    This thread is an interesting read... also interesting is the post count by one member and the fact they've never returned and replied...

        Xzlion Demo

        I just had someone do a demo at my shop with Xzilon. We washed the car and chamoised it until the paint was dry and there were no water marks. Then with thier application mitt they opened the canister (which only last for 2 weeks after you open it) and applied the product to the surface of the vehicle. It is also applied to headlights and the black plastics (it will not stain it like regular waxes). After they put the product on they wiped it off and you have to let it sit for 45 minutes so it can bond to the surface of the vehicle. At another demo they actually took black spray paint and sprayed it on the car (after the car was treated with Xzilon) and you were able to wipe the spray paint right off. Now I didn't see that demo myself but someone I know saw it and it blew thier mind. The only thing I don't look forward to is getting the car prepped for treatment becuase you have to make sure there are no marks on the car otherwise they are sealed and you cant really buff it out unless you use a wax with a grit in it.

        If you want more info email me at any time.

        I just can't understand how the product can be warrentied for 5 years or more.

          These protection packages have nothing to do with the products themselves. You're buying a warranty against stains and rust. The fact they rub a bit of magic goo over the car has nothing to do with the cost or the program.

          More later..

            I just can't understand how the product can be warrentied for 5 years or more.
            I am extremely wary of demos. I happen to be friends with a Justice Bros. distributor and a Wynns distributor. They have multiple competing products, the most popular ones being their radiator stop leak and their oil treatments. I've seen both of their stop leaks in action and can say they both work, as do countless other products. And I've seen both of their oil treatment demos. It's the same demo, but gives different results. In the JB demo, normal name brand oil is put in a small tray and a metal dowel is spun at high rpms and the demonstator uses a lever to apply pressure on the dowel. In just about a minute it starts smoking, then screeching and then locks up. Very impressive. Then they change to a new dowel, add a little of the JB product and Sampson couldn't make it smoke, screech or lock up. I"ve also seen him put Wynn's oil treatment in and the fireworks is back. Proof positive that JB is superior protection, right? Well, my Wynns distributor does the same demo except his Wynns oil treatment does wonderfully and the name brand oil with and without the JB oil treatment smokes, screeches and locks up! How can this be? It's a trick. The both use salt with their product and it will never lock up during a demo. However, the salt is highly corrosive and would destroy engine parts in the matter of a few days or less. If that was not the case, then everyone would use salt too.

            And I have another issue with the person who spoke so highly of this dealer added product. Not to be the grammar/spelling police, but I don't want anyone near my car that doesn't know the difference between breaks and brakes.

              Re: Xzilon Molecular Adhesion?

              please speak intelligently when you try to make claims regarding a product. There is on no silicon is this protectant. prior to coming on the market all protectants currently being sold had either a silcon or ****** base to them....xzilon has neither. The active ingredinent is solvent based. this particular product is for real. All and i repeat all of the "wax' based products break kdown between 105 and 140 degrees. This information is according to u.s. testing labs. Now there is nothing wrong with waxing your car..........if you dont mind doing it 10-20 times a year. Just remember whose website this. the fact that they feel the need to defend themself tells you what you need to know. l dont thing the xzilon website is besieged by questions from the "wax" peaople.

                I mean, seriously, does anyone have pics of this product doing its thing?

                I guess the 5 year warranty is kind of cool if there is no cost of upkeep.

                  Re: Xzilon Molecular Adhesion?

                  I know of this product, and it works very well. I worked at a dealership that offered the product as well, and I was the one who applied it to the car. I applied it to my own car and I found that it did not get as dirty as it has when I did not have the paint protection on it. The system also comes with Mink oil to apply to leather (if you have that option) as well as carpet protector for stains inside. I have seen that other have stated that you have to apply other coats down the line, this is not true. The one application protects the paint for five (5) years for newer cars and about three (3) for older, pending paint condition. The additional applications the dealer tells you about is most likely for their own gain.

                    If you believe that this product lasts for 5 years without a re-application let me send you information on a bridge I have for sale in Brooklyn, New York.

                      It doesn't matter what they apply as long as it has a polymer type base loaded with silicone..

                      The offer last week from my Nissan dealer was a job costing $1150.00 OMG..

                      I did read the LONG contract and it is full of OPT OUTS for the company...most of all it IS a insurance contract that has NOTHING to do with the material applied.

                      In order to claim a damage you have to jump through many hoops. Miss one step in the claims procedure and you,my friend, are SOL...lol

                        Re: Xzilon Molecular Adhesion?

                        Hey Y'all.

                        I have been Detailing for 25+ years now & I too am skeptical of anything that is better than good old elbow grease, BUT as I get older I still try new products & have changed up procedures & some products.

                        I will say I have a new found respect for Maguires NXT 2.0 paste wax .I love that stuff. Very nice on Water bourne paints where the old skool chit is near to impossible to use.

                        Any way I just had to clean a interior on a '05 CTS that has the Xzilon on it , it was easy to wash & the bugs, brake dust , road grime & tar washed right off.

                        I do believe it is @ the end of its life some spots will bead water a little better than others & all the top surfaces are flat {water bead}.

                        I did notice that the car seems to be 2 different colors like the outside has a "yellowish tint" verses the door jambs.

                        It's that pearled white.

                        The interior was a bit of a mess ,The drivers seat was covered in black residue from body sweat & the carpet had some dirt.

                        Now the owner is new {just bought it used} so I wonder if the prior owner thought that they did not have to wash it because of the treatment.

                        It seemed to have a compost pile in the trunk Jamb & under the hood {LOL!}

                        There is also afe a few spots on the front seats that has taken off the finish of the leather , & a dent on the L/R~ 1/4 panel I wonder if the warranty is transferable?

                        I Personally would like to see it applied to 1/2 a car & see what it does over the years {like that new finish commercial] Remember that one?

                        I do believe in new technology & there are a lot of products that these young whipper snappers have taken for granted {oh I kill me sometimes}

                        But I have to see it for myself to believe & endorse.

                        On a side note I too had the Justice Bros. oil treatment display done for me & the way it was explained to mme was it was a bottle of "OH CHIT ! I need to get home @ any cost" .

                        And yes I relixe this thread is almost 2 years with out a post.

                            You're not the only one noticing this. Not to mention it's an old thread recently resurrected.

                            We'll be keeping an eye on this one to make sure it doesn't turn ugly - like it almost did a couple of years back.

                              Not to mention that it is someone's first post after joining in 2008....

                              I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

                              I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
                              Remove swirls my friends.
