Nano-Diamond Shield
Has anyone used this stuff? I might just try it to see if it will last through a winter in MA, but would like some feedback before I waste money on it.

I use it on my car, not particularly the paint, but on the wheels. Brake dust rinse off with just water. 
For the paint, I use Optimum Opti-coat 2.0. It's a permanent coating that's basically like adding another thin layer of clearcoat onto the car, except the water beading effect is pretty much there all the time.
Nano diamond shield hardens to 4-H while Opti-coat hardens to 9-H, which is why I chose it for the paint. It's more resistant to fine scratches which is a must for black cars.

Thanks for the info! Wouldn't hardening make the paint more brittle? There has to be some flex so that the paint doesn't spider crack, right?

^^ Thanks, man. I'll be picking this up next time I swing around PepBoys.
^ Let me know how it works out for you. You'll probably be able to use it before I can. It's too cold here.

Because the Opti-coat cost double of what the Diamond Nanoshield cost
I use the Opti-coat because it's permanent on the paint. I could use it on the wheels, but that's too much money to burn. The can of diamond shield will work on wheels and glass window where the opti-coat won't work on glass. Diamond shield is like rain-x on steroid. Apply it correctly and it'll last longer.

Forgot where I read it, but yes you can safely apply wax over it if you feel, but if you apply this and then try to use a compound/polish it will strip away the Nano Diamond Shield. Best to do compound and correction first, THEN apply the Diamond Shield, THEN if you feel necessary add a layer of carnuba wax to it.

The website states that the shield will last 12 months, guaranteed.
Yes, apparently you can wax over the product for an ever better shine. Waxing over will also make the paint appear swirl free.
