Can't link it because it's against the rules so you'll have to google it. It seems like its like opti-coat. And will AG carry it? It looks more like a premium product.

one needs to look past marketing fluff and stop using pictures posted by sellers to determine if it's good or not. As of right now Opti-Guard in the only coating I've seen with real world long term testing
Frankly it is daft when someone comes along and raves about a product (which is primarily concerned with durability) some 2 days after application.
To take that train of thought one step further...
Over my experience on online discussion forums, many, not all, but many of the people that would be involved in a discussion over product longevity are the same people that can't help themselves but to go out into the garage and re-wax their car after only a few weeks...
:laughing:
Just sayin...
I kind of agree what with Mile said about wanting to wax frequently. My short lived venture with OptiCoat was a little blah. All you could really do was wash it and spray wax it. But it's great for a detailer's customer's car. While coatings may last longer, I still don't think they look as good as a high quality wax also.
I've checked out the 22ple website and they CLAIM their coating is more durable and has a higher silica content than similar products. They also claim similar products exaggerate their life expectancy.
Here is a car a did a couple months ago with it. It's very easy to use but other than that it just seems very similar to the other glass coating out there. Each seems to have their own strong points. I definitely don't see it as a game changer and one needs to look past marketing fluff and stop using pictures posted by sellers to determine if it's good or not. As of right now Opti-Guard in the only coating I've seen with real world long term testing and only time will tell how good these newer glass coating really are. It does look better than OG though IMO.

That is just it - claims. When my suppliers come to me with a new raw material, I need more than claims. I wouldn't even bother testing a product if they didn't have some supporting data - it is not rocket science. Gloss retention after repeated washes, contact angle after repeated solvent wipes... very simple and standard tests.
Silica content - several of the resin products I have dealt with are 60-80% silica... but there is nothing glass coat, nano structured, nano particles... so what exactly is 'higher silica content' supposed to be telling us?
Im sure the number one authority in the US would give an answer for that, Im actually interested to hear myself
Who is the number one authority on chemical coatings? I'd love to know because it is almost impossible to find out who in the chemical industry actually knows enough of chemistry and application to advise on coating formulation!!
...
I know what you mean... and also the same people who take the most care of their vehicles and least require the abrasion resistance etc!

Those paleo-products made of carnauba are growing more and more on me... rops:
Two excellent points and that's why my cars haven't been coated up till now. There is, however, a field of application that may interest me: the wheels (and the already announced coatings for polycarbonate and glass may also be of interest).
