Well I just read all 55 pages that was started on 9-20-2017... So much great information! I do have a few questions
1. Is the Kamikaze Zipang Coat that much better than the Miyabi/ISM combo? I know Zipang is rated as a 5 year coating but what about looks?
2. Someone mentioned that the OverCoat V3 isn`t as good as V1 and V2. Should I still stick with it or can I use something like Polish Angel Cosmic Spritz instead?
3. Of all of the coatings that you have tried what is your most favorite combo?
4. What glass coating do you like the best.
5. What are you using as a decon wash on a coating? Would Gyeon Restart work?
6. With the Kamikaze coating do you need to throw the towels away after use?
Thanks for the help!
Pick up a coating. I`ve only used 2, c.quartz and Nv EVO.
EVO in my opinion is easier to use. That said i doubt i would buy it again, c.quartz is so much cheaper. I applied it in May - c.quartz - and its still working fine.
Pickup up a 10ml bottle and tape off your bonnet or something. Its not difficult to use. I use regular microfiber applicators however. I can`t stand the blocks.
I would only use a wax if i have a garaged car. There is zero contest between a coating and wax for a daily driver. You will never be happy with a wax. Its junk. You will be chasing your tail. I can literally still "see" the coating on my car after mths outside. A wax is not like that at all IME it as no legs so to speak.
disclaimer: i jumped into coatings and machine polishing after only 2 years into detailing. Polishing is very important of course. My car looks clean nearly 90 percent of the time. Just because the panels are like mirrors. Dark colors rock lol My favorite polishing pad is lake country`s SDO orange. Great pad.
One thing i really don`t like about the "industry" is all the different pads. Shout out to DMX lol
