    Difference in PBL Surface coating and Paint Coating?

    What are the differences in PBL Surface Coating and Paint Coating? Application differences as well? I thought I understood after talking with a knowledgable detailer but read conflicting info here!

    On the Surface Coating you apply per panel (or part thereof), then when done with that area, wipe down with a soft MF, correct?

    I read about the Paint Coating about applying to the whole car then wiping down.

    I'm now officially confused on 2 levels, the difference in product and application! b

    The Surface Coating can be applied to anything, paint, glass, wheels, trim. The Paint Coating was intended only for paint.

    You'll get a better hydrophobic effect using the Paint Coating rather than the Surface Coating.

    This is the 3rd vehicle I've applied PBL glass, paint , and wheel coating too:

    2012 Toyota RAV4 - PBL Glass, Paint, & Wheel Coating

    In my experience, it was simpler to apply coating to a panel then come back and buff off the high spots with an MF towel. Additionally, make sure temp are at least above 60 for application.
