Yet it appears you performed "topping",
without knowing for sure how...or if...
it works.
Contradictory, or no?
Not quite following. What contraction? I did 111 and it looked good. It was shiny but didn't have the wow factor others talked about. I had some collinite, have read that it looks good on top of 111 and tried it. Looks great.
I think a topping adds extra protection and (in this case) has different optical qualities. It's like a protectant for the protectant. In this case it was more of me trying to get a certain look. Or did I misunderstand your comment? Feel free to educate me on toppers if I have it wrong.

111 is said to look better and feel slicker after it's had a chance to "cure".
As far as bonding issues, 111 has a very light cleaner, which should take care of any oils left behind by the polish.
845 in my experience gives a very nice, darkening effect to the paint.
there is no such thing as "paint coating" that lasts a year or more. It's snake oil BS. The only thing that's for real is car wax. Just get Meguires or any other good car wax. There's nothing better, no matter what nonsense you read online.
Interesting.
What coatings have you tried?
Any tests to verify the claim?
I do agree that I like a good Meguiar's wax (M26).

Durogloss 111 does not have any cleaners. DG 105 (and especially 501) has cleaners that may remove any of the "oils" you are concerned about. It sounds like you found a combo that meets your needs. Look good--sell it.

I'm not concerned, the OP was.
I've read a lot of conflicting information regarding cleaners in 111. To the point that conflicting statements were coming from the company.
I concluded that it says that it will remove tree sap, bugs and tar that it might have some type of cleaning agent that accomplishes that task.
?
I guess I'll never know. I'm OK with that. I like how it performs.
