5 Star Shine

[tommyjitsu]

I'm not sure if it is OK to ask about a question about a product not on this site. My question is has anyone ever used a product called 5 Star Shine and if so how does it compare to a top quality sealer like Wolfgang, etc.? I seen an advertisement on the web for this 5 star product but looking for some feedback if it is recommended or not. Thanks.

Sure you can ask, we just ask that you don't include links. I have not used it but maybe someone here can help you.

I don't recommend it. I was told it has teflon in the chemistry which affects repainting the car if you need it to be repainted ie. car gets in a wreck or something like that. I use another version of 5 SS that does not have teflon so it's more body shop friendly, but it is expensive.

It has been dismissed several times on several forums. It is a paint sealant similar to Xillion and the durability has been challenged numerous times. Even dealer installed sealants need reapplication for proper protection during warranty periods.

Yeah if you search Autopia you'll find some reviews pretty much dismissing it. Stick with a nice and durable sealant like Duragloss 105, or even a wax like Collinite 915 etc.

For some reason I enjoy killerwheels' posts very much lately.

You cant go wrong with wolfgang sealant. Durability,slickness and protection are very good.

This 5StarShine website has been around forever. They do heavy marketing, but I've never actually read any positive reviews, recommendations, or experiences with the product. So I don't know about you, but I'm not going to try a $70 product from some idiot company that has no reputation.

5Starshine or PPS is a awsome sealant that will outlasts all the other boutique sealants, I can say this without a doubt. 1 kit is enough to do 3 medium sized cars if used properly.

Toughguard? Well if it's toughguard I can say it's not more body shop friendly then PPS/5SS. I have not heard that anyone had a problem to respray a car who have been sealed with 5SS.

Never tried *****, but I tend to shy away from anything that claims to protect and shine forever and ever, like those dealer sealants.:rolleyes:
