It does seem to be doing great on my front windshield still. Big disappointment for a ceramic, since I think even Megs UQW does better lol.

I was hoping you might see different results. Didn't mean to be a Debbie-downer several pages ago, but I'm not surprised you saw these results too. My sons Jeep is still going strong with PNS. I will likely re-polish and coat it this summer to get they hydrophobic effect I love.

Here are some beading shots of PNS after driving in the rain.

What is PNS?

The Meguiars HCW is still doing really well on my Camaro, even with the surprise snow & ice it got yesterday.

PNS= polymer net shield, It's one of the best and easiest to apply sealants on the market.

Sonax Polymer Net Shield, sonax polymer netshield, sonax profiline polymer netshield

He hasn't responded in any of the Autopia or AG threads about CMX pretty much since CMX was released and the hype was quickly being called into question.

Thats very disappointing.

Thanks for the feedback and input. its not easy doing my "real" job in sales; traveling to see customers AND watching numerous forums for feedback, comments and questions. I don't know of any other appearance chemical company who does a better job of monitoring forms.

Not a good thing for a company to do on social media site, especially when the sites are in their niche market

Thanks for responding. You are correct as you are one of the few manufacturers that reply to feedback and I appreciate it. So far the lack of durability of CMX is a big concern especially since CMX is labeled a “coating”. I tested it side by side with Moonlight and CMX did not fare well in that test. I’ve yet to layer CMX to see if the durability and dirt rejection increases. CMX is still a good product at a good price, but truthfully I think we were expecting more based on Mother’s projections.
