Submitted by Sprocketeer a Cross Country Rider from Astoria, Queens, NYC
Date Reviewed: July 6, 2007
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Purchased At:Seo Cycle, Minami-Funabashi, Chiba, Japan
Strengths:Lives up to the name "Pro Detailer."
An entirely clear finish, much better than other polishes I've used--including other Finish Line polishes.
Super slick, absolutely non-tacky, so a lot less dirt sticks whereever applied.
Good to get on your cables to keep them running smoothly and seal out corrosion.
Weaknesses:None really. It's good on anything.
Similar Products Used:Finish Line frame polish, Pedro's, pre-waxed car wipes--which I still use between big cleanings.
Bike Setup:Trek--great paint jobs on Trek bikes.
Bottom Line:This is good not only for prettying up your frame, but for protecting paint and components from contaminants which can cause corrosion.

The slickness of it also keeps the mud from accumulating on derailers and such if applied to your components.

Nicely cleans and conditions saddle leather, and protects it well enough for riding through the most extreme conditions.

I typically put a double coat on the bottom of my down tube and on the rear derailer to keep sticky mud, salt, ice, etc . . . from sticking to the bike--which can cause not only corrossion but really adds up in terms of weight and can slow down your drivechain.

BOTTOM LINE: This is good stuff for sealing out water and dust from not only your frame's paint job, but your components pivot points, as well as providing a nice protective and slick layer to derailer and brake cables--so they last longer and perform better.

Also good stuff to get on your pedals to prevent getting them clogged with dirt or even snow without being too slick--as using teflon lube would result in.

Excellent on my prize leather saddle as well--which no longer gets water logged when riding in a hard rain.
