Default F11 Topcoat

I keep seeing this F11 Topcoat product advertised on FB. Supposed to be much better and longer lasting than wax. Anyone tried it? Pretty expensive....worth it?

Was going to give it a shot but they wanted $25 to ship a 16oz bottle. Must have chartered a jet to bring it to me.

Love it. Never has my bike stayed so clean. Suggestion is do not get it on the floor. Will be slippery.

It's pricey but a little goes a long way. I was impressed on how easy bugs and grime wash off once treated.My bike sits in garage uncovered and is practically dust free.

My friend bought some and talked me into it....

He LOVES it....!!!

I tried it on an older, very clean vehicle. I didn't want to go straight to my bikes or nice car.. I gave my bottle to my fiend.... he can keep it... I'm not impressedl...

I'll stick to my wash/clay bar/polish/ seal (w/RejeX)... regimen...

I think there are far better options out there, F11 seems to be a result of a good social media marketing blast

I'm sure it works well but their stance on never washing the paint again with a traditional car wash is a no-go for me.

There is probably a cheaper alternative out there considering everything gets copied for a discount price. I am interested to hear if anyone has a comparable product

I have every cleaning product I can think of, Mcquire`s, mothers, neverdull, quick glo,turtle wax, 3M filling glaze(pro use) & on & on.

Of all the cleaners F11 is by far the easiest & best product I've used, it will bring the paint to life - its not a magic coating but.... goes on & comes off easy - lasts for a long time & basically creates a water proof barrier that after a rain leaves no water spots.

A group of us were on the BRP & in certain areas the bugs & bees (we call em bumble bees) were a PITA, my windshield was a bugs war zone - rode for hours with guts drying on there & the removal of those sticky hardened bastards was easy as could be.

It has multiple uses on multiple surfaces & just for the ease of cleaning my windshield that day was worth it - ask for it as a gift.

BTW - Ive tried pledge & other home cleaners & yes they do a good job but the waxy build up after time sucks & seems to show in different lighting & on a hot sunny day leaves a haze that`ll have you buffing while driving.

Its a good product - pricey....yes, but any thing good nowadays is pricey!
