Since you are in to coatings maybe you are intrested to test out the ceramic wax Enigma? I have the car soap Enigma which leaves a great depth and gloss. They have a QD Enigma too that seems to be loaded with sio2 since it`s a little hard to dial in the amount of product you are useing. Their waxes overall is top notch and have my eyes on the Angelwax AG which is for silver colored paints. They have different color coded waxes and one they claims to bond and work in synergy on ceramic coatings named Fifth Element.
Their cleaning products is really great products. That is worth to look into.
Will be intresting to hear what you think about their polishes
For my personal vehicles that are all done in Kamikaze, I pretty much stick within that product family, hence the Infinity Wax:
I ventured outside of that place once with TAC Moonlight and it was *not* a pleasant experience. Have kinda settled on Kamikaze for protection, Gyeon (Bathe and Foam) to maintain. Mostly I use the Infinity Wax just for something to do once or twice a summer. I does add a nice dimension, kinda a `relaxed high gloss` but it`s probably not noticeable by anyone but me (likely cuz it`s all in my head as opposed to reality). I take a somewhat minimalist approach to our personal cars with regards to SiO2 stuff outside of the base protection package of Miyabi, ISM, Infinity Wax and Overcoat...it`s just a method that works extremely well for me...there might actually be something to product/mfg `synergy`.
I seem to lately be into trying different polishes/compounds (much cheaper than trying different coatings all the time), hence the AngelWax stuff. Kinda dig `niche` products that are currently outta the mainstream (Menzerna, Meguiars, 3D/HD, etc) although I do still have Megs 101, 205 and D300 for when all else fails or I`m not into experimentation at that moment.
There was quite a delay with the AngelWax order, took about a month to receive from Raindrops which unfortunately means it arrived at the start of my current `hiatus` from car care stuff; at the time I placed the order I had the intention to use it if arrived quickly enough...but it didn`t.
I did order some Polish Angel Cosmic Spritz to try on the Kamikaze-clad fleet van I did a bit ago, just to see how it plays with Kamikaze. Might need a backup as the Kamikaze is occasionally unavailable.
Have a few `fun` vehicles lined up for when motivation returns, so I`ll give AngelWax compound/polish a try with them but I`ll be sticking with Kami and 22ple for LSP`s cuz the stuff just plain works for me.
There will be always something to try, be it practical or not so it`s not totally out of the realm of possibility that I`ll find some hits and misses going forward.
I really should try a wax or sealant as an LSP sometime just for giggles...
