OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke?

Only a complete idiot would claim a product doesn’t work without ever trying it.

I don’t know if it does work, but I have no reason to doubt those who have tried it and say it does. As far as I know, nobody who has tried it has found it doesn’t work.

What holds me back is I have concerns as to how to remove it afterwards if I do not like it. I don't want to end up needing to replace tube sockets, power receptacles etc.

You do realize of course you are talking about mapman, mijostyn, georgehifi, and at least a dozen other highly "respected" members?

It wipes off with ordinary alcohol.

Then don’t put it places it can’t be removed until you are sure. Try on spades, bananas, where it is easily removed. Which once you hear it I doubt you will. But that is always the safest way to go about it.

@theaudiotweak , jealousy will get you no where.

Some of us have the audacity to stand up to this BS. I'm not doing this for my own gratification although I have to admit it is fun tweaking these people. I am doing it to save people who are not as learned about these things from wasting their hard earned money on garbage.

Quotes are "key"

BS, your arrogance is spilling all over the keyboard. No direct experience with the product. Opinion based on nothing. Is it too expensive for you? Would you say the same if it was 6 bucks a bottle? Judging by the ones that have actually used it, the product is hardly garbage. You are actually making yourself look quite foolish.
