I dropped my bike off at the detailer's yesterday afternoon. He is very busy, but the bike should be ready for pick up on Friday. I went with the lifetime coating (five coats I believe) versus the five years (two coats), it was only a few hundred more. I will post pics after I get it back, I can't wait to see it done!

I had no idea that a coating could be so substantial that you could get a lifetime out of it
I did a sealant about 6 months ago and the bags and side panels already need correcting again
if i put a lifetime coat on a bike i think i'd have a microfiber riding suit made to go with it

I believe you are correct. No one can guarantee a coating that never gets scratched or swirled. My bike will have five coats, so longevity shouldnt be a problem.

Yep, it is. But he has been doing it for years, and I couldnt find a negative review of his work online, so I am putting some trust in his work, and on the results. I shall see tomorrow!
I have a question about the ech2o. The bottle says mix a 1:10 or 1:15 ratio to water. If I have a 24 oz. spray bottle, how much product do you use? A couple cap fulls? I wasnt sure if their ratio refers to ounces or not. I plan to mix it with distilled water.
