This product is very promising (no affiliation) it's designed for the DIY crowd.

This is what I have used successfully on all our vehicles, most recently my Mustang. To ea their own but I surely wouldn’t use a $12.50 product because it was Lexus labeled!Bought another bottle yesterday for my NX due in before 1/7/25 (hopefully). It may not be the best but I don’t need the best. I need something that is easy to use and does what it says (tongue in cheek). I’m pretty much sure it won’t last anywhere near the 9+ yrs it claims but from previous use 3-4yr easily.

For those that are interested in maintaining your own vehicle I suggest reading this guys info on my Mustang board. He is a professional detailer and freely shares his experience and product knowledge https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/thr...t-2024.178215/

I've been using this Adam's Graphene Advanced these days too. Really works.

Ditto "System-X" who makes coatings for aviation and marine applications as well. https://www.systemx.com/. Not all coatings are the same, neither are the "appliers".

Sweet Mustang — Thanks for providing example pic of your recommended product being used

I wouldn’t have bid on the Lexus CC up for auction on eBay (currently at $12.50) as you never know how old it is or if the liquids have been used/tampered with unless it’s somehow sealed​​​​​. I’m glad I confirmed on Bell Lexus that this IS a current item for sale.

I paid to have a BMW detailed around 10 years ago as it was recommended by a friend. I can safely say it made no long term difference whatsoever. A complete waste of money.
Another friend, who works for Toyota, told me that if it did make a significant difference the manufacturers would be applying it.
