I have heard mixed feelings about this product on the Car-Chem discussion groups but personally, I like it. The issue raised seems to be around its difficulty of application. I have applied it to my already polished and ceramic sealed glass and also to my neighbour’s grotty BMW as a test subject and have had no problems. My suggestion is to polish and then clean the glass to get the best possible foundation before applying it out of the sun. You want to have time to buff before it evaporates. Like most other Car-Chem products it seems to be water-based as it doesn’t give off the solvent fumes like its competitors. I’m not sure what Car-Chem suggests but I like to apply perhaps once every couple of months. As expected, once applied, the rain instantly beads and zips off.
I would like to see a smaller bottle offered. Because it needs applying so infrequently I think a 250ml spray bottle would be perfect and allow people to add it to their basket without such a hike in total basket cost. Just a thought.

Car-Chem seems to make a bewildering array of spray-on sealant products but my vote goes to Lockdown. Firstly, a little goes a long way on the surface and it does seem to last a fair amount of time. I wouldn’t expect 12 months, but personally, I would be happy with any spray-on product that has to only be applied once every 3 months. I use it in good weather on my ceramic coated car and I have also tried it on my neighbour’s grotty unloved BMW just to see how it performs. ( I know, I have an issue) The product itself is water-based so has a nice clean scent rather than having harsh fumes. It goes on and buffs off easily on both ceramic coated and virgin, unpolished paintwork. If time/my wife allows, I also use it on my alloys. It leaves a clear/cold finish and a tight water beading effect rather than the sheeting seen from Hydo-Coat. I suppose the best praise I can give it is that I initially bought it as a 100ml trial bottle. Since then I have ordered a larger bottle. It is my go-to detailer/protectant for good weather use.
