I first used Ming shine approximately 5 yrs ago on a dark colored Ford Escape. I have sinced used their Ming shine on 5 additional vehicles. The paint plating makes the vehicles look great, the paint is silky smooth and the dirt washes away with little effort. I have also had opportunity to use the small dent repair again with fantastic results. I have not tried any other Ming services. I drop my vehicle off first thing in am and it's ready by early afternoon. The initial cost is a little pricy but product is good for seven years, and no additional waxing. Overall a great product for any dark colored vehicle.
