Check out videos from Labocosmetica on the 2 pH wash. Also you can "clay" a coating with the right fine grade clay towel and an iron remover. I have done this without imparting marring. And in some instances you may need a water spot remover to remove any mineral deposits. Top up with the...

I have used V6 many times with no issues staining any sponge unless you had some type of oily substance on the surface. Use some APC and rinse it out and it will clean up. Idrosave and Gyeon are sponge stainers though. The new gold sponge is not that great and the more I use it, the less...

I would recommend you invest in Exo. Amplify does not last long on top of a coating especially when used as a drying aid.

Put Exo if you like hydrophobic’s. CSL is meh in that department.

One coating that gets lost in the mix is cquartz lite. Wipe on and wipe off. It is not that slick though. More of a smooth sensation. Comes in a large offering and can always be topped with Gliss if slickness is important. If not then ADS Phobic would be my choice if slickness is a top...

It can be done either way.

You could put all the coatings you listed side by side on white paint and it will be hard to discern any differences between them when it comes to appearance. Take it from someone who has owns a white car. One benefit the Adams coating has is the UV tracer which allows you to see that the...

Even with a coating it will still show scratches as those areas are just super soft. The best option is to PPF those areas if you wish to have them looking pretty much pristine all the time. A coating is the second option.

There are many different versions of ONR. But ONR V6 is still better than Griot's. Griot's did a good copy to make their version of an ONR clone.

I have been testing this side by side with another glass coating and at 11 months the Adams Glass Coating is doing just fine. Performing like day 1. Abrasion from the wipers will degrade any type of coating or sealant. The more they are used the faster the degradation. Another thing to...

In the CarPro facebook group, Corey has also recommended a panel wipe after using Essence even if used with a polisher. It says something when CarPro themselves recommends to not use Essence prior to DQuartz Go.

DIY App has almost zero cut. It’s not recommended to be used like a typical polish. It’s essentially the panel prep and to be used with a machine that has a stroke no larger that 8 mm. With the ghosting it is not like holograms or haze. Think of the idea of condensation when you breathe on a...

I started off with Gyeon And CarPro. Both are good but the thing to keep in mind is that both Gyeon and CarPro have come back to state to still panel wipe prior to applying a coating. Both have responded that the panel wipe will not remove any SiO2 left behind. Also keep in mind that these...

PPF them. The clarity of PPF lasts a long time.

Gtechniq revised their panel wipe not long ago and it is not as aggressive as it once was. A regular coating will do just fine. No need to use C2V3 or V4 after coating it. Exo is doing the job. You could also lightly polish PPF if need be to remove some defects but that will remove the top...
