Yep, it has gone through 8 weekly washes, several raining days, and ~2 months of daily sun exposure in CA, Yet it is still holding up well. The coating is definitely there but the shine fade from wet looking to semi-wet.

I just re-apply 2 additional coats of Tuf Shine yesterday to refresh up the look and bam it turns from semi-wet to wet looking (like in the pictures again). To refresh the look, 1 additional coat is more than enough. I did 2 to ensure complete coverage. Before I did, I wanna test how durable this coating is, guess what? Meg APC diluted at 4:1 ratio did NOT remove the previous coating. It only dulls the look a little bit.
