I've run up against quite a tough decision point here that I'm hoping I can square away using the collective brainpower.
For someone like myself, or a couple of my more 'enthusiats' level clients, I wouldn't think twice if they asked for a coating. My suggestions would range from Gyeon, Kamikaze, Carbon Collective, CQUK as well as GTechniq depending upon what they were looking for and the conditions I'd find myself applying it in.
But someone like my father has me stumped. I've mentioned before I'm going to be working on his BRG F type R. The car has such soft paint, that I really truly want to coat it. I know it would look incredible with Kamikaze ISM+Miyabi, but the difference in maintenance requirement has me thinking that maybe I'm better off with something else.
My dad is very much the type to like to grab a spray wax or QD and shine the car up once a week or before he takes it out for a drive. Also, if it gets dirty for some reason, he might run it through an occasional touchless wash in between when I can take care of it for him. Normally I'd just do a sealant along the lines of Powerlock for that kind of maintenance upkeep, but I really feel like it needs more than that. For that reason, I'm looking at things like Optimum GlossCoat, AMMO reflex, Gyeon CanCoat and the like. But I don't know how much these more flexible coatings enhance scratch resistance which is what I'm mainly concerned about with the soft paint. Maybe cosmic v2 is a good option for this?
I'm sure there are a couple coatings I haven't mentioned above, maybe 22ple or one of those. So what coating would you guys recommend in the situation I'm in?
