My friend's roommate is auto parts distributor, and I guess he has access
to a great Teflon Wax job for cheap...supposedly he says.
He said it's 5 years guarantee, will cost me $200 for the whole job..
at dealers cost $400 he said.

Is this supposed to be a good deal, considering I don't have to do it myself? (I'm too lazy lol)
I'm having a lotta doubts about this, so I would like to find out.
Is Teflon Wax that much better than regular waxes?
I think, no matter how good the wax is, lasting 5 years is a BS.

Also, my Z's CS...is it worth getting that kind of wax job to a silver car?
If I had SB I would really think about getting one done, if price is being right.

 

Looks like your friend's roomate doesn't like your friend or you because this is exactly what dealers try to pull to rip you off.

 

Sounds a little too pricey (and fishy) to me.

 

RIP OFF!!!!!

Last year my wife paid for one of these wax jobs for her new Yukon. The water beaded for about 1 month then it was gone. They reapplied and in another month it was gone.
After 6 months we got most of our money back.

 

Fancy name for a cheap wax job. Save your money, DIY!

 

Anything with the word Teflon in it that isn't associated with cookware raises the BS flag for me.

 

Here's a head scratcher - if nothing sticks to teflon, how is teflon going to stick to your car's paint?

Answer: it won't!

Zaino's a polymer that starts out un-cured. Then you apply it, and it chemically cross-links (bonds) to both paint and previous layers of Zaino. Teflon is a polymer that is already cured, in other words it doesn't have much stick factor.

Get Zaino, and do it yourself , if you're REALLY too lazy, I would just pay a neighborhood kid to do it for you.

 

complete snake oil.

 

Except for the dollar worth of product and the salary for the guy using a shop cloth to do the car, it is pure profit. An old lady across the street from me had been talked into the same kind of BS and paid $500 for something that would last 5 years but for some reason was gone after 2 months. She was just a little PO'd.

Don't waste your money.

 

You can buy teflon wax for 10 bucks.

 

Teflon is a material that requires very high temperatures to adhere it to another surface. I made the mistake of buying this crap from the dealer. I was quickly "educated" by other members of the forum, and one even sent me an article on the use of Teflon in everything from household cleaners to car polishes. Essentially, it's all garbage. Get yourself either a nice Zaino starter kit or if you don't want the expense, use the Meguiars system. I have seen both in action and both work very well.

I really like the Zaino, but the big plus for Meguiars is that they are an avvid supporter of our community with everything from sponsoring HIN to sponsoring our local club "detail days". Even if I have to apply their product more often, I like to support the supporters. Properly applied, Meguiars is good stuff.

 

Teflon has ABSOLUTELY NO USE in auto detailing products. It has to be heated to upwards of 700-800 degrees before it becomes "adherent" to whatever you are trying to "teflon-coat".

This is a complete ripoff. Don't do it.
