I have to agree. I've used POR-15 on several cars now, and the only problem I've noticed is when I don't clean off the loose, scaly stuff. I even had part of my POR-15 coated floorpan soaking in water (from the yet to be fixed leak) and it still looks fine. Time will tell if this will last, but so far, I'm satisfied with the results I've had with POR-15.
