint creating RIDS and swirls. Park the car in direct sun... With your car being Suzuka it will be a bit harder to see but all the swirls or spiderwebs in the paint come from poor was techniques and basically what the spray will do to the car...

If you need a good proven "Waterless" wash system ONR is a great one to use and then follow it up with an LSP... If you want quick and easy get a spray on wax, i recommend Prima Hydro...

If you want something to touch up the car after a wash, say for a Hardpark event or night out on the town after a short drive invest in a quality Quick detailer. Mequiers Ultimate and Prima Slick are some of my favorites to use and they use a polymer that also helps protect the paint...

"one" steps have a price and your car finish shouldn't the the compromise... But I am a bit partial because I detail cars as a hobby and can't stand seeing marks in my paint...

Thanks for the Input man I had No idea. I' be looking to buy Prima Hydro sometime this weekend.
Thanks for your input i greatly appreciate it. I am very meticulous on how my car looks and i would want it to be looking all swirly because of some spray on Wax.

Not a problem glad I could provide some input. Phil over at DetailersDomain started stocking the Prima line this summer and there are certainly some good chems in their line up (Hydro, Slick, Banana Gloss, and Clarity to name a few)
