Looks like I'm vindicated. Good news for RUPES and RUPES fans.

As if Mike Phillips ever needs vindication!

So 808 is similar to (application wise) UPGP, Crystal Seal, spray sealants like that? Or something more along the lines of V7 or Wolfgang Spritz? Also whats the longevity, i know its not an exact science, and you said it held up well for Colorado winters, can we expect 2-4 months range for a Daily Driver thats maintained but often sees the road of Los Angeles a lot.

There are two tested application methods.

One is on a dry car. This would a mist and wipe type of product with a very light final buff needed to wipe away any residue. Usage is very similar to a detail spray, only easier.

The second, and my favorite, is as a drying aid. Mist onto a wet surface and towel dry. Come back at the end and lightly buff entire vehicle to a high-gloss shine.

The components in this product are more similar to a long-lasting semi-permanent coating (in fact the word permanent is used on the European/non-US versions, or at least it was).

P808 will leave a slick surface which hardens overnight (become even slicker) and create very intense water beading. Durability is in the 2-4 month range regardless of application method and application is near fool proof.

Also, M101 is a great shampoo. The most important aspect of any car wash soap for me is rinse ability. I dislike soaps that require frequent rinsing in order to avoid a film built that creates a sticky, non-waterbeading surface. I like a soap, that even I allow to sit too long, will blast off cleanly and leave the surface beading water similar to before washing.

With M101, I have literally washed the entire car without rinsing and blasted off the residue completely. In other words, it's fool proof (like the BigFoot Orbital Polishing System).. in even more other words, its Todd-proof and that goes a long way

It the spray sealant good to go right after polishing with Keramik, Diamond, or UHS? Do we need to do some sort of alcohol wipe?

Shouldn't need to do one as its in the same product family. Synergy as Mike Phillips would say.

What's the dilution ratio for M101 Shampoo?

That would be great!

I'd be interested to know the hydrophobic properties of the P808 spray sealant. Wonder if any better than the CarPro Reload I'm currently using...

The products sound great, I just ordered a few to try out.

Does the M707 Carnauba High Gloss Protective Shampoo have similar rinse ability to the M101?
