Thinking about trying out Gloss Coat, but all I have here is Poorboys SSR lineup in terms of polishes. I don't see it being an issue, and if follow up the panel with an IPA wipe.

What percentage of ipa are yall using for a post polish wipe?

Any help here, I'd appreciate it

If you don't already have it, you can pick up a gloss coat kit that comes with their paint prep.

Optimum Complete Prep & Coating Kit (http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-paint-prep-kit.html)

Optimum Paint Prep (http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-paint-prep.html)

The directions per Autogeeks product description

http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-opti-coat.html

Directions

Polish paint with Optimum Polish II or Optimum Hyper Polish to remove any defects.
Clean surface with 15% IPA solution to remove all polishing oils, waxes, and silicones.
Prime the applicator by making an X pattern across the pad. Only a few drops will be needed for each subsequent panel.
Wipe Optimum Gloss-Coat onto a single panel at a time in a thin layer using two directions, in a circular or front to back direction.
Within 5 minutes, inspect the panel with adequate lighting looking for any thick areas that have not flashed away to clear.
Use foam applicator or paint safe microfiber to even out any areas where you see streaks. This step is key, as any spots not leveled will have to be polished if allowed to cure. Panels will feel a bit tacky and will be self-leveling during cure time, so avoid any unnecessary touching, wiping, or contact to produce the best results.
Repeat steps 1-6 for each panel where application is desired.
