Anyone use this or know anything about it?

Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

Sounds questionable. Assuming it refreshes the look, it may ne good for a quick polish before a sale. If it were the roof of the house I planned on staying in for a while, I would install new roofing.
Edit:
This is just a coating sprayed over top, no granular replacement. The classy version of tarps. If it works, I suspect it is better to install on a schedule to protect the shingles then to spray on a roof that already hurting.

Guy across the street from us got it done. All I know is that it was looking dirty from where the water runs down leaving a darker stain. Looks much better now. Cleaned up nicely. Will it last longer? Who knows.
Ours is about 18 years old. 50 year shingles. If I was convinced it was legit, I'd do it.

There was just a segment on Dragons den about this or similar product. I believe it was roughly 2 grand for standard home, depending on size of course...The one on the show said they will pay for new shingles if you re-apply according to their schedule(Forget how many years) and your shingles fail.
Random prices I saw were about 10% of the price of a re-roof with shingles. Does it extend the life by years? I have serious doubts (especially if only applied late in life).

I think have to reapply every 5 years.
This came up when I was told about my leaking flat roof. I went looking for solutions and there’s a treatment for flat roofs and one for shingles too. Everything I read suggested this is a bandaid just like the silicone spray treatments for flat roofs.
Slap a metal roof on and be done with it forever.
Many metal roofs have long life for the panels but technically need the fasteners replaced every decade or so. That's an expensive job and rarely done. Standing seam doesn't need that treatment but at 4x shingle price, outside of most budgets.
