That’s awesome he is funding your project now! Well at least 1500 towards it lol. We know how fast that money can go

I`m not sure he was a `true believer` in the coating game until I did his Ford Explorer last month with 22ple HPC. We got hit with a succession of little snowstorms immediately after and he saw how clean his vehicle stayed despite the winter carnage. A week later, hands me the check and says `this is for all the vehicles you`ve done so far...and we have 3 new ones coming if you wanna mess around with them`.
Doing vehicles in this environment sure does test them; didn`t wash any of them since application last year. Add to that some co-workers cars and everyday I can see how they`re all holding up.
Parking lot has vehicles done with:
Gyeon Mohs w CanCoat
Gyeon Mohs w Booster
Gyeon Prime
Gyeon Prime with CanCoat
Cquartz (recently topped w CanCoat and Kamikaze Overcoat)
Gtechniq CSL (recently topped w CanCoat and IGL Premier)
22ple HPC topped w Finitura
Kamikaze Miyabi + ISM + Infinity Wax + Overcoat
Kamikaze Miyabi + ISM + Overcoat
The Gloss Shop Ceramic V1
The Gloss Shop Ceramic V2
Pearl Nano
I`m starting to lose track...but it sure is fun in the rain to walk around the lot staring at hoods of all these vehicles watching them bead/sheet.

That`s why I recommended Viking Coat with Invicible primer and 2 layer of Viking the claims up to 24 months longevity. Cosmic is claimed with same applyied to 18-24 months of longevity. And master sealant with esclate 12 months plus of longevity. If you do a couple of decon washes during the time and apply viking or cosmic spritz or high gloss you extend that longevity. Viking Coat is made for a more northern climate with snow and rain and what it brings with it. Cosmic and Master sealant is more made for the shine and gloss that will often has a downside on the longevity of coatings. It`s like carpros cquk and cq classic where cquk is made for UK climate of heavy rain and cq classic for the looks. The sio2 is more harder and withstand rain and snow better than tio2. So think that Viking Coat has some more of sio2 ratio in it than cosmic that has a higher tio2 ratio in it. This is what I think is what is the difference between them. That`s why I think Viking Coat would suit a fleet vehical better.
Something for my personal intrest is 1 layer of cquk and 1 layer of cquarts classic and then topped with gliss would make a good combo. But to a fleet vehical 2 layers of cquk and topped with gliss would suit it better though.
Then you have the tac system products and the coating quarts uhs 90% that has a longevity of up to 3 years and I think you not be have to be a pro installer to buy. They have also quarts power plus and quarts shine coatings and the Hydrophobic Top Coat 1.0. Tac system has manufactured coatings for a long time to other well known companys and decided for a couple of years ago they would make their own detailing products. Rumor is they have manufactured products to very well known south Korea brands for a long time. They have a solid line of products. Their Quarts MAX is like cure and reload and applyies to prevent water spots as they do or just refresh the coating down the road.
I`m pondering the PA but having a hard time with durability concerns. Also thought Viking used Escalate as primer, not Invincible.
I looked into TAC, the UHS and others. Kinda ambivalent regarding them though, figuring close enough to Gyeon that it might turn out to be pretty much the same.
Right now I`m thinking Gyeon Syncro, Nanolex Si3D (have to get from UK I think) and maybe good `ol McKees V2...although revisiting Feynlab with Ceramic Lite + Topcoat is a strong contender as well.
Have an older Ford Ranger that I`ll probably try the Kisho on with a little something different on the hood.
Decisions, decisions...
