I'm not snapping at anyone. I'm just giving my opinion and supporting said opinion with info and breaking it down to how it would be if a commonly held belief was applied to other products vs. giving opinion without any support. Yes, think.... If YOU read any attitude into my commemts...

If my views supported marketing, would you consider it argumentative? I come from a science background. If a theory is questionable and unsupported by data, you question it. Yes, I'm skeptic of marketing claims.

Is there any proof of that? There is a reason why you put the longest lasting lsp on the bottom. If not, then you could put a wax on first and a sealant on top and the sealant would make the wax last longer than the sealant, but it doesn't work that way. By using your theory, you could do the...

400 with a mf pad finishes like a polish. You'll probably find you only need 1 step with it.

Most economical would be to let the McKee's coating work without a topper, then reapply after if breaks down.

I don't put anything on my coatings. Keep it clean and enjoy the benefits of a coating, one of which is not having to continually reapply a lsp.

For the original question. I really like coatings. I'm not one that wants to rub an lsp on my car after every wash. I have too many other things to do. I also let my coatings be coatings, aka I don't boost/top them. I treat them like a clear coat with the exception of polishing, or adding...

Would using essence really be reviving the CQUK, or more of a "remove and replace" since its like using an all in one?

I'd polish the panel and recoat.

Depends on the pressure sprayer. I have several, give them specific duties, amd label them ex) house pesticides, plant pesticides/fungicides, foliar fertilizers, water, herbicides, and then some for car stuff. Last one I used on a car, I put ironx in it. I keep most of them cleaned and empty...

Had one do this in May. One of my neices was running it on her car so I just figured it was bumping against an emblem, and that could have very well be the issue that time. I'll definately watch for future issues though.

I never said it was a sham. The problem is that people are not using it for it's intended purpose, to touch the car once and move on when doing production details. Instead they are using it as a polish, going back and messing with it more, jumping on the bandwagon saying speed is a superior aio...

And thats polishing is all you are doing with the speed. Moot point on your part.

How is it superior as an aio? It only does half the job well. The whole purpose of an aio is to correct and apply an lsp ALL IN ONE step. Not correct, then go back and top because the sealant doesn't last. Thats 2 steps. When anyone using it says you have to top for durability, they are in...

Who said compound and polish? Just polish if you are only using an aio and then going back and topping. AIO's tend to be low on the cutting scale of even polishes so chanced are you'll have better results in fewer passes saving time. You're already re-topping speed so that time could be used...
