It's a sealant obviously, and it works well IF applied properly. I had it done on my wifes car, ideal for that kind of application - ie cars that don't get a lot of TLC. Just makes washing much easier, and looks good.

However, for us sad gits, it's generally not considered an ideal product - not because it does any harm, but the purists like polish and wax in fact they scorn the stuff. It also needs a conserver on it regularly, to maintain it, and it doesn't last as advertised. Oh, and don't buy it off ebay...

So in conclusion.. For sirs RS4? Probably much better applications out there.
RS4 B5. Where it all started.
RS6+ Never to be replaced.

I agree the purists like wax and polish, but I live in the real world and dont have time to wax my car with the hard stuff.

I have DiamondBrite on my RS4, and have used it on my last three cars with no problems at all. The conserver is a non foaming waxy solution that goes on the car every half a dozen washes or so and takes very little time to apply. You can buy direct from Jewelutra if you call them direct, and I know a very good mobile valet in Kent who can do the initail application.

I think most of the products these days are similar, but I have used this and find it works well, although you still have to get that bird lime off quickly.
