I've just started using it and really l how it applies too. I'll finish up using it everytime I wash the car to develop depth. Hopefully it'll prove worthwhile as I like how it looks.

Yeah that VW shines nice!
CG has plenty of great products
that´s one of their problems... they have way too many products (clones) for each use..
rather one product and strong, than a dozens inferiors..
I never understood why people dislike an abundance of choice. Since CG are not the blenders, they are free to cover ever single niche as they see fit. It's very smart from a business/marketing perspective.
You said you wanted your money back. Which product were you dissatisfied with?

I can’t speak about CG.........
I’m all about choices as long as there is an easily discernible difference between the products. Mother‘s has 3 different types of spray wax - Marine, Speed, and California Gold. The Marine does not state that it is for Marine use only, and I cannot tell the difference between the Speed and the California Gold.
Obviously this is a first world problem but annoying nevertheless
I used CMX on my Atlas before I installed a real coating. It performed pretty well and looked great. If you spray it onto the car instead of into your towel or applicator, any spots of overspray will dry white.
Yes!, you are correct,
i learned that the hard way, sprayed on car to get "more coverage" and bam, white around the letters and emblem on trunk where the micro would not get.
I guess I'm the sole person who's not a fan of TW Sesl & Shine. Bought a bottle and tried it on the Mustang Friday night, and that was a miserable experience. Streak, streak and more streak. Going back over it with a wet microfiber evened it out, but it left the paint feeling unprotected. A dry microfiber would drag across the paint as if there was no sealant at all. Took a handful of water and tossed it on the hood....hardly any bead.
I now have another expensive bottle of wheel detailer. Not sure what went wrong, but the experience didn't mirror what I've read about it here.

Sounds like your surface wasn't well prepped and then you used too much.
Just more trial & error. Definitely not stripping the car back down to the clearcoat so a spray sealant will act right. I'd invest the time if I was applying a coat of Collinite, but not for this. No such issue with Beadmaker.

Also…was the surface too warm?
Nope. It was 8pm and the car had been in the garage since 4pm.
It's been hovering around 45%
How much did you use?
I only did the hood before the cussing started and I put it away. Each half of the hood got two sprays. There's ample warning about overuse on the label. I followed the directions.
