I don't drive my Z everyday or in the rain. It's garaged.

I have this on the front of my F150. When it gets wet it looks foggy but goes back to normal after it dries out. Since my F150 has been through many heat cycles and has multiple coats, it survives the rain without issue. The key to easy removal is multiple heavy coats (at least two). After application through my experience, it needs to cure for 24 hours before getting wet. I've used this on other family member vehicles and had a peeling problem when it got wet too soon (rain just after application).

Since my Z doesn't have the heat cycles to help curing, I have to be careful when washing. I've had to touch up a few places so not a big deal.

I wash my F150 using a foam cannon with a pressure washer set to around 1100-1300 psi and rinse with the pressure washer as well for a no touch solution. The coating doesn't show any signs of peeling.

To remove the coating you would want it to be wet and looking foggy to make it easier.

I hope this helps and is not confusing.

Very helpful and not at all confusing, especially after watching the vid. How often, if at all, do you have to reapply to your F-150? Do you find that the product is durable enough to guard against typical "road rash" (i.e. small pebbles, rocks, etc.)?
