How often do you apply your spray sealant as a topper?

[Danno8i]

For those of you who use a spray sealant as a topper over either a ceramic coating or another paint sealant, how often are you reapplying your topper spray sealant? (i.e reload, black fire, etc)

Further, what is the sign to reapply? Is it when you notice the beading reduces significantly during routine washing?

Every other car wash. I don’t look for a sign; I just do it.

Since there’s a base coat underneath, you would want to apply well before beading stops, but more like when the topper-style beading weakens (if you like the topper beading). Or just do it every wash or every other... hell, I go through periods of spray topping twice a week for months straight if it’s not a high solids spray.

You are in the drivers seat with this one.

•I’ll sometimes use Optimum Car Wax
(a Hybrid Sealant, IMO) as a “topper”
over another Sealant, such as Opti-Seal.

-Although OCW is advertised to provide
up to 5 months of protection, I find that
reapplying it after ~3 months really hits
‘the sweet spot’.

I use Ech2o on my Syncro car as a drying aid diluted 1:25. Some may say that's a topper but it really isn't a strong enough dilution to be consider a topper, it won't last. I don't want to mask the coating behavior with other inferior products. It's been on my car for almost 8 months now and it's working great, no need to top it. I just use Ech2o because I don't like to wipe dry w/o something to add lubricity and most products for that purpose will leave something behind. I have been trying with Gyeon quick detailer too and that one is not supposed to change the water behavior, only add some gloss/slickness (it may very well be Gyeon's version of Bead Maker). It's fine but for the price I think I'll go back to just Ech2o which is diluted and more economical.

For my wife's car which I just coated with UK3.0 and Gliss V2 I plan on using the Ech2o + Reload mix as drying aid. I know that's adding a topper but I just think that combo works really well and should be great on an all CarPro protected car.

Rinseless with ech02 bi weekly
SIO2 topper (not as a drying agent) every quarter, either mckees 10 min, bf 2io2 spray or meg’s HCW....They all work about the same for me.

Every single time I clean the car.

I use a Merlin’s with Ech20 and shine supply Clutch as a drying aid and a waterless between washes. I top will be topping every 4-6 weeks. I just got too many toppers not too
