Coatings not for Paint.

Her is what I have used and I will try to list them in order of preference.

1. Glass - Optimum Opti Glass, CarPro FlybyForte, McKee's 37

2. Smooth plastic trim - GTechniq C4, CarPro DLUX, Gyeon Trim

3. Headlights/Taillights - I typically use whatever paint coating I am currently using for both. Gyeon Trim and CarPro DLUX are about even for plastic type surfaces. Opti-Lens is more geared towards headlight restoration so I left that out.

For glass- IGL window

Trim- if needed I restore it with solution finish first then coat with IGL trim

For headlights I use whatever paint coating the cars getting at the time.

Curious as to what you liked about C4 as opposed to Gyeon Trim. Gyeon can be somewhat tacky, never quite sure when to remove but it's held up well. I do have C4 to try, haven't gotten around to it yet.

Durability is not so much of a concern for me as they all tend to last about the same amount of time and perform about the same. Overall look in my opinion goes to C4. From using Gyeon Trim it leaves a sheen unlike C4 which is more natural looking. Also C4 gives a more even look where Gyeon Trim may require a bit more product to get an even appearance. I don't find C4 to be tacky compared to Gyeon Trim.
