Mothers Top Coat...

Got a sample of this from Alex Ruiz and used it on my mom's teal Camaro. the car had liguid 26 and WAUD on it and I applied the Top Coat over it. The top coat went on easy and buffed off very easily as well. After buffing I noticed that the teal had taken on a brighter look vs the 26/WAUD combo. It doesn't seem quite as glossy as NXT is initially and it doesn't have the plasticky look of NXT. I actually expected it to be a bit darker looking than it was. The depth is very good. IMO this would be very nice on bright colors such as red, yellow or orange. Doesn't appear to white out under harsh lighting either. Good OTC product but IMO there are other products that produce a darker richer look if that's what you prefer.

I also used the new reflections(not Top Coat) over 3 month old NXT on our pewter van-no prep. It applies as easily as the Top Coat but seems a bit thicker in nature-like a thin hand cream and applies thinly and easily. It removes as easily as well. these are the easiest products to remove I've used. Upon removal I could see the results of the mild cleaning action as the residue had a dirty tinge to it. The look was neutral in nature,very slick with high gloss-not as blingy as NXT. On pewter Reflections was slightly lighter in nature than liquid 26. A very nice reflective look on pewter. Very impressive for an OTC product.

update: the Top Coat seems to improve its looks over a period of several hours as it cures
