I usually use meguirs et al but had wife’s car coated with gteqniq EXO and am not sure what to use. Really going for some layering as well as gloss/pop.
Thanks!

These are what I use or have used and they all work well on coated surfaces.
CarPro Ech20 at 1:20 - Won't leave that much in terms of protection but will leave a slick and glossy finish. Works well as a drying aid.
CarPro Elixir - Quick detailer that leaves protection behind. Works well as a drying aid.
Shine Supply Throttle - Works best on a dry surface rather than a drying aid. But leaves a nice shine and the slickness is the slickness from the actual coating and not the QD. Does not leave SiO2 protection behind.
If looking to layer make sure to use topper/sio2 sealant. I like Polish Angel spritz’s, kamikaze Overcoat, and Shine Supply Clutch. Will try IGL PREMIER next as its gaining popularity and seems to work well.i top every 3-4 months.
Second the Ech20 or elixir. I mix the Clutch with the Ech20 at 3oz/3oz in a 32oz bottle filling rest with distilled water. Adds slickness while drying and leaves a nice gloss.

Ok so polish angel.
What am I dealing with here? For $70 this can’t ‘just’ be a drying aid.
Would I use it AFTER a traditional wash and drying aid to boost shine?
I would use it after a traditional wash/dry. They can be used as drying aids but treat them as liquid gold and only use small amounts when dry.Quote:

I literally just use D156. A gallon is, like, $33. Either that or I've used DG Rinseless wash mixed as Quick Detailer, but D156 does a fine job. Otherwise all the SiO2 stuff is super over-priced and doesn't really do much. I say trust your coating. If your coating alone lasts 2 years, what's the benefit to actually extending its life an additional 3 months or so? By that time it'll be so contaminated that it's ready for a re-do any way.
