Reviewers from YouTube independent tests note it holds up significantly better against harsh detergents than standard spray sealants.Longevity: While the manufacturer claims up to 12 months of protection, real-world detailing forums like r/AutoDetailing on Reddit suggest a realistic durability expectation of 3 to 6 months depending on the climate and washing habits.
