My wife's car is going on its 26th month with DG enviro shield. Just washed it today. Still looks great, and beading away. Incredibly underrated and its WOWA.

There are products like Sonax easy shine that is a hand wipe AIO wax that has abrasives in it and is as easy to apply as a spray wax but has polishing ability and cleaners built in

FK1000p lasts 6-9 months. It's great in hot climates. It has a 240 degree flash point. Great on wheels too.

FK1000p is the sealant of sealants imo. It actually self cleans (sheds water and crud) as good as any coating I've tried. It actually bests coatings in the ability to prevent water spotting and etching. And if that's not good enough, it's $18. A tin will last years. In so far as the original...

It probably will strip a CG LSP product. [emoji6]

Never liked the micro suade application method. It's working against yourself imo.

Little red corvette.

Dr G of Optimum said once that in his opinion ONR was safer to use than any conventional car soap chemically speaking. He also went on to say that the reason his company still offered a conventional soap was that people enjoyed the experience.

Dust attraction is always an important variable.

What feels wrong...is having to drag out a hose, two buckets, foam and soap everywhere including on me, rinse and re-rinse...then clean it all up and put it all away. Throw a high pressure washer into the mix and even more stuff to mess with and trip over. Thanks Dr G for showing us all the light.

Essence is fast becoming a game changing product.

The over use of wax no matter paste, liquid, or spray will actually be counter productive if over used. A polymer spray booster product is much better if you're a waxaholic in so far as boosting your wax or sealant after every wash. Even better, is start washing with a carnuba based rinseless...

501 was designed for marine use on gel coat which is much harder to clean than auto clearcoats (requires stronger cleaning products). Hence its great cleaning ability.

The Complete Polish is marketed for HAND use, which would indicate that you could apply this quickly to wipe out any existing wax while refreshing the paint to receive another application of wax or sealant. Adams had a product like this years ago called REVIVE polish that was exactly the same...

Carpro reload is a love or hate product imo. It's not consistent and they've reformulated once already just so people could tolerate it. Frankly If it wasn't for its use as a topper for their coatings, it would long be forgotten as there are much easier spray on sealants such as prima hydro max...

Sounds like a negative reaction of some product with the coating. Good luck in trying to figure that out. Rule of thumb with these coatings is only use what the manufacturer recommends from polish to prep, from washing to maintaining. This ain't wax

Is there a negative to overusing reload? It seems that products with a 3 month duration being used weekly like detail spray is not the best use of those products

If you coat you're stuck with the result for a couple of years unless you abraid the coating off. You don't sound like a coating candidate.

Imo I don't apply anything that doesn't put some kind of protection back. Anytime you wipe the paint you're removing something. I include washing in that way too.

Ski2...perfectly said. It's self cleaning and sheeting ability are indeed like that of a coating. Looks great too.
