Alright - finally got around to picking up a bottle. I have to say, I'm impressed so far.

We'll see how it holds up over the next week or so, but I have high expectations:

So I used this on my black Charger and the bead game is strong.
Full hand wash and full clay bar (was nasty from winter). Then heavily sprayed the HCW on the car with a light rinse off and then blow dried with spray detail wipe.
Cars a true DD so it gets dirty quick but washing it today was much quicker. I think it’s worth the price.
Going to do the Shelby this week.

This is supposed to blow the meguires out of the water. Under $7 a bottle.

Testing to come

Funny but after the posts above, I went to the parts shop and did exactly what you guys mentioned.
The Turtle Ice N Seal was seriously next to the HCW, with both on good sales.
I washed the Shelby and after clay did the HCW followed by a blow dry and then the Turtle Ice seal n shine as the topper.
It was late but I’ll try for pics tomorrow but I’ll say it looks amazing!
The HCW was a thick application and there were some small water spots/streaks after drying. The Turtle Ice made quick works of those and felt great applying, plus gave killer shine and made the trim parts stand out.
I think the HCW followed by Turtle Ice seal will be my go to from here out over normal waxes.

When/if I ever get my DD Volvo back from repairs, I'm going to try a bottle of HCW on it.

My favorite is still CG JetSeal. With a thorough prep job before applying, that stuff not only lasts a long time, but our outdoor vehicles look sparkling clean even after a rainstorm. Only "dirt" issue we really deal with around here is all of these lawnmower zealots mowing their dirt in the dry months. The lawn grew 2 microns yesterday, better mow it!

Has anyone applied this that has vinyl stripes, particularly flat colored stripes?

I bought a couple bottles, but then I chickened out just spraying all over the car after a wash because my flat black stripes are brand new.

I ended up applying by hand, just spraying it on a microfiber clothe and wiping it in. If you buff out before it dries, that works fine. If you let it dry, it is a PITA to buff off.

Although I haven't used it on flat black stripes myself, it appears safe for all surfaces. I don't know if it would end up glossing the flat black, but it isn't permanent. If you apply too much or have streaks, then buff out with a damp (with water) micro fiber. It comes right out.

I used it on my flat black vinyl on my car. It turned out good, but I finished it off with my 303 Aerospace Protectant.

Bimini, how heavy did you apply it?
Pretty heavy, like almost a half bottle to do the entire car.
It worked great on the vinyl stripes.
I just redid the Hellcat tonight since I had all the supplies still out.
I really like the HCW then Ice as the topper.
I maybe applying the HCW too thick, but it seems to work well, just definitely need a detail spray or something after you dry.
Bead game is strong.

You're making me want to add ICE to the Meguire's.
