After one year & 20,000 miles it is working to a certain degree. The front end has some very minor stone chips.(I expected this regardless of the claims they made)
Bird poo comes off during a regular wash without leaving any marks as well so I would say it's a winner

I did end up applying coat of cleaner polish & wax early last fall as a just to be sure for the winter months.
The pollen was about a 6/10 of the normal fall out this year thanks to the tons of rain knocking it off the pines before it really had a chance to blow our way.
most years any white vehicles
What did land on the van either blew away or easily washed off.

I also use Pledge(Yes Pledge) furniture polish to remove the bugs off the front & side mirrors as they still stick really well.
You spray it on and let it sit for a minute then hit it again and wipe clean.
I have used this trick for many years on my motorcycles too.

Honda actually markets it as S10 cleaner for 3x the price & it has a slight difference in texture but still works all the same.

I'm happy with the results so far.

Still holding on well several years in. No issues. Will probably get both cars re-done this winter or early spring 2020.
