SiC is Silica Carbide. It's basically what's used in the Optimum line of coatings. SiC is formed as part of the bonding process to the paint, not really SiO2 which is just in the product itself to be applied, that relies on the resin on. What's it's relation to siloxane? Siloxane is just a form...

Pretty much. Biggest difference between "spray coatings" and "true coatings" is actually the liquid bonding agent and carrier solvent. The bonding agent and carrier solvent needs to be strong enough to hold whatever protection agent they use soluble such as SiO2, SiC, PDMS, whatever, all mixed...

You can top one with the other, it won't really make a difference either way to be honest. Spray Wax is carnauba and PDMS mixed together, seal & shine is PDMS only. They also use similar solvents so basically.. it depends on what's already on the paint. Carnauba might look better on top though...

In terms of compounding and not needing to compound, a chemical break down of the item in comparison might give some hints and be revealing. Turtle Wax Hybrid Spray Coating uses IPA as the only solvent in the product. By comparison, Reload has two different kinds of siloxane, naptha, methanol...

Hey Mike, I've seen this from when people sneeze onto the windshield and this develops. I don't know if it's mold or old bacteria.

I would love to see those coatings in an actual glass bottle that you can just pour onto a suede block instead.

+1 for Optiseal. To be honest, it does protect quite well but it does not give the same kind of "pop" that a lot of other ones will. I find a lot of Optimum products are like that, it's not the showiest of products but they do work quite well. But another big plus for Optiseal, if you use it...

For quick detail spray, they do make adjustments in the formula for things like silicone or things like it that form something that reflects light. Kind of like red paint will be shiney but red paint with gold flecks will give an extra pop.

What do you have already available?

If it's gloss vinyl, treat it like paint pretty much. Just be gentle with it, most finishing polishes should correct just fine.

Need to polish your car with at least a finishing polish. Guarantees you clean clearcoat for the coating to bond to. Here are the normal steps for a coating job Wash Decontaminate Polish Paint prep Coat Enjoy. First suede you use, you need to prime it a little and do a clear line of product...

Well the half ounce would be 1 to 32. Quick detailer and waterless wash are the same in method of execution but different in the wash solution. Honestly if you're using distilled water, 1 to 32 wont cause you any issues. I wouldnt really call anything to do with onr a quick detailer, it doesnt...

Makes me wonder, almost makes perfect sense that wood furniture wax worked so well. Who would've thought lol

Dont need to fit a bucket. Just have two 16 ounce bottles of ONR diluted for waterless wash. Basically half an ounce per bottle or so. You'll be good to go. Quick retailers have glossing agents in them that's why they give a pop.

Echoing what others have said, 30ml of liquid coating is enough for two cots around any personal vehicle. Maybe application process or something here.

Oddly enough Mike, if the paint code for his car starts with an L, it is indeed the old style nitrocellulose paint. Depends on his paint code. Lotus used it for his year for whatever reason.

ONR dilute it to waterless wash ratios and use that. People ruin their finishes at car shows with detailing spray what is essentially a wash worth of dust.

SC John Paste Wax is actually a mix of carnauba, paraffin wax, as well as microcrystalline wax which is a wax byproduct of distilling petroleum based products. The "cleaning agent" in it is mineral spirits. It also contains 1,2,4-trimethybenzene which long story short, is a light reflecting...

I like cancoat but I really don't like the spray method for coating containers. Maybe it's just me and I'm too used to the suede cloth and block and then dribbling product on?

He's such a beautiful dog Justin. She likes to pose for the camera. Both my dogs having a nap together. We got the white Sheppard and the other is a bijon mix of some kind. Sad story, she was the runt of the litter and was born with not great eye sight. At the time if my wife hadn't taken...
