Pinnacle Black Label Surface coating

[LC DETAIL]

I use PBL SURFACE coating on 3 diferentes cars and only 4-6 months of good beading. Sorry, but my other ceramics coating are more durable (cquartz, gyeon....) im very disapointed

I bought a bottle of the surface coating when it first came out over two years ago. Used it the other day with no issues so I'd say the shelf life is pretty good!

Same here! I'm coming up on two years and still have about 1/3 of the bottle left. I used it on two different sets of wheels in the last month and it has worked just fine. (Frankly, I'm really impressed with the shelf life.)

I agree... shelf life is off the charts.
I bought a full set that first sale that never went bad. (More since)

I also agree that it's easier, and more effective in the long run to just do a good cleaning and reapply more coating every 6~8 months over the 'booster'. Sometimes, on dark (usually solid) colors the booster will smear/streak. End up applying it like the coating, IE with the CarPro block and suede microfiber. Might as well just put more coating on all things considered.

I'm sure the coating is still there, just not as slick, and without the extreme hydrophobic properties it once had. That's JMHO of course.

Well, thanx to everyone for your helps. I'm really dissapointed about that product.. 4-6 Mounths for a coating, It is not what I was expecting when I bought it.

Even when you see "Last for yearS" I never thought that it will last for years but I wasn't looking for a mounths doing the right maintenance with the right product. I am dissapointed because the finish is really really good on my car, better than more of products I have try, and the beading is impressive. It's still a good product that is really easy to use, I would recommend it for good reasons, but knowing that it will not last as long
