    Duragloss Enviroshield gets my vote, followed by Optimum Gloss Coat

    What is the best ceramic/nano glass coating for a first timer?

    The product description says you need to use their primer first - if you polish with something like Essence instead has anyone tested that? Does it cause issues if you don't?

    I've been so hesitant to do coatings. I'm so comfortable with waxes and sealants but the appearance of coatings is just so ridiculous I'm really tempted to bite the bullet and try.

    Listen to Richy. Gloss Coat is pretty darn fool proof. The added benefit is that you don't need to top it with a product like Reload. Simply wash and enjoy. But if you really have to, opti-seal would be the product to use with it.

    Thanks to all the suggestions so far. Keep them coming

    What is Gloss Coat? Who makes them?

    Yeah I know the question is not a black or white question and I realize I am going to get multiple answers but still have to ask and make up my own mind and do research. I specifically want to avoid products with finicky application instructions such as 'Apply this in a hermetically sealed chamber with a special applicator from Norway and let it sit there for 24 hrs. One touch or wrong move, you have to do it all over again' type instructions.

    Looking for something simple, idiot proof and forgiving in application.

    Optimum does. They invented coatings.

    That would not work, they are designed as a two step synergistic process. If you wanted to do what your suggesting you could go with Viking Coat, but you'd spend the same amount of money either way.

    Machine, here's the Show and Shine for my Rogue.

    I'll be doing some other vehicles in a few months, I don't do anything during the summer months down here in Florida, too darn hot.

    Here's the link:

    Polish Angel Esclate and Viking Coat

    No flashing, no high spots, no mistakes etc. It's "fool proof"

    I have 3 white cars and nothing has come close to the depth of gloss or making the metallic flake pop like Viking Coat. I'm going to put Invincible/Cosmic Coat on my wife's Sonata in the fall when it cools down. That'll be a good comparison for me between the VC and Invincible. Her car is really, really white.
