Hi all, I’m wondering what people’s opinions are for toppers with some filling ability?
I bought a used car last weekend and won’t have a chance to do a thorough correction until mid-August at earliest. In the meantime I’m just trying to band-aid a nice look with filler products (albeit very nice products). The car was bought with an old coating on it (I assume), and I washed with WG Uber SiO2 Wash. The glassy SiO2 look didn’t bode well with all the swirls on these long sunny days. The swirls just lit up. I then started playing around with toppers that I thought would make it look better in the short term.
These include: One coat Souveran Paste (still daw plenty of swirls but less reflective, more rich look helped a bit. Then 3 days later I did a coat of Souveran Spray Wax. This brought some reflectivity back and appeared to hide some swirls. Finally, I just popped on a coat of Pinnacle Crystal SiO2 to keep the synergy and to protect the black paint in the 100F+ heat index and to lessen the grass pollen collection. It looks really nice now, but I’ll get a second look tomorrow in the sun.
Anyways, Meg’s UQW comes to mind as a good filler topper from past experience. Any others that you AG people recommend? I’ve heard Reload recently, but it’s one of the few AG sprays I don’t own.
Thanks in advance!
