    Coating Toppers

    Evening, everyone.

    I'm looking for some opinions on coating toppers. Let's assume for a moment that coating toppers are perfectly reasonable things to do -- so no debates about whether they are needed or not.

    I've tried Gtechniq C1.5, CarPro Reload and 22PLE Final Coat. I wasn't a fan of Reload because of streaking on my dark blue car (no matter how little or much I used; no matter how much I diluted it). 22PLE Final Coat was OK -- expensive for the amount. Gtechniq C1.5 was OK as well.

    I'm looking for the "perfect" topper. What are you guys using to top your coatings?

    Sonax Polymer Netshield. No judgements. It's pretty cool. Easy application.

    The coatings vary, so I guess that is an important factor.

    My go to coatings have been Gtechniq C1/EXO and 22PLE. I am going to give Wolfgang and Mohs a whirl soon.

    I've read about this several times on the forum and how people love it. Some discussion about difficulty applying -- is that true? It sounds like it would be fairly straightforward.

    No need for. "Topper" with EXO v2. Maybe brilliant shine Detailer.

    4 star spray wax works great w/all coatings I've tried.
