Default Lizard Skin vs. Wurth SKS

What is the difference?

From my research, these are two of the better ones so far, but which is the BEST?

I'd like a very durable finish for the underside of my car that is still body color. Is that still possible with either of these?

Thanks
John

I haven't used Lizard Skin, but I've looked at a few cars that have used it in the interior. To me, it appears very porous, and if used under the car, it would be full of dust, dirt and road grime that you'd never get cleaned back out.

That's my observation. I'd be interested in hearing from people that have used it under their cars.

We've used lzard skin on a few projects and I wouldn't use it under the car
I don't think it would clean up well - We went with a 3m body schultz instead - much better looking too. The lizard skin is caulky looking also

We use a product called Raptor Coating, it is a bedliner material and works great. It is very cost effective way. The kit includes a spray gun and is enough to do the bottom of the car. We have started doing the inside of the cars as well then put down the insulation material. It seems to work real well.

I'm getting ready to order the Wurth SKS, Frank ( Prodigy) recomends it. I think its a much smoother finish then raptor or Lizard Skin.

We like the fact it is not smooth but creates a nice even texture. It allows us to detail the bottom of a car but not spend too much time or a client's money on it. It is great for a driver and you can tint it too.

Thanks
Mike
