Re: LATEST TOPPER POLL. EVERYTHING SHY OF CANCOAT.
I like 3D bead it up a lot.
I also like TWHS Wet Wax as a drying aid! (Not sure if that counts as a topper to you but it does to me)

You can clutch in gallons but It’s expensive. Still got half galllon…
And I’d be probably dumb enough to buy a gallon of PA High Gloss if available….

Optimum Car Wax or Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer. Those are the two I'm currently using, and really enjoy.
I can use Car Wax as a stand alone, or over Opti-Seal. ID&GE is great over Opti-Seal.

Re: LATEST TOPPER POLL. EVERYTHING SHY OF CANCOAT.
I use 3D Bead it Up after each wash. Season long car/refresh details of a car that I've ceramic coated, I use CanCoat, the new EVO now, of course. Reload, etc. are nothing more than glorified detail sprays like Bead it Up. I never saw them lasting long at all.

TWHS wet wax as a drying aid. Impressive looks and decent protection.

Re: LATEST TOPPER POLL. EVERYTHING SHY OF CANCOAT.
I have tried several different toppers including several on your list.
My favorite topper is Xtreme Solutions Topper - great gloss, water beading, slickness, and very nice scent. It is available in a gallon.
My second favorite is TEC 582.
3D Bead It Up felt very similar to TEC 582 to me and would probably be my 3rd choice.
Personally, I did not care for Turtle Wax Wet Wax as much. While it performed well, it had two negatives to me. It did not have as pleasant a scent and, more importantly, it is not available in a gallon size. Both XS Topper and TEC 582 are available in gallons and are better values.

Glassparency Boost is a really nice product. Goes on easy and offers good protection.
I also like Optimum Car Wax - the stuff is just easy to use.

TEC582 is a great value. I prefer that to Gyeon ID.
I also liked the look and ease of use of Opti Seal and Hyper Seal. Just don't expect crazy water behavior with those two products.
I want to try Kamikaze OC one day.
Truthfully of all the products I've used over the last few years I was never unhappy with any of them. They all work and have their strengths/weaknesses.
If Griot's 3 in1 was a bit more hydrophobic I would have likely stayed with that because it's quite durable. It just lacks the beading I was after.
