Looking for a good coating, similar to PBL diamond coating

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Since I'm not well versed on what's out there, I was wondering if there is something similar to the PBL diamond coating? From what I've read it's very easy to use, you can top it with a wax and lasts decently long as is. It's going on my dark F250 truck ( I have a recent detail thread here somewhere if you want to see it )

Is the DP coating similar and the Duragloss?

Any reason you don't want to just use the Diamond coating?

What he said! It's about as easy as it gets. I think DP is a little more finicky when it comes to use.

Anthony,

I would take a look at some of the new clear wipe on - walk away sealants. These are about as easy as it gets to apply and leave a gorgeous shine and protection behind...

These are just a few offered here...

I've used DPPC and currently have been using DGNCC (Dura Gloss Nanoglass Ceramic Coating) with great sucess. DG's coating kit is under $50.00 and you get more than the coating, best buy out there offered by a GREAT company, can't miss, trust me!

How's the gloss with the DG coating? I have to look it up more... You can use whatever you want to in terms of topping right? I'd wait a week on the next wash to top.

Topping? Nix that notion:
No need to top a Coating!!

Unless said coating is CQ and will be subject to rain within the 24hr curing window. :-)

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Yeah but doesnt topping a wax give it more depth etc versus just using a sealant solo? If it doesnt, then I think I'll just stick to my wax. I like how the truck looks waxed. I did try opti-seal and I didnt like the way the truck looked afterwards. It looked differently then when I would wax it, and to be expected.

Do ALL sealants end up looking the same?

I have cquk and decided to top with Pinnacle Synergy. You might want to take a look at Synergy if you like to wax like myself. It's a bit pricey but I love it. Check out some of my threads with my Gto to see the cquk/synergy.

Then the topper is the LSP...
And...IMHO...Is being used as an excuse for the shortcomings of either the Coating, or the:
'non-committal status' of the "Coating-applier".

I thought you were originally talking about Coatings. :confused:

I've had clients that simply must drive their vehicles in the rain before the 24hr cure time and I protect these vehicles from water spots with reload. Some clients just don't have a garage or a second vehicle to drive while their coating is setting up. Others allow me to keep their vehicle overnight during forecasted rain. It's hit or miss I guess but the reload definitely does its job and if applied at the right time I believe it bonds permanently with the coating seeing as it is comprised of pretty much the same ingredients as the coating itself. Reload is just a means of temporary protection against having water spots etching into a soft or uncured coating and as such will wear away exposing a fully cured coating. Not an excuse nor lack of commitment, just good measure! :-)

For that price I'd love to know how that DG coating protects vs. something like a typical sealant (Menzerna PL, 845, etc). Some claim years, etc...but I see everyone using Cquartz or Opti-Coat 2.0 the most here in the states.

I didn't know you could pick up a coating for that cheap. I DD my car almost 50 miles a day so I'd love to have that extra protection year round...especially on my soft Honda black paint!
