Polish Angel Glasscoat Cosmic (Quick Take)

Knozzmoeking said:
Finally received my PA products and used the directions to detail a pearl white 2016 CR-V and a Blue Pearl 2016 Pilot this weekend.

Assessment on the CR-V: As mentioned by all who have used the products, application and removal could not be simpler. Used the BOSS G15 to apply the Invincible Primer to large areas and a foam applicator pad for the tight areas. Applied 2 coats of the Cosmic Angel with specified 45 minute rest between coats. Followed that up with Cosmic Spritz as directed. I'll try to get pictures later but results were very similar to the Nissan Rogue above. In direct sun, my wife commented that she had to shade her eyes against the reflection. VERY impressive results on a white car.

Assessment on the Pilot: Only one real difference here. PA has an option on their site to order the Cosmic Angel in a color specific formulation. They don't provide any information about the benefits, but I figured what the heck. Instead of a cloudy white color, the Cosmic Angel was blue. The wipeoff produced blue coloration on the microfiber.

All in all, my search for the products that will be used on my daily drivers is over. I plan to simply wash (probably Griot's Brilliant Wash) and use Cosmic Spritz as a "drying aid / coating enhancer".

As noted by others above, the amount of product used if you follow PA directions is very small. I would compare usage of the Cosmic Angel to the amount of Collinite 845 needed to coat the same car. A little goes a long way and the cost per application becomes very reasonable. I would expect the Cosmic Angel to last the life of both cars (which I plan to be a long time).

Pictures to share?
 
Is there a stark difference between the Glasscoat Cosmic and the Vikingcoat? I've noticed glasscoat needs the primer, but not vikingcoat. Any other differences that you might know of that separates them? They offer similar protection periods as well.

I have PA in my wishlist for when funds become available :) - Especially after seeing its capabilities and custmsprty's posts.

Edit: Where are my manners. Great work btw!

Thank you!

Just finished up a black 2015 Escalade ESV with PA Glasscoat Cosmic.
 
Great post. This stuff really intrigues me. Would anyone that's used it suggest the viking spritz or cosmic spritz for maint? Also, I'm assuming that a rinseless is fine with this, with a drying aid like UWW, and then maybe the spritz once a month?

That's pretty much what I had in mind except that I will probably use the Spritz after each waterless wash with UWW+.
 
Yeah man, you don't need to apply that much pressure

Yeah. Stopped at a light. Ford Expedition with a distracted driver used my rear end to slow down from 35 to zero. I get it back tomorrow. I'll go over everything with Cosmic Spritz once I get some garage time.

Check with the shop on when you can seal/wax etc (cure time)

Not for use on glass, plastics or wheels. PA makes separate coating products for those. In essence Cosmic really is a wax with coating properties for hardness (silica) and shine (titania). I don't read German but you can see the lab results on their site for hardness.

So it's basically a liquid version of Pinnacle Black Label Synergy?

At least 2 yrs
One thing the company SAYS-- and they seem to be proud of it is that ALL of their products are made fresh to order-- kind of like @ a high end restaurant. Nothing is made prior to order / nothing sitting on a shelf.

Of course I dont believe it though

I had to look that up.

“For quality reasons all products are freshly made to order and then shipped directly from Germany to you within 2-3 days. For all inquiries please don't hesitate to get in touch via our contact page. We are here to help no matter what the question.”

That would be an incredibly inefficient way to run a business like that. Now if they said small batches to ensure fresh product, that would be believable and laudable. As a matter of fact, for us Americans, that is what they are doing but with shipping and customs, American products aren’t quite fresh if they’re coming from Germany. Like you, I just don’t believe they are built to order in Germany.

Well my take was incorrect as I placed an order for 500mL of Polish Angel High Gloss with PolishAngel.us but it was shipped directly from Germany. Not sure if that happens for all products or all sizes of products and not sure if they truly mix it after ordering but if they are shipping from Germany, it is definitely possible. Looking forward to trying it.
