Has anyone used TST 5000, a teflon paint protectant, or know anything about it? The guy that is going to install my Invinci-Shield mentioned it to me and I was curious about it It's supposed to last for 5 years on new paint

Most of what I've read and heard has lead me to believe that:

1. Teflon in car care products is a gimmick and gives no actual benefits to the user.

its a good question that we have discussed before.
the main problem with teflon type products, imo, is that some day you will want to really maintain your paint!

as above, its better to just use a high quality synthetic that you will someday remove with polish and then replace-
