5 Star Shine

BS Alert: http://www.5starshine.com/

Claims to last 5 years.
It "opens the pores in your paint!" HA!

But who knows...it could still be a decent wax (at the low price of 70 bucks!). Has anyone dared to try it?

BTW: I found the site by actually clicking on a google ad that simply said "Why wax is bad for a BMW"

Isn't PTFE just Teflon?
If it really lasted 5 years who would ever need to buy a second bottle?
She is really happy looking though, and healthy too. Maybe it is good stuff.
