The simple answer is - NO.
No one likes a streaker - or do they?!
If you start getting streaks, it means that your towel is oversaturated, and you need to either flip it around or get a fresh new towel. Using a plush microfiber towel will help a lot with this.
This is also a highly concentrated formula, you won't need to use as much as other products you're used to.
DA FAQ?
How long does it last?
We say 6+ months. I've seen it go much longer, but 'under-promise and over-deliver' is my motto.
Does it offer UV protection?
With clear coats as thin as they are these days I personally never want anyone rolling around without protection on their cars surfaces. Yes UV protection is included in Hard As Shell!
Can it be layered?
Yes, I use this on my cars after almost every wash. You can also use it on top of an existing ceramic coating. Every few months or after a really nasty storm I like to mix Pure Magic Cleaner into my foam cannon and do a strip wash and then reapply Tough As Shell. See the video:
Can it pass a torture test?
Yes of course - I fully expect others to torture test the crap out of it. I did it first to make sure it will pass.
Can it be used as a drying aid?
Yes - you can use a few sprays per panel before you dry your car to add an extra layer of protection. It goes on smooth and does not streak!
What is the cure time?
Jimbo's Tough as Shell features what I like to call a "combined-release system". What this means is that it cures instantly and continues to fully cure after 24 hours. Unlike other ceramic sprays It can be exposed to rain and washing instantly, but will also continue to fully cure for 24 hours after application. This also means that you can layer it on top of itself right away as well.
