Re: Topper for speed
This has been debated. WGDGPS is one of those that some have stated does not last on Speed. Others have claimed/tested that most sealants done last... but others have had very good success with sealants on top.
Most claims for Collinite 845, and probably other waxes, do last as expected.

Re: Topper for speed
What if you went over the Speed with IPA or some other sort of surface prep?? HD Poxy would be the most logical choice,but I have read mixed reviews about it's durability as well.

Re: Topper for speed
I tried that, using WG Paint Prep Spray over Speed 4 days later, then applying PBL Sealant on top. No noticeable depreciation of the Sealant after 1 month, but then I started messing around with various toppers sprays, so I can’t state that the PBL Sealant alone is still going strong at 2 months, but the car still looks great and is beading great and at no point did I have any reason to believe the sealant or any toppers have been degraded due to Speed underneath

Re: Topper for speed
I probably should have mentioned the above in my first response, but I forgot about it until you mentioned IPA. If I had to guess, I would say that the Speed has not had a negative impact on the sealant. It’s not conclusive, but it’s my best hunch.

Re: Topper for speed
I have used poxy over speed on black and had some hazing. I will try the IPA, I am looking for longevity after using an AIO for light swirls and lightly faded paint on most of my customers daily drivers. (speed, blackfire, McKees and klasse is what I have now)

Well,as with anything,results may vary. I have found that very true in regards to detailing. I am glad that I saw WGDGPS does not play well with Speed. I had debated trying that combo.

Re: Topper for speed
If you were going to use WG Deep Gloss, I would just use HD Polish+, or any pure polish.
As for Speed toppers, 845 is great. 476s is even better.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
