Topper to add to 303 Graphene for slickness
For those who have use the 303 graphene, you know it leaves the paint feeling somewhat tacky. What I am looking for is a product to use over the 303 that will add slickness which in turn will make drying the vehicle quicker. I have tried using Insulator wax845, made no difference.

Do you have Beadmaker or Sonax Brillant Shine Detailer?

Neither. Have you used both of these as a topper?

Not only do I have both AND used them as a topper I have mixed the 2 of them together and used it While I haven't used them on my 303 graphene coated car I have used them through the years with MUCH success in the slickness department and they both add serious gloss, especially after a little bit of time goes by. Beadmaker is the economical champ, hands down and works equally well on a dry car as well as a drying aid.

I was hopping to hear anyone's experience with the 303 and a topper. I have seen and read over the years, products that add slickness, but before I put my money down, I would like to hear direct experiences.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

If 303 Graphene doesn't give you the finish you are looking for "Why are you using it?"
In my experience it doesn't make sense to use a product that doesn't do and work they way I want it to. There are so many options out there that I can find something that will. Especially for a "spray wax" type product. I can apply any spray wax weekly and get continual protection for as long as I want.

Oh, contraire, it gives me the look and I believe the durability.

Well, I did add Griot's Garage Ceramic Speed Shine to my car 2 weeks ago without an issue AND it was 40 degrees and shady. The paint was smooth to the touch and glossy as hell. This was on nearly 8 week old 303 graphene too!

That's fair. I just figure that If I need to apply something else on top of a "Spray wax" to get the slick finish on a weekly basis then I might as well use a more durable coating or sealant base layer and use a spray product that gives me the slick finish or gloss I am looking for.
I personally see many of these Graphene sprays as a "spray wax/sealant" but since they are used so often long term durability doesn't really matter.
The other thing to think about is If I top a base layer product with something I change the finial product and results. If I top my sealant with a wax; I am not longer getting most of the properties of the sealant. I am getting the properties of the wax. which is why some many used a wax over a sealant because the sealant would hopefully last but we wanted the look of the wax.
So if I use a Graphene spray because of the "less water spotting" properties I loose that when I put something else on top of it until that topper product is gone.
