    Question about Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coatings

    Correct 3 years with no polishing. I do quite a few regular washes as well as using an APC for even IronX or TarX when needed. So I haven't really had any issue with traffic film. If you wash properly and regularly you should have this problem. It is a metallic grey VW so that paint is...

    Question about Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coatings

    I don’t think you are misunderstanding. But you have to also look at location and expectations of the people that have had issues as well. If you realize up front this is not a “force field” that will stop everything and it has its pros and cons just like a wax or sealant then you are halfway...

    Question about Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coatings

    I have not had any issues while washing as I make sure a thoroughly dry the vehicle. The times I had had some water spotting was when I had a dusty car it rain and then the sun came out and baked the dirty water spots in place over a few days or a week. The point of a coating IMO is to have...

    Question about Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coatings

    They absolutely can have water spot issues. The new version of CQUK is supposed to be better about that. I found the key is to get a full coats on as thick as possible let the car “bake” in the sun and then top it with Reload waiting as long as possible. The baking in the sun is somewhere in...

    Question about Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coatings

    If the paint is pure black I would use CQUK. I have had it on my wife car for over 3 years. If the paint is metallic I would look at CQ original. I had it on the same car for just over 2 years before I polished it off and went with CQUK when it came out. And honestly after the deacon the CQ...

    Question about Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coatings

    You are spot on. The paint coating has a v2 and is supposed to be better and formulated specificity for paint. The all surface coating is more of a general all around for paint, glass, trim. Having used both I didn’t see much difference. But I have never got the durability from these spray...

    Easiest to use Glass Coating

    I have used a number of glass sealants and coatings. The best overall glass coating I have used is the "Optimum Opti-Glass Coating" as it has the best durability vs wiper blades compared to other coatings. But stuff like the McKee’s 37 Glass Coating is so easy to apply I can do it once a month...

    Issues with CarPro Ech2o

    Ech2o is not a protection product. It is a waterless wash with gloss-enhancer. So think of it as a wash or QD product.

    Opti APC comparison

    Have you tried ONR mixed at the regular wash ratio? I use Megs QID for interiors most of the time as long as they are clean.

    Patented UV Protection - Optimum Car Wax - by Dr. Ghodoussi at Autogeek.com

    Yes you can use it as a drying aid. But just like other products the durability goes down a little as the added water dilutes it. I have found that if I do a quick drying pass with a towel or my MasterBlaster and the use OCW as a final wipe to clean up anything left over I get the best of both...

    Blk fire crystal seal application with suede coating block?

    The is just something about them I don't care for. While they work well for coating application they seem to load up to quickly and start just smear the product around. I have used some towels simlar to those. I have some older PakShack "Ultra Smooth" and "Silver Surfer" polish removal towels...

    Blk fire crystal seal application with suede coating block?

    If you use those for Crystal Seal I would not use them for anything else, especially a coating install. I personally only like these for coating application not removal.

    Blk fire crystal seal application with suede coating block?

    I don't see why it wouldn't work if you like that kind of applicator. Personally I use a MF block.
