    Well I can say OCD actually played a huge role here I am not saying you did anything wrong but maybe a little overprotective even if I had to do same I would have gone with 2 coats of each coat and maybe uk/ti02 topped with gliss at max... but again I have to agree with the fact you can't find the best without experimenting yourself because in the end it all comes down to personal preference of what is best... so full marks to you and your work...
    And lastly, those are some beautiful cars there����
    Thank you, I can say this, up until my kids, sideswiped the bumper of the rapide, I almost gave up on the coating. Once I realized that it is much more workable then clear coats. Meaning I can apply and remove when I want. (Something I can’t do with a clear coat) I began adding a few extra coats.

    Now in my research I hear classic gives the gloss. I’ve read that 2 coats minimum to get that glassy gloss. Then I also read that uk is thicker (maybe more protection then classic). And give a deeper look. I like glossy and a deep look. So I use both. I actually removed the coating on the two Passenger doors of my rapide.

    I then coated one door with classic only and the other door I coated with UK. It was funny cause when I showed the car to a few people to get Their opinion. It was like “what’s wrong with those two doors”. There was a clear difference and the car looked like it was painted. Basically, a noticeable difference in one door being deeper then the other. See photos attached and tell me if you can see which door has UK and which has classic. It’s much more pronounce when viewing in the sunlight. This is another reason why I used both. But again, it’s my trial and error with testing products from carpro

    There is no way to tell for sure by looking at pictures, in person maybe.

    Yes, so seeing the deep color I got with uk on a black car 1st. I removed the classic then started all over using uk 1st. Then topping it with classic.


    Again, i do this to my vehicles, I enjoy “going against the grain”, Testing new things or ways of doing things. Doing all this is my form of relaxation and escaping my crazy work life and directions are for the masses in a sense of being able to generalize application of a product and tell the whole world how to do it. I know there is always more to it.

    In those photos, you can clearly see that there is a door darker then the other. And, as stated, it was more pronounced in the daylight outside.

    Sorry, I never really answered that. It’s the front passenger door. And to clarify a little more. Both doors are dark but the front passenger door had a deeper “richer” look with UK
