Thanks for this. That`s kinda where I`m at, if I ever put a coating on the paint I want one I can just wash and dry until it`s time to recoat.
Think I`m done messing around with coatings, final thoughts...

+1. I`m starting to recognize the same. We coated my son`s car back in March with the HPC. I`m amazed by the gloss and overall appearance of his car every time I pass it in the garage. It`s tremendous. I`m sold on it 100%, just with it weren`t so $$$.

Re: Syncro update
If I missed the details elsewhere, I apologize in advance. Is this application of the IGL product part of your spray sealant tests you have in the other thread, or is this another instance? If other, are you testing it as a stand alone product?

Re: Syncro update
This is further testing after my initial side by side testing. I noticed that IGL Ecocoat Premier and Kamikaze Overcoat were still holding up after most of the others were no longer viable. They both are being used as stand alone products and are doing great at almost two months with no signs of deterioration, amazing. By far the best spray and wipe products I have ever used.

Split the panel with one side with Reload and the other just Gliss. Would be something worth trying.

RL, are these both booster-type products? Thanks.
(I`ve only used RELOAD, nothing else...)

As I understand it it`s not need to top Gliss. IIRC the water behavior of reload will affect the Gliss. It`s Reset or Ech2o since Ech2o has so little of the Sio2 in it that it won`t affect the Gliss. So for the useally sacrificial layer of reload after a coating would be working backwards if applyied over Gliss.
Do you get any feedback from those who drive the fleet vehicals? And if they getting any comments on them by customers or others? Cause that is one nice fleet vehicals you have there.

I`m guessing I`m gonna have leftovers of all the coatings/boosters and such so I`ll find a vehicle and do different panels with different products, can easily split a panel w/ Reload on part, Gliss on another. Gotta use Reload on something as I`ve never tried it. Do you think Gliss would take well to 2 layers ro should I just stop at one?
We do get occasional comments from clients, usually along the lines of "Do you guys wash your vehicles every week, they`re always so clean..." and some of the guys who drive them end up asking to have their personal cars done. Drivers of the van really like good windshield coatings as well. Likely do all the windshields in the in Kamikaze Instenso as I`ve still got about 50ml of that left.
I`m getting near the 2 year anniversary of when I started mucking about with vans/co-workers cars; just nice to come in every day to see how cars/vans with different coatings are doing. Right now, every day I see vehicles done with:
Cquartz TiO2
Gyeon Syncro
Gyeon One
22ple HPC
Kami Miyabi + ISM
Gtechniq CSL + Gyeon CanCoat
Gyeon Prime + Gyeon CanCoat
Gyeon CanCoat
Gyeon Mohs + Gyeon Booster
Nanolex Si3D
Feynlab Ceramic + Feynlab Topcoat
Gloss Shop Ceramic V2
...and probably a few others with partial panels done with things like Polish Angel Master Sealant + Rapidwaxx, Kami Overcoat (with and without Infinity Wax under it), IGL Premier (still hangin on) Feynlab Ceramic Sealant, PA Cosmic Spritz, etc.
It`s really enjoyable in the summer when it starts raining. Considering most vehicles don`t receive `Autopian OCD-ish) care, the durable ones with great self cleaning really stand out.
Entertainment is where ya find it...

Nope...have not heard much about them but they are on the radar due to the Titanium Premium Quartz product that claims some self healing properties. I can just never remember the name when I`m looking for new things to buy/try.

Re: Syncro update
They are considered coating toppers, but either one would make a very good stand alone sealant. Reload lasts about 2 weeks where these are still looking brand new after 2 months. If your vehicle is mostly garaged Reload is ok, but on a DD I would get Premier or Overcoat for more protection.

I understand you want to give reload a shot but I just find it rather redundant applying so soon on top of gliss. But that is just me. If you have the time then by all means go for it.
As far as two coats I think one coat is enough at least being used as a topper. As a stand alone maybe two coats would make sense and I believe it is a 1 hour wait time between coats. I guess if you have the time and want to use the entire bottle then go for it.

Re: Syncro update
Excellent. Thanks for that.
A couple of weeks ago I polished one of the DDs with ESSENCE and followed with a RELOAD wipe down. It looks excellent for the amount of time invested. Beading is crazy. This particular car is sitting outside now.
I`ve got a boat-load of RELOAD. Need to try to use some of that up. Will certainly try one of these products you mention.

Re: Syncro update
IGL Ecocoat Premier would be excellent with Essence as a low cost, durable, high shine package. Kind of a coating lite package.

Awesome! You have created your own coating heaven LOL. That can be a big thing for the company that they look clean and presenteble. And all information you share with us is just outstanding. And that you follow up and have us updated is so much worth and very interesting as well. This is a very unique information from coatings and toppers at the same place.
It`s entertainment just to read about it too

Yeah...I dont wanna `disrupt` the benefits of Gliss w Reload...I`ll find something to use Reload on. I`m curious to see how CQUK + Gliss compares to Syncro.
Gliss mentions fluorine in its formulation as does Gyeon Booster, which certainly outdid the Skin in Syncro with regards to longevity...minus the great initial slickness and visually entertaining water behavior.
Have high hopes for the Essence + CQ UK x 2 + Gliss x 1 combo...in theory it sounds like a very durable solution.
