Teflon - fake / real / or scam ?
Is teflon coating good for the car paint. Does it protect the car paint or causes any damage or is it a scam , I had a customer who said that she had Teflon coating on the car and she was told not to put wax on it ..

Customers are dumb.. she meant POLISH, not wax. Polish or anything abrasive will remove an LSP.
I don't know the 100% on your question. From my research PTFE (Teflon from Dupont) needs to be heat applied and baked in high temps to get the effect you see in your frying pan.
I do have a wax that contains PTFE and acrylic resins. I must say that its applied on my windshield, and it seriously has been giving me 8+ month of water beading

Teflon Harms the paint.. in my country its the term used for a "bad crappy job involving a guy doing something with a rotary and the worst brand auto-polish" for people that doesnt known 1 thing about anything car related.

How is SwissVax selling Shield? That's their durable wax with Teflon. Maybe the Teflon doesn't bond to the paint, but its emulsified in the wax to make it more hydrophobic? I don't think SwissVax would be selling non-sense. I think they have been around like 80 years.

Re: Teflon - fake / real / or scam ?
I['ve never had an opportunity to read anything about PTEF on paint...there's just so many other quality products out there for paint...just never looked into it for such.
However, PTEF seems to be offered in several product lines for the marine detailing industry...errr...um...at least it's sold to everyday boaters as over-the-counter products, and product lines, at places like Boat U.S. (may be out of business now...idk...) and West Marine. One product line that comes to mind is the Starbrite brand of products, which seem to be one of the more popular lines sold at those stores...at least around the Great Lakes region.
I've used several Starbrite products and the only product that really sticks out as an undeniable go-to product is their Deck cleaner, and it works far better than anything else I've tried including ARO which didn't impress me at all.

I think this is the first typo I've ever seen from you Bob...
As for the question, I think the product must contain it but am skeptical as to if it provides any real benefit other that a different form of hydrophobia.
