    No, no and no! I've tried it, it started peeling off in less then a month, jet wash destroys them completely, and then it was pain in the ... to remove them, i wouldn't recommend it.

        Used it loads times. I never jetwashed, but did my front grill amongst other things, and it never came off. A few stone chips as per usual

        If you use it on wheels, then really must use the clear topcoat, as a fixative. You can get Matt clear coat too

        For the price, a good product

        Even used a fair bit on my Golf.

            Applied over 4 years ago on front and side chrome and starting too look a little ratty now, stone chips and such. Need to remove and reapply it this summer. Never peeled with jet washes in all that time.

              From what I've read, it works pretty well but you do need to add quite a few layers to get a decent thick coat. If you only use 1-2 layers, it goes really shitty and is difficult to remove.

              One thing to note, if you use the clear topcoat, it becomes permanent IIRC. If you don't use it then it will peel off and the thicker the coat the easier to peel it is.

                  I've only heard good things

                  But with any change you just adapt the way you would have done things on the paintwork. If you jet wash the car, don't apply loads of pressure/use flat on to the covered area's - much the same as I do with my car and where the decals are.
