Are these Teflon products any good, i know many supercar dealers offer a teflon coating service when buying from them.

Anybody got any experience on these, apparently they help with stonechips etc.

Cheers

 

Are you talking about the 'teflon' polish or the thin plastic film (like armourfend) that is applied to vulnerable stonechip areas?

 

just the teflon polish!

Cheers.

 

General consensus is that it nonsense. Here's an extract taken from a message board on the subject: 'We tested it, and although it's licensed by Dupont it's not made by Dupont. Here is a copy of a letter I got from Dupont about Teflon in car wax from a few years ago.

Mr. Voellm,

Thank you for contacting us, although Teflon® is an exceptional product when used as intended, it provides no benefit in a wax or polish. According to G.R. Ansul of DuPont's Car Care
Products, Specialty Products Division, "The addition of a Teflon® flouropolymer resin does nothing to enhance the properties of a car wax. We have no data that
indicates the use of Teflon® fluoropolymer resins is beneficial in car waxes, and we have not seen data from other people that supports this position." Manufacturers
of gimmicky, over-hyped products sometimes claim that their products contain Teflon®, hoping that the consumer will believe there is something special about that
product. Ansul also notes that, "Unless Teflon® is applied at 700 degrees F, it is not a viable ingredient, and is 100 percent useless in protecting the paint's finish." This
is hot enough that your car's paint (let alone your car) wouldn't survive.
Teflon® is a registered trademark of Dupont.'

 

supper guard is good, but only realy designed to stop bird muck from eating in to the paint,
i use it on all me cars and have tested it on a scraper and was still good ater 4 months (from the time it got bird muck on)

not sure if thats any help

 

Superguard in my opinion isnt worth it at all!

I unfortunately had to sell this product when i worked for BMW. It ultimately adds an additional layer of protection to your paintwork, just like any wax does. But is soon washed off after 2 or 3 washes.

 

+1


superguard is dog shit and just makes money for the garage

 

I'll just stick to the poorboys products then, car is garaged anyway just thought it must have been a decent product if they are doing it to brand new lambo's.

Cheers Craig

 

A lot of wise words above with regard to Teflon and long-life dealer applied sealants.
