Re: lookswise any difference from a coating or just a good sealant
White paint is the hardest to shine. If you spent all that time with 4 coats of Klasse, leave it alone. It's all in the polishing and since you got it 90%, your maxed out. Go find another car to work on.
Re: lookswise any difference from a coating or just a good sealant
I'll start off by saying the looks of waxes/sealants/coatings are really subjective and there is some variety in the appearance between coating and sealants as well.
On a white car that has already been corrected and wearing a couple coats of KSG, I'm thinking you're not going to notice much difference. I would even be willing to say on most colors the differences in appearance will be slight. There isn't a dramatic difference between sealants and coatings.
On my family vehicles I used Collonite 845 for several years before switching to McKee's 37 Paint Coating. I was expecting a huge difference in appearance, but actually found the look to be almost identical on all of them (dark red, black, and metallic gray). I haven't been disappointed because they still looked great and using a coating has made keeping them looking good really easy.
Re: lookswise any difference from a coating or just a good sealant
I find there is a difference between the coatings and other lsps in the cases where the coating slightly darkens the car. With coatings like c quartz classic, I see no difference. I definitely see a difference between McKee hi Def paint sealant and c quartz uk. UK looks more like glass while McKees paint sealant looks just shiney.
If you want white paint to shine, Polish angel is your best choice.

I've been maintaining it with PA Carnauba Arts White Alabaster and it is amazing stuff. I last applied that months ago and haven't washed my dd in months and it rained last weekend and it's still protecting it very well. I'm going to apply PA CF Creme Centurion in the near future while the weather is still nice down here.
