Default Thunderbolt polish??

I ran across this product at a local flea market last month, the demo seemed a little hard to believe. While researching the product online before buying it I ran across this ebay listing. Can anyone vouch for this product?, The demonstration part of the listing seems credible as I experienced the same smudge mark and swirl mark removal demonstration. I spoke with the ebay user who made the listing, also a fellowbike owner and needless to say I am now very uneasy about the product. Any help or opinions on the product would be great. I cant help but feel uneasy after seeing how this guy got robbed & the pictures he showed me of his tank after using the product as instructed.

The ebay listing turned up #2 on google.

The ebay listing:

Just based on the website alone.......they basically just say what the product is..a spray on polish sealant. They do not tell you why. Is it a swirl remover using oil as a filler? Does it contain acrylics or polymers or carnuba?
Too many unanswered questions.
There are lots of high quality products out there but there are not any spray on miracles.

Default RE: Thunderbolt polish??

Let me try to answer some of your questions about Thunderbolt Polish. It has been ranked the #1 auto/motorcycle polish on the market for three years in a row by, American Iron,Hot Rods and Harleys and Easy Rider Magazine,two TV spots done by OCC and two TV spots done by the Discovery Channel. Thunderbolt Polish is a polymer based product,no alcohol,no silicone,no amonia . Spay on,wipe off and you can not put a finger print on the surface unless you have something already on your hands. There is no way possible, Under GOD's SUN , That Thunderbolt Polish damaged the painted surface on the pictured bike or any other bike on this planet !! This is 2008 and the corporate office has not heard a word concerning the damage to this bike. There is a former employee of Thunderbolt Polish that has created a knock-off of Thunderbolt Polish and has left behind some very dissatisfied consumers . If you ever have doubt about what you are about to purchase, please call the Thunderbolt Polish Corporate office in St. Louis Mo. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have about Thunderbolt Polish. Best Regards, And be Safe.
