How'd it work out for you on the notoriously 'tender' Subaru paint?
Have a black 2016 WRX I plan on doing Wolfgang duo + Wolfgang Uber Ceramic on this Spring. So far I have found that looking at it wrong will mar/scratch/swirl the Subaru 'environmentally friendly' paint.
Long time Zaino devotee but they don't seem to be doing much new so looking for something more...
I polished the paint with CarPro Reflect (LC white & blue pads on Flex), wiped down with BlackFire Crystal Coat Prep then applied the WG Uber Ceramic.
The paint corrected easy and looked awesome. I am optimistic that the WG Uber Ceramic provides good protection & holds up well. I will be polishing off the CQUK on my Touareg soon and applying the WG Uber Ceramic.
I did the rear gate last so at that point the whole pad had coating on it. I used the edge to get inside and in/around the badging-lettering. Worked out just fine.
I didn't have any issues, but I kept a few q-tips handy in case I saw a high spot around the lettering. In all honesty I might have a high spot inside/around the badging, but I couldn't see it.

Thanks for the tip/education. I may be applying the coating tomorrow...we'll see if I chicken out.
It's super easy to apply.
I would suggest priming the LC Applicator with 2 lines, then do a panel. I started with a fender. Do your right-> left then up->down. Let it sit for 1 minute, then go over again with the applicator to level it (do not add more coating to applicator), right ->left then up->down. Then sit 1 minute. Now you can use the MF towel to level any spots that haven't flashed, there shouldn't be much to level. You should see the coating flashing as you wait the minute.
For the next section I just used 1 line of coating on the LC applicator and repeated what I listed above.
I like it so much I just ordered another kit. Going to remove CQUK from our other car and apply Uber to it.
Don't forget you can use Uber on almost everything exterior: paint, hard plastic, glass, wheels, etc..
In 2 to 3 years what will be the plan for product removal in these tight areas? Appearance / esthetics if ignored?

I'll probably use some polish on a little detailing stick-sponge (not sold on AG). Not overly worried about it though. If kept clean I might just be able to pre-treat and coat over it.

I am now buying this coating, because of all your reviews. For you guys who have used, or are using the WGUC, and have used it on all exterior surfaces mentioned. For maintenance, do you just wash the car with your chosen car wash(like Auto Bathe), rinse, and dry off and that that's it? Then you are ready to go?
No window cleaner on Glass, No booster's needed like Spritz Sealant. I mean that sounds pretty awesome to be able to eliminate the need for the normal maintenance products.
Since I'm new to coatings, I just wanted to make sure what I needed for followup, if anything?
Thanks you all and take care!

I still find myself experimenting with detail sprays and other spray products while drying specifically. Its mostly for lubrication as a towel to remove light drops of water "could" mar the finish. It might add a bit of additional gloss but still looks equally appealing.
I would not hesitate to recommend the Uber coating, and I would use it again.

Thankyou guys for these great tips and suggestions. It's just like embedded within me to do "something" with normal maintenance. I'm so used to using UQW after washing and drying my car, that it feels weird not using something to wipe the car down with. But hey, if it just doesn't need it for any reason, and I can save some money on products not used, then that would be cool.
Then with the Glass Cleaners like Stoners. Can these be used, or should not be used, on the glass that is coated as well.
I'm sorry if I am asking questions that have all been answered before. I have been looking through old posts and have not seen too much on the do's and don'ts with the Uber Coating.
Thank you all greatly!

Ray - I don't see why you couldn't use a quality glass cleaner on the exterior glass. But I haven't found the need. The Uber Rinseless mixed as a QD works awesome. I also have the BF waterless mixed as a QD, also a great option.
My CQUK coated vehicle has CP Reload on the glass right now, I haven't used a glass cleaner on that vehicle in years. Just use the QD I mix up.
My vehicles are coated to make life easy. It has been a struggle to get past the feeling of not needing to do a Wipedown after washing; but after time you will appreciate the time savings. You will also notice less MF marring in the finish since You are not touching the paint as often as before.

As Ebg 18t said, I found it amazingly easy to apply. I was nervous at first but once I had completed a few sections I realized how simple this was and my confidence grew. Over the last few days I decided that for my DD the coating was a wise choice. But I also realized (for now) that for my other car, I will not apply the coating. Rather, I simply enjoy the occasional exterior detailing too much. So I'm going with your Black Light/Collinite combination. I can't wait to compare the Wolfgang coating to the Black Light/Collinite under the direct light of a sunny day.

I'm likely going to use it on the wife's minivan not the Audi. I like to play with the Audi too much and coatings aren't going to prevent marks and skuffs and I tend to hit those right away on my car. I was also looking at it this morning and while I know coatings help, the finish on my car is such a mirror like one that I'd be surprised if it would make a huge difference compared to what I have now.
Sounds silly but I also find it very easy to quickly hit the car up with Collinite or even something like blacklight after a nice wash. Takes me maybe 10-15 minutes tops to coat let it haze and wife off. That's the therapy part IMO.
