Is the above address a store or just a supplier?

I live in East Hampton but work in Nassau/Suffolk.
It's a walk-in location. They cater to the auto body community. Worth calling them first though, they have weird hours.

I am another ex avalanche owner that was sold by this stuff when it made my plastic truck look better then when I ever owned it. I put it on everything black now and I have not found anything bad to say about it. It is a bit expensive but a little bit goes a long long way. I did my avalanche prob 6 times, my jeep 6 or so times, gave the can to my friends to use on their stuff and handed out quite a bit and I still have some left. I just reapply it every spring and fall I would say and the coating last about 6 months. I love how the water beads up on a fresh application. Also i just waip off excess from aint if i catch it but again, it has never effected the paint in a negitive way in my experience.

I just came across this thread.

I've been using this stuff for over a year with great results.

My flares were ready for the garbage, this stuff saved them.

I use it monthly....makes the flares look nice, then I use back to black in between.

I refer to it as Schizen Clean...if you see the can, you'd know why.

My dad uses this on his Avalanche religiously and has always offered to let me give it a go. Guess I may wind up taking that offer.

I want some of this stuff. Anyone know where to order it online? I don't think any auto parts stores near me have it.

I'm not trying to threadjack or anythnig, but Im curious how you went about installing that mesh to the inside of your grill? Is the write-up somewhere you followed?

thanks.

I picked some of this up off of eBay and got around to using it today. Looks good so far! Really hoping that it holds up as well as everyone says it does!

And I used a foam paintbrush to put it on. Like this:
