I applied Prima Banana Gloss to my MPS for the first time today. Things I wanted to test were:
1. Application in full sun on hot panels.
2. Removal after long periods in full sun on hot panels.
3. Concealing paint defects and alterations to the paint finish.
4. How long it took to apply to and remove to a complete vehicle.
Application In Full Sun On Hot Panels
When applying in this situation the first thing I noticed is BG hazes extremely quickly. The only problem with this, is it means you are using more product to get full coverage on the panel as you don't have as much time to spread it.
There is absolutely no problem with the application and the bottle does exactly what it says. If the user has no option but to apply in full sun, then go for it but in the interest of preserving your bottle of product I would apply in the shade if you have it.
Removal After Long Periods In Full Sun On Hot Panels
During test application I left a section of BG on for a total of 7 minutes in full sun before buffing off. The car was also parked half in the shade to see if buffing off was any easier on the cool panels.
Conclusion is there was absolutely no difference whatsoever.
Concealing Paint Defects And Alterations To The Paint Finish
For this test I taped the bonnet down the centre and applied to one side. Excuse the stone chips. Respray coming soon.
Unfortunately my poor photography couldn't capture any swirls before or after. Swirls were decreased by a significant level but not removed completely (almost). I would say the swirls in my paint are average so I was quite pleased with this level of concealing.
What was very noticable and I did manage to capture to a certain degree was a definate change in colour shade.
How Long It Took To Apply And Remove To A Complete Vehicle
Apply: 7 minutes
Remove: 5 mins
Durability is only 6-8 weeks. Who cares. I'll be using the product regularly.
