Try 22ple HPC; I could probably tape an applicator to my cats paw, let him run around on the paint, come back 20 minutes later and buff off with no issues. Stuff actually hazes a bit when time to buff off. 15 minute working time, I applied to the entire side of a Ford Transit Extended van, came back and buffed off with no issues. Just don`t use the 22ple applicator, that thing is junk.
 
I`ve been following along since the start, and I appreciate your recommendations.

At some point, we will get a larger / newer vehicle for the wife. No doubt, it will be polished and coated. I`d do it to the wife`s car now but paint on that is flaking clearcoat in places and almost there in others.

I`ve been doing some research and reading along to find a solid choice... mainly for sheer ease of maintenance and durability

Still not decided. sounds like this 22ple is probably up my alley in terms of ease of application etc. More reading to do!

I`ve been kinda keeping up all along but wondered if there was a summation post somewhere in the last several pages on cost and longevity along with ease of application. I have a friend who is wanting his white C6 coated this spring. I have used Cquartz products on my own but was leaning toward 22ple HPC for his or sticking with Cquartz since thats what I`m familiar with. Anything newer and better?
Thanks for Keeping this one going.

Tough call. The application and removal process varies but in most cases it is the same. If you are happy with cquartz stick with that. They also released their coating topper Gliss if you wish to experiment with that. CarPro will be releasing and updated formula to UK in the next few weeks.

If you have the desire to try something new, well then give something else a try. There is no shortage of coatings lol.

First coat of HPC went on a couple hours ago (24hrs after Primer app). Thanks to you I used CarPro block with the suede clothes. I guess the Gyeon Primer may have something to do with it, but it hazed much quicker than I expected based on everything I have read. Still a breeze compared to anything else I have used just different feel first few passes.
 
Thank you BudgetPlan1 and The Guz...

Noticed Optimum Gloss coat missing from the list. Intentional or just been overlooked as a coating?
 
Dunno why it never `spoke` to me...maybe it`s the syringe thing which reminded me of Wolfgang Uber Ceramic, my first coating which in the end was OK but didn`t make it through a NE Ohio winter, even after all decon wash steps were implemented; IMO *way* over-priced as well.

Can get a 10cc syringe of Gloss Coat for $39 so maybe I`ll try it some time but just never read too much about it or hear it mentioned much. Since this is all for fun, a product has to pique my interest in some way...for whatever reason, Gloss Coat just never did that.
