Re: Over ceramic coating topper
I think any boosting ability is seen towards the end of a coating's life. I've used Carpro Elixr, ECH2O, Gyeon Cure and Ceramic Detailer, and now Armour Detail Amplify. On a fresh coating I could never tell any difference in water behavior before/after usage on a coating in good shape. When I was nearing a coating's natural lifespan I would see a little bit better behavior, but it was short lived.
Appearance is similar. After applying a most products I like to think it looks a touch better, but I don't know if that is confirmation bias, or whether there is actually any difference. I can say the Amplify and ECH20 are the two where I think there is a more noticeable difference. On a glassy coating they make the shine a little softer, deeper, and more wax-like.

I just question whether a topper actually can extend the life of the base coating.
Depends on topper for me. But I don’t believe in “masking” my CqUk3 coated mustang never performed worse than the actual coating. Even with 3-1 (great protection $h!tty beads). Felt it performed a little better with Kamikaze or PACS.
Might also just my mind trying to justify price…

Re: Over ceramic coating topper
I bought this misting spray bottle that I use Ech20 in as a final light wipe down.

I have an unopened bottle of BSD, and I'm really not sure if to use it on my ceramic coated car.
BSD is a brilliant product for this purpose, so is for much more !
