So I tried NuraFix on a few light scratches and honestly the shine improvement was pretty good. But I’m wondering about that whole hydrophobic claim — does the water beading actually stick around for a while or does it fade after the first wash? Just curious if anyone else noticed that.

Hydrophobic stuff usually fades faster than they claim in my experience. I’d be surprised if it lasts past a couple washes.

I’d take the hydrophobic claim with a grain of salt. Most sprays like that lose the water beading pretty quick once you hit them with soap a few times.

I used it a few times and honestly I wasn’t really paying attention to the water beading part. The shine looked fine but I wouldn’t count on the hydrophobic stuff sticking around for long. Most of these sprays are just good for a quick visual fix and then you forget about it.

Mine still beads up pretty well after six or seven washes. Not as strong as day one but it didn’t disappear either.

Honestly, I just use it for the shine and don’t pay much attention to the hydrophobic part. The water beading is a nice bonus on the first day but I didn’t buy it expecting that to last. It looks good enough after a wash to keep using it.

I haven’t used NuraFix long enough to say for sure, but mine still beads water after about four washes so far. It’s not as dramatic as the first day but it hasn’t completely vanished either. I’m curious how it holds up through winter weather though.

I haven’t tested mine long enough to be sure, but it still beads water after a few washes. The shine part is what I care about more anyway.

I’d push back on that a little. I’ve had mine hold up through maybe eight or nine washes now and it still beads water noticeably. Not as tight as day one, but definitely still there and not just marketing fluff.

Mine still beads after maybe five or six washes. It’s not as sharp as the first spray but it didn’t just vanish. The shine is what keeps me using it anyway, the water thing is just a bonus.

I used it on a couple of scuffs and honestly the shine is the main thing I notice too. The water beading is there but I don’t really check it closely after the first week. Works fine for what it is.

I kind of doubt the hydrophobic part lasts that long based on what I’ve seen in other products. Seems like more of a marketing gimmick to me.

I mostly got it for the scratches too, but I did notice the water beading stays decent for a while. It definitely fades a bit after a few washes, but it doesn’t just disappear completely right away. Good enough for what it is.

I haven’t really tested the hydrophobic part much, I just wanted the scratches gone. The shine is still there after a few weeks so I’m not complaining.

I’d actually say the hydrophobic part holds up longer than I expected. I’ve washed my car maybe four times since applying it and the water still beads up pretty well, not perfect but definitely not gone. I didn’t buy it for that though, I just wanted the scratches less visible and the shine is what surprised me most.

I think mine lasted a decent amount of time, maybe not as strong as when I first put it on but I didn’t really expect it to be permanent.

I think it holds up fine honestly. I didn’t really pay close attention to the water beading but it’s still there after a few weeks for me. Maybe not as strong as day one but it’s not like I check it every time. I’d probably just reapply it when I do the scratches again anyway.

I get the skepticism honestly, but I think the hydrophobic part is actually okay for what it is. Maybe it helps that I don’t wash my car super often so it’s not getting stripped right away. Not totally sure how long it really lasts though.

I’ve had mine on for about a month and the water still beads up when I rinse it, so it’s not just a one-wash thing in my experience. I don’t wash my car super often though, so maybe that helps. I was pleasantly surprised honestly.

Good to hear it’s not just a one-wash thing for most people. I’ll stop overthinking it and just enjoy the shine.
