    Re: Coating overload - which one to use

    Thanks for all the input everyone. Still going back and forth - I like Polishangel because of its ease of applicability but I figured before I recoat I should see if there is something better.

    I couldn't agree more!! I've used several coatings including Cosmic. You would love this combo,,

    I generally top every coating I do with a SiO2 booster/sacrificial layer and have not had spotting with that particular formulation.

    Which ones do you prefer?
    I've been using Cure. Very impressed with it. I've used KOC (not sold here so initials are in it's place). It is nice, but expensive. Not sure if it is any better than Cure. Next I'm going to try the XXX Systems product.

    Cure is nice, especially cut 50-50 with distilled water; I had some streaking using it straight up.

    Sent ya a PM regarding the acronym products.

    None! Stick to a wax or sealant!

    BudgetPlan, I'm going to try the CURE 50/50 suggestion. Several people have said the same thing.

    Re: Coating overload - which one to use

    I applied Optimum Gloss-Coat to my white Audi TT last year. I am very happy with the application and the result. It seems this product is not as popular as it once was. Are the coatings in the original post any better?

    I just got CarPro Spotless and have a coated vehicle with some pretty mineral rich rain sitting on it now. So I have something to test with. Hopefully tomorrow.
    Any update?
