Has anyone used this product pls?
It's supposed to be painted on to the duco to provide a protective film as an anti scratching solution.
Once back to base it apparently strips off easily with pressurised water.
Sounds a good solution to polishing out the scratches as per my last trip.
Cheers.
John.

Hi
John,
I use
Autoskin
Easy to apply. 1l does 2 cars easily. Washes off in the carwash. Any hard to remove stuff comes off easily with Metho.
Cheers
Peter

For some strange reason the Autoskin link doesn't work so here's the address:
www.autoskin.com.au
Cheers

Yes it does but this all comes off when you hose it down. Not an issue really.

John
I've used it frequently and it really does the job, apply 2 coats with paint roller allowing about 30min between coats at least 2 days before trip. Do not get it on plastic or rubber extremely hard to remove from them. I just apply to sidepanel and guards on vehicle. After trip hose vehicle down and it will peel off.

I've used when its been raining and at speed and the effect is weird. When it's applied it dries clear though it has an '
orange peel' appearance but when its really wet it turns white and when you are driving it bubbles, and you have these large bubbles moving about on the side panels. I've never had it come off on these conditions even in heavy rain ,but I would have been travelling no faster than 80-90km/h. The only other thing is that it attracts dust like a magnet.
Cheers

Thinking of applying some to my side panels just before the
Cape York trip, but can someone please advise if or how it handles river crossings (planning to do the OTL)

I'm not sure but if it is allowed to dry out between crossings Ithink it should be ok, I first saw it used on Range Rover on a very wet weekend down Sth WA, we had rain and numerous creek crossings and it held up.
