Anything that says "eliminates waxing forever" gets immediately discounted as useful in any way, imo. Nevermind the crazy "WHAM" sound the site pummels you with when you open it.

As with all these "never wax again" products (Xzilon, Diamond Green, Crystal Guard etc...) it looks like just another high durabilty sealant that costs way too much money.

Can't say I have. A bit costlier than than most online products. Let us know how it works out for you. One thing I noticed from reading the descriptions of the Knockout and Spider. It states it removes surface swirls then goes on to say it fills scratches. I just don't know how to translate that or maybe I'm not understanding it.

I don't know, the stuff sounds pretty darn good. From what I researched on other forums including autopia.org, those who actually used the product seem to really like it a lot. Those who have not used it are very skeptical. I guess if its good enough for the aerospace industry....... you never know.

I think we're all kind of talking about different things. I think you're using them as an alternative to other popular sealants under the assumption they will look good and last awhile. I think we're ragging on them based on their claims that they will last 5 years. No sealant lasts 5 years. If they're decent products as alternatives to other mainstream products (polishes, sealants, etc...) and you get good results easily and 4-6 months of durabilty I think that would be great - but I wouldn't expect a miracle like they seem to be offering.

I agree about the 5 year thing. They could be an amazing company with an amazingly good product but they are ruining their self image by claiming that 5 year crap, but then again they must feel pretty confident to offer a gurantee that it will last 5 years, although maybe full of loop holes. Even if it lasts a year or six months, thats pretty good.
