I can't pick one over the other, they all are excellent choices, but vary in durability. Buy them all LOL.......

Great am buying all 3.

So far this thread has only been PA, not a single comment on CSL.

I personally don't like the finicky side of coatings. That's just me and my personal choice.

CSL is what I put on my customer's cars. I, however, have no desire to put a multi year coating on my own car. If I did it would be CSL. I think it is a great all around performer that isn't prohibitively expensive either.

How you finding the look of CSL?

I do like it. Just a slight darkening effect and very glossy. Great metallic flake pop with a glow about it. I feel that it gives a sense of optical depth to the clear coat. You can tell there is something on the car. More so than what C1 did.

From my fellow detail pals who have used both, Cosmic V2 for looks and CSL for swirl resistance and durability as its harder and thicker.

I have csl+exo(varying between exo v2 and v3 toppers depending in panel)and pa cosmic (color matched v1 in hood and v2 on other areas) on my SRT
Water behavior wise, the exo beads more by a few degrees

Cosmic v2 is 108 degree ctc angle, 115+ with Cosmic Spritz on top

Exov3 is 7h and I believe close to 120 degree angle (2h if exov2-which beads a little better) though so you'll risk marring your top coat, which happened to me vs not micromarring the 9h cosmicv2

Looks wise I'll take cosmic all day.

This is a fresh coat of spritz on my 92k mile factory painted hood (with color matched cosmic v1 under)

I may not post much here but I have a couple of their products

and have been actively testing your exact posted question for almost a year.

PA stuff is awesome. The Master Sealant with the High Gloss spray is the best my own has ever looked. I was so reluctant to try any products due to the cost. I just wish their polishes and primer polishes were cheaper.

Please share your findings from the past year on both mentioned products.
