I like how it hardens up to a shell, easier to wash now. That matte paint would absorb everything....grease, mud, dirt, etc...

This feels like that stuff will just wipe off like on a normal clear coated vehicle. Read up on it and it looks like it can be cut and buffed for a deeper shine.

Only thing I did was wash the truck with purple power and a green scotch bright pad then dawn dish soap before putting it on. So still have many of the chips, uneven paint under it.

But you can't feel any of them, to the touch it feels like a clear coat. Comes off with mineral spirits I think so have to be mindful when fueling it up. But for $12 it will get me through until after winter.

Had the serp belt jump off last weekend under a hard pull and a/c on. Installed a new gates tensioner and a 1/2" smaller belt this morning. Under hard accel no a/c the belt squealed pretty bad. Then kept on squealing under light accel. Swapped back to the belt recommended and it went away. Will keep smaller one for emergency change. Hoping the tensioner was the issue, less than 1k miles on tensioner from vintage air but it had a lot of play in it for some reason.

The gates ones has no play and does not move near as much when reved. Will see how it does with ac on and a hard pull. If nothing else will just have to stop doing hard pulls with the ac running. Havent had any issues while the ac is off and running it hard.
