You know what, I top everything and when my "new to me" car gets coated it will get initial toppings from TAC system, same brand as the coating and many coats of Poly Gloss too!

TAC system Power Plus, 70% Sio2 and later on down the road I'll top it with Moonlight and/or 1 step Master, all are outstanding products. Moonlight is 50% Sio2 and 1 step Master is at 25% Sio2, they even have a product called Quartz Max @ 5% Sio2, basically a maintenance topper compared to Moonlight and 1 step Master. They're finally in the U.S.

One step seems interesting. Got a lot of product to go through though. Have to resist urges. Moonlight still out of stock. Love that they have it as their most popular product on their home page but never seem to have it in stock... lol

It sucks that it's out of stock but that might just tell you something

I've been very pleased with the performance of all the TAC system products except their WW, not very good at all. The self cleaning abilities of the coating and toppers are truely incredible, can't wait to "get after it" on the new car once the weather breaks because when combined with the new 303 surface enhancement products I've been using, that blue paint is going to look incredible!!

It appears that Moonlight is 25% SiO2 according to their product description, still pretty impressive. It just didn't work well for me, however I may be the only one in the world as it is pretty much universally praised, huge love in the UK. Maybe give it another go some day; the initial water behavior was crazy, didn't even need to get up to speed to clear wet hood, just needed to turn left and the raindrops slid off to the right. Just really didn't stay clean after a rainstorm when vehicle was stationary :shrug:

TACSystem’s MoonLight Coating
Product Description: Moonlight is an oil-based topical maintenance coating, containing 25% SiO2. Moonlight lasts up to 9 months while greatly enhancing gloss to vehicle surfaces. While primarily used as a topper to SiO2 coatings, Moonlight functions as a highly durable stand alone coating. A deep gloss with SiO2 protection that lasts up to twice as long as traditional waxes and sealants, Moonlight helps vehicles maintain that ‘just detailed’ look.

I’ve got the One Step Master but never have used it. It’s a strange product and there is nothing like it. A paste 25% SiO2 product. I really like Moonlight, easy on and easy off. I’ve been really happy with all of TAC Systems products. I keep hoping PBMG will start selling them. I really like their Topcoat too except it comes in a huge bottle and goes bad before you can use it up unless you are a Pro doing many vehicles a week. I would split a bottle with someone.

Time to use the mousse that is 1 step Master!

How I and another on this forum got it is to email them. They’ll email you when in stock. Both times sold out within 24 hours.

If you search their site, a lot of things only available in small (50ml sometimes). Even though the show picks of gallons. I was going to order their eraser type product but only available in 50 ml at the time. I don’t think they could keep up with demand if PBMG sold them

Far as I read into it master sealant is meant to be topper that you can use as stand alone. Moonlight is made to be a stand alone?

After my 2 coats of cquk3.... gonna 50/50 the hood with cancoat and moonlight. Side genders too for vertical performance.

If you're continuously topping a coating then you're not really getting any durability results from the coating, but from all those toppers on the coating. A 10 month or however long review of a coating without anything on top except for washing would be a proper way to test it's durability.

Been reading this thread with great interest. This is really a relevant point. Can't you take any product and apply a competent topping on a regular basis and it will offer the same results?

Absolutely. Makes perfect sense. I just pointed out that Pan was not conducting that test. He was just giving us an update on how his coating on a personal vehichle. He was just giving full disclosure as to how HE was maintaining HIS car. I don’t think I need to defend a grown man but don’t ever think he said this is result of 10 month durability test of coating only.

If it were a normal geek I don’t think he catch the heat that he does. He’s got a name in the detailing world and weather you love or hate his content. Right is right wrong is wrong. He’s just trying to put out videos to maybe help some people who find his content useful and hopefully make some dough along the way.

Everyone talks $#\t bout the Kardashians but hey gotta be ALOT of people who do find em useful and enjoyable they’re every where.

And Pan, sorry for comparing you to the Kardashian’s (Pan CARdshian?) just trying to make a point. Also remember whether the love you or hate you.... it’s the same thing just other side of the same coin.

And las, Beadmaker.

Hehehe no worries. And yes, it's nice to see you also understood the point of my video. A 10-month update on the state of my coating after me taking care of it for 10 months, using my methods and products, just like anyone who likes their car would. There was no flashy title or click bait, and no drama was to come of it. Yet somehow, some still find a way to stir the pot lol. That's the internet for you. I have received much love from AG forum members in private messages telling me I should just block one or two of the more negative members, as they have done. That was great advice. I'll see if I put it to use.

Have a great day!

Speaking of topping...laid down 303 Touchless sealant about 2 weeks ago, then applied Beadmaker and just tonight...Griot's Garage foaming Poly Gloss and guess what, I don't care, LOL

That would seem to make perfect sense and kinda what I always assumed...however I have noticed something in our limited Spring so far this year.

2 cars with same coating/topper 'package'.

Both cars recently got the same 'get rid of Winter Wash'; Foam, wash, Tar, wash, Iron, wash, topper applied.

Car 1 had coating applied 10/2016, 17k miles ago, local trips only, no heavy driving use, sits outside 24/7 for 9 months a year.

Car 2 had coating applied, July 2017, 37k miles ago, nearly all freeway driving, heavy usage, hard miles, garaged each night.

After recent Spring washes, topper applied in a somewhat liberal fashion. So now we have 2 cars, with the same topper as top/exposed layer. Car 1, whose 'fresher' (albeit older) coating has performed better than Car 2 in similar circumstances since Spring decon.

Now 'better' is kinda hard to quantify but driving both in the rain (and then letting air dry) it's noticeably apparent that Car 1 is in better shape, coating/booster-wise, than Car 2 whose coating is more worn by heavy use.

I would think they'd both perform similarily since the top layer is the fresh application of the topper...but they don't.

Its plain to see (in little ways) that Car 2 needs to be re-done while Car 1 could go another year. But since the most recent application of the booster is currently doing the 'heavy lifting', shouldnt they both be doing equally as well? I havent a clue as to the possibilities yet it is what it is...

Totally! Unfortunately, it was also a sad moment as the Montreal Canadians couldn't make the playoffs.

I'm still watching the game and Poehling, his first game, has just scored a hatrick and it hasn't happened for the Habs since 1943, incredible!

OT coming up...more Bob Cole thanks to the lack of D or the abudent OHH-fense
