Hi All

Just wondering between the two which was the preferred one from a looks and water behavior perspective? Durability of one year is enough for me as personal cars I give an annual polish regardless so as to maintain appearances.

I currently have CQ Classic,UK, TAC Shine and a few other prototype coatings I have used and none appeal to me in the looks department. They don’t seem to add much after correction like carnauba’s do.
 
Try liquid crystal c2v3. It's 8 months but it's high up in the looks department
 
Cosmic V2 has given me the best "looks" of any LSP I have ever used. I currently have it on my Corvette, which is a sun and fun car only and is stored for 5 months out of the year so I can't really comment on durability, but I applied it in the spring of '17 and will likely just maintain it through this summer's driving season. Cosmic V2 with an occasional Cosmic Spritz topper looks just amazing. The water beading is great.

I've never used CSL, so I can't make any comparison comments...

You would not be disappointed with PA Cosmic V2.

I’m talking more about actual, hard 9H coatings not toppers. Currently am happy with my Reload/Ech20 mix so not too interested in looking elsewhere from a spray sealant wipe on wipe off perspective. My post is more wanting answers from those experienced with either or both CSL or Cosmic V2 where I’m hoping someone on here will state XXX was noticeably glossier than YYY or XXX sure did add something extra to the paint after correction.

That is exactly the type of response I am looking for. Would you say Cosmic V2 on its own looked better or Spritz added something ontop?

Also can I add the carnaubaflockencreme ontop Cosmic V2 or the Gold Zirkon would be better or Cosmic V2 on its own would be enough?

As you can see I am purely chasing gloss.

For pure gloss, Cosmic V2 on it's own with a topper of Cosmic Spritz when it needs a slight refresh is the ticket. I would start out with just V2 and you will be quite happy. My Corvette is dark (navy) blue and with just Cosmic V2 the gloss is outstanding. I used multiple coats of Zaino Z2 and Z5 on the car for years (it's a 2001 that I purchased new), and I definitely prefer the look of Cosmic. The bling is outstanding.

I also have a black (non-metallic) '70 Riviera show car that I've used Cosmic V2 topped with Black Wulfenite on, which I have to say muted the gloss a bit. I also have Gold Zirkon and Blue Xilion, but I have not used either of these to top Cosmic V2. For strictly the best gloss go with Cosmic V2 neat...

Great stuff! Did you apply one or 2 coats of V2?

Also anyone have experience with Master Sealant?

Two coats. I think PA recommends a minimum of two or more. There is also a specific PA primer that's required for Cosmic. It is extremely easy to use with no fear of "high spots." It's really more like applying a sealant than other ceramic coatings. If you can put wax on your car you can apply Cosmic V2 with no issues.
 
To be honest, PA's overall system is probably one of the best for looks. Two coats of Cosmic, and then with Cosmic Spritz sprayed on is probably one of the best combinations you can get.
 
Any experience with Master Sealant? I am looking at Cosmic V2, Master Sealant and Carnaubaflockencreme Famous to purchase just not sure how all these 3 fit together or should be used seperately?

Do you want gloss or an application method. You just said yourself those type of coatings don't add much in the looks department. Then your not even supposed to top them that much. No car is going to look it's best/ glossyest after not being topped after 4-6 weeks. U want gloss u gotta be on it all the time.

Collinite 915 held its gloss for 6 months, as did Essence,Essence Plus,Reload combo as did WGDGPS 3.0(all of which are superior in looks to any coating I have used). I know PA’s durability claims are far fetched but if their pricy products I have singled out can give me 6 months too as opposed to the 12-15 month claims I am more than content.

Totally different products

I have all of them.

I'd suggest reading the manufacturers descriptions and uses, it's all posted on AG's product descriptions.

From your experience which gave the best look? If you had to put them in order of gloss 1-3 with 1 being the highest.

Personally, I don't think PA's durability claims are any more far fetched than any other makers products I have used. :cheers:

Like a sealant, that's the beauty of it, then you let it dry and just wipe it off. As I've mentioned before, this stuff goes a long way. I used very little. That's a 4" BS pad on my Duetto. The pad gets saturated and you need less and less as you go along.

It goes on like a liquid wax or a sealant. A very creamy consistency. It can be applied by hand with a foam applicator (which PA includes in the kit), or machine applied as custmsprty does. I use my GG3 with a LC 3.5" ThinPro red waxing pad to apply both Cosmic and Viking Coat. Works very well and minimal product is needed.
 
PA Master Sealant with 3 layers of High Gloss Spray applied in October is still going quite strong on my personal car. And we've had an unusually long and wet winter. It's been very durable for me. High Gloss spray is just amazing looking. Beads, sheets and repels dirt better than Reload. No contest for me.

I want to try the Carnaubaflockencreme Famous with its special primer next. Sounds like that will have the best looks
