I haven't used their refinishing products, but have used countless others. I have never had a problem with any of their products. They sometimes can be a little pricey on things, but worth the money spent. I hope this helps out.

I have used the clear.It has held up on the grill of my Marmon,lots of little square holes and a pain to polish.It seamed to take a little of the shine away.It still has a high polish on it.

smokekiki - do you have any pics of the "Marmon" with the finish applied? thanks.

I don't have a way to post them myself.You realy can't tell in the picture.If I didn,t tell you it was there almost knowbody could tell. On the suburban I have the last owner painted the grill surround,I am going to polish it.I probably won,t use the clear only because it is a realitivly small area and I like to polish and clean my trucks.Once You have it polished it's easy to keep it that way.If I didn't want to polish I would use the crystal clear again.

I saw that stuff from POR a couple weeks ago at a swap meet.It looked good on the sample piece.I didn't see a price for it.
