    What is your Favorite Coating

    Been a while since I have been on the site, but what coating do you guy like the best.

    Specifically looking for my daily driver Honda and hoping to get a coating that will give the paint any bit hardness to prevent swirls and marring.

    Have had my eye on CQuartz but not sure if you guys like something different now.

    22ple just came out with VXpro2. claimed 3 year durability and its pretty expensive.

    For me, I like PBL paint coating. Sooo easy to use.

    Got a box of VX Pro2 sitting on my desk. Scheduled to go on a VW Golf R in a couple weeks. I will likely do a test panel this weekend to get a feel for it.

    I do like 22PLE and PBL. Duragloss strictly for the value, just does not seem to get quite the same performance as some others.

    I have Cquartz on my Si. My car was filthy. So now for a quiz. Did I wash it or drive it in the rain today?

    to those who hate on coatings, this sort of thing is what i try to explain to them. my wife's Audi stays looking clean for longer and there is one reason: it's coated!

    Re: What is your Favorite Coating

    I have nothing to compare it to, but I coated my Honda Element with Cquartz UK back in February while I was in California. I was nervous about the ease of application due to what I had read about some people's experience with Cquartz, but I didn't have any problems at all; it was quite smple.

    I drove it across the country back to my home in Virginia. Here, it sits outside 24/7. I don't pamper the finish as well as I should; I use cheap microfiber towels, and sometimes I touch the paint in ways that would make people here cringe. From that perspective it seems quite hard; the finish is still fantastic.

    cquartz UK has some pretty impressive youtube videos. Havent seen too many vids of other coatings showing scratch resistance.
