Did you get jet and lustre? Just wonder if their worth doing with Envy or should i stick with OC and PA?
I just got Jet, no Lustre and at this juncture, relatively impressed with it. I did use it over the EVO Coating on the vehicle I did on 01/16/2021 and although it`s only gone 1500 miles since then, it`s been through rain, snow and slush, rec`d no maintenance aside from getting rained on and still looks very good (self cleaning). Is it the Jet or the EVO coating under it? I dunno.
I`ve only had it on my daily driver for a week but it`s been raining every other day here since I washed car and applied Jet but that black car looks pretty darn good considering the up and down weather. It doesn`t have quite the visual pop as Cosmic or Overcoat (and here we go down `Subjective Street` w/ regards to appearance) but has a nice, deep look regardless.
I`m gonna give it a go on my daily driver for the foreseeable future, they claim 3 month longevity but suggest monthly applications, and see how it goes. It won`t replace Cosmic or High Gloss on our PPF & Coated cars where appearance (real or perceived) really matters to me and the `protection needs` are already addressed by the film & coating. Again, totally subjective judgement but it seemed to make the somewhat abused surface of my daily driver look `better` (not necessarily glossier or more reflective) but overall more smooth so dunno if it has any filling ability (I would suspect not).
I`m giving Overcoat a break this year (V3 leaves a bit of haze on our black car) until V4 is widely released; have seen some Instagram stuff from Kamikaze where V4 is in the works, both as a spray and a sealant-type product, but with them that could be a year away :lol:
While Jet is easy to apply w/ regards to no streaking or anything, it`s not as mindlessly entertaining as PA stuff is; it just doesn`t seem to `run as smooth` during application as OC or the PA stuff, nor does it spread as easily or seem to go as far with a small spritz in a towel as OC or PA. Doing my hood I actually resorted to spraying the panel to get enough on there to easily spread around half the panel.
I`ve heard that some YouTuber`s have had mixed results in their `testing` of Jet but I don`t pay much attention to that kinda stuff so is of no consequence to me, I`ll find out for myself. I really didn`t intend to try Jet on my cars but had most of a 250ml bottle left from the EVO coating experience so gave it a go last week after removing (rather easily) the Gyeon Wax from my hood, roof and trunk w/ Kleen Strip Prep All.
Worth noting that for our seasonal cars, I`m not using the PA stuff with any concern for longevity or durability which is something I`ve never really considered a strong suit of PA stuff; just looks, water behavior and entertainment/ease of use.
Perhaps the best way to sum up Jet for me at this point is that I tried it on a whim because it was on the shelf and I`ve been quite pleasantly surprised with it given the varying weather we`ve had this week.
