Default Anyone using TopCoat F11?

Just curious if anyone has tried this stuff, saw a link on my FB feed.

Pretty spendy stuff, anybody using it with good results?

My bike has been treated with top coat , the bugs are still a bitch to get off and the rain still leaves the bike filthy.
I can get the same results out of Lucas Slick Mist from auto zone for $9.99 a bottle. In my opinion, top coat is not worth the money.

I saw a customer in my sons shop that had it on both he and his wives bikes a few weeks ago. He was really bragging about it, his bike looked good. However once I looked into it and saw the price I honestly did not see any advantages to it over what I currently do to justify the big price.

Price is a relative thing. I use Zaino's. It seems pricey but you use about 1/2 oz to do entire bikes it the long run it is low cost. Lot of products out there that beat the heck out of wax and normal polish. It maybe worth a try.

I was looking at the F11 product for my Denim Black paint, it is a little pricey but if it protects better than what's out there it might be worth the money.

I watched a bunch of videos on it as I saw the same thing you did on Facebook. I ordered some yesterday. I figured I'd give it a try. They emailed me today and said they are slammed with orders. I'll let you know the results when I get it. I don't expect it for at least a month. They said 7-14 days before it even ships, but we'll see.

Be careful with these products.I manage a bodyshop, works well but can it be washed off. I have had a few cars come in with this and i refuse to work on them. You have to sand the clear off completely and it is not an easy job. If you get a scuff or heavy birdcrap it marks the clear. The products i have seen cannot be washed off. If it can be washed off go for it.

I've got a friend who ordered some, he was told the same thing....back ordered. It will be interesting to see if it works like they say. I'll let him test it out first, but if it works, I'm in

Be very careful what you put on that paint. I had one for years and there were a few times i regretted using a product on it.
