5.0 out of 5 stars Can rusts in less than a year - UPDATED
UPDATE: I left my original review below though I've updated my overall rating to 5 stars. Everbrite reached out and is sending me a replacement product. Awesome product (which I knew) and awesome customer service.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I really like this product so this is a difficult review to write. The product itself is the best on the market to seal and keep the bright finish on many metals. I have used it on brass, copper and bronze for years and it protects the metal and keeps it finished the way you want it. However, it is essential not to brush or dip from the original container to avoid introducing contaminants and other particulates that could make their way to your work piece. I always pour what I intend to use into a smaller container to use it. I generally use a glass or stainless steel container depending on what I intend to dip and never pour anything back to the original container. I've found that for bright finish metals, it works best when the work piece is dipped. Then you can use a cut piece of newspaper to wick away excess as gravity draws it to a hanging drop at the bottom of a work piece.The only other issue I have experienced is iridescence (rainbowing on the surface of brightly finished material). This can often be mitigated with another coat.The reason for this review has nothing to do with the product or how it works. The container failed in my case. In about a year, rust spots developed on the inside of the container. The outside of the can was in perfect shape. The rust on the inside of the can ruined the product by turning it a pale shade of brown with bits of rust particulates. Disappointed for the price that the container failed in about a year and ruined what was left of the product. Especially since I am so careful about using it and sealing it back up to avoid the introduction of contaminants. Next time I may resort to pouring the contents in a glass container with a lid. What is odd is that I've used the larger size 16oz and even 32oz containers over the same period of time in the past, which also come in steel containers, and never had this issue.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Oura Ring Gen 3 Horizon Rose Gold!!
Oura customer service provides little to no advice on how to protect your ring and the reps know very little of the build material which is important when figuring out enamels and/or protective clear coats.To preface I have the Oura Ring Gen 3 Horizon Rose Gold, and I wear it on my left hand index finger (non-dominant hand)I took a chance on ProtectaClear and very happy I did! I did 4 applications/layers (Did not apply/dip whole ring) by brushing on the outer layer. I wore latex gloves and put the ring on my index finger and did circular motions with a small sponge applicator on the face and edges of the ring, but avoiding the inside so it doesn't effect the sensors.I have wore the Oura Ring for a few months with the ProtectaClear and I have not been cautious on protecting it from objects or grabbing items because I want to truly see how well it protects the ring. I also wear the O. Sleeve (expensive but necessary) and Ring Wrapper (I wear both) when I workout/lift because I know the bars will 100% scratch it. Outside of lifting I do not wear the protection sleeves.Also to note the O. Sleeve and Ring Wrapper work amazingly during workouts and the Oura Ring doesn't get damaged. I have put 255lbs benching, 50+Lbs dumbbells, 170lbs double D Row Handle Attachment, etc and no issues at all. So I highly recommend this combo!Also, the ProtectaClear doesn't do anything to the color or make it less/more glossy. Which was something I didn't know how the ProtectaClear would or wouldn't do. I don't know how this would protect on the Matte Black/Stealth but I would assume it would turn the Matte look to a glossy look. So I would be cautious to use this on Stealth.The only thing I don't know about with ProtectaClear on the Oura Ring is how often do I need to reapply. I've seen anything from 6 Months to 2 years. I'm leaning more towards 6 Months for reapplication since forums reported that for heavily used metallics using ProtectaClear should reapply every 6 Months to 12 Months.Overall, very happy with ProtectaClear on my Oura Ring and have truly put this ring and ProtectaClear through a lot of wear and tear (banging it against hard items, grabbing keys/metallic items, etc) with literally no scratches. Simple water and wipe down will shine it back to normal to get smudges off the ring.Hopefully this helped because there isn't a lot of information out there to help Oura Ring owners to protect their ring.
5.0 out of 5 stars Stop Polishing Your Copper sink!
We used ProtectaClear on our hammered copper kitchen sink. We were polishing it at least once per week to remove the tarnish because we like it to look bright and clean like a brand-new penny. It is a lengthy process to apply correctly but saves hours of polishing in the long run. There are 5-steps: polish, neutralize, clean, coat, and then cure. For copper kitchen sinks they recommend at least four coats with some drying time between coats. After the final coat, it takes about 4 days or more to completely cure. Luckily, we have a second smaller sink we used during the curing process. To speed curing, I put a heat gun to it a couple of times every day. The end result is very good with no more polishing required and the sink is maintaining that shiny penny brightness. We are very happy with the results. The application was easy with disposable foam brushes and the product has almost no odor. I gave it 4 stars for durability because the results are still out, but it still looks great after about a month of daily use. We are trying to be more gentle by not scrubbing heavy pans in the sink and drying the sink with a sponge and a towel after the dishes are done.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great protectant
I’ve used this in the past and it’s great stuff. Only thing about this particular size is that the bottle is very small and about half full.
5.0 out of 5 stars WORTH EVERY PENNY!
This product absolutely works! Always had high sensitivity to nickel, just thought I would have to give up and buy expensive jewelry. I love my new watch band but instantly started getting a reaction to the clasp. Dipped it in the solution, let it dry and did a couple more coats. Let it cure for 2 days while my skin could heal. Picture shows a week after wearing it with the solution applied. My skin continues to heal even while wearing the band. Will definitely buy more!
Very weak coat
Very weak coat. I got it to coat bijouterie since it oxidises very quickly on my skin causing allergy. Few pieces covered in at least 2 layers oxidised by the end of the day. I don’t know how many coats I would need to do to avoid this but I don’t have that much time.Also, it’s not very clear immediately that the solution will drip and leave a lot of drops on the piece unless you remove it constantly until drying.Another solution that dripped on the surface is impossible to remove, this one can be just scratched with the nail.Do not recommend.
Good Protector
Works well, goes on well, not lobby, can't tell it's on your jewelry!
Excellent produit.
Ce produit fait ce pourquoi il est conçu, protéger le métal. J’ai acheté le plus petit format pour protéger de l’oxydation, les composantes en métal des bijoux que je fabrique. Je le recommande vraiment.
Ease of use
Easy to use as the liquid is self leveling.
Not sure as I haven't used it yet.
I haven't tried this product yet but everyone I no said it's great stuff so I will see.
