Has anyone ever tried Silica based polish?

I have just had a go on two of my bikes petrol tanks, its a multi stage process with a cleaning agent first then the polish then a curer. I used a polish called Gyeon Q2 CanCoat, its expensive but you only use a very small amount so it goes a long way - https://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/collections/silica-based-coatings/products/gyeon-q2-cancoat

Have to say in over 45 years of polishing the life out of bikes and cars it is the most impressive polish I have ever come acrossj it imparts a really deep wet look shine and is very easy to apply and polish. On the Gold Wing it has actually made the colour look deeper.

I cant get good photo's on my crappy phone but I am really pleased with the results -

Hopefully its protective qualities will be just as good as its finish but at present I would definitely recommend it, if the weather clears I am going to have a go on my car.

Looks great - Is the cleaning agent and curer in the kit?

heli_madken:
I bought them separately -

Q2M Cure - https://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/collections/gyeon/products/gyeon-q2m-cure

It is expensive as I said but at the moment I think its worth every penny

Wow! Can't justify 60 squid unfortunitely

When I worked for Mercedes dealer they sold this type of product as a paint protection pack starting at around £350 depending on the size of the vehicle. Surprisingly it did not resist tree sap very well. I've seen holes in car roofs that went through the factory transit wax, paintwork & metal caused by Seagull Droppings! It was a regular problem with cars stood in coast storage fields Audis in particular.
