9 Weeks to Win! (Week 4)

[Van185]

I have tried Pinnacle Black Label and like it pretty well Only used it one time about a month ago. So far it looks good.
Last year during the 9 week giveaway I won the Gtechniq Crystal Lacquer and it lasted about 8 months and developed a film over the paint and I had to strip it off and used a wax for now.
Will write a review and would love to try it out.

I`ve been using PBL v.1. I like the easy application. This was the first coating I have ever tried. I have been thinking about buying the V.2 but if I win this it will go on my Mothers car. Her car sits outside and Opti-Coat sounds like a good coating to try.

DP paint coat. Not what i expected. Short life span
DP glass coat. 10/10 . Glass never looked or repeled the elements better.
DP wheel coat 10/10. The real deal for wheels. MAMMOTH DURABILITY. And just soap & water to clean them.

Sweet giveaway.

First coating (not sure if you can call it that) was HD Nitro Seal. Looks beautiful, super glossy. Maintenance washes were a breeze, vehicle stayed cleaner between washes, protection was great, and was still going strong after a year. Only drawback was the application. Wasn`t the easiest thing I`ve applied and any high spots were a real bugger to knock down.

Second coating I used was Pinnacle Black Label V.1. Looks were good, but didn`t blow me away. Application could not have been easier and I love that you get several applications out of a bottle. Can`t comment on longevity as it was mainly other people`s cars I applied it to and the vehicle of my own that I applied it to I no longer have.


I`m up for trying any other coatings. My GTO would appreciate it ;-)

I`ve dabbled with a few coatings. Always excited to try new ones.

CarPro CQuartz - Great product. Easy application and great shine and durability. I`ve done countless customer`s cars with the classic formula.
CarPro CQuartz UK - Another one of my favorites. Just a bit trickier to apply in during the warmer parts of the year.
Pinnacle Black Label Paint Coating V1 - Had a little issue with high spots at first. Luckily I was able to level them. I like it now that I`m used to the application. Hoping to try V2 soon.
Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Surface Coating - My go to coating for wheels and glass.
BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating - A little tacky to apply, similar to CQuartz UK. Excellent product though. Nothing a decent coating veteran can`t handle.
GTechniq C1 - Similar to CQuartz UK in application. Even the bottle feels the same. Can be tricky to apply but still an excellent product. Have noticed 1.6 years of durability with no loss of beading.
Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 - Easy to apply and great protection, but I have found it to get contaminated a little easily on cars kept outdoors. Nothing a Nanoskin mitt decon can`t handle.

I agree to do a review of these products.


I have yet to try coatings. I am still new to the detailing game lol. Just learning polishing etc. I do have plans to apply a coating to my car eventually after a full correction. The combination of money and wanting to wait a while before I encorporate this into my business is another reason. But I can definitely find opportunities to use one if I win.

Pinnacle Black Label Coating, Carpro, Blackfire, and Optimum

I love to try the gloss coat on wife odyssey and will do review.

CarPro CQuartz UK - love coating but pain to apply sometime.

Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 - my fav coating so far but discontinue

[jrock645]

PBL v2. Did it to my moms car for her bday. Extremely easy to apply and the car looked great. Really strong water beading. I applied it 6 weeks ago so i cant speak to longevity. Very pleasant product to use, though.

I have yet to try out any coatings, I`ve been using Klasse AIO/SG for quite a while now but I`m really excited to try out some of the new stuff on the market. I`ve had my eye on Optimum Gloss Coat for a while now, I`m really excited to try it and possibly Cquartz in the future. Planning on doing a full correction on the wife`s new BMW 428i in the next few weeks and I`d love to do a full review on the Optimum coatings.

I`ll gladly do a review. I haven`t applied a coating as of yet, but Gloss Coat is at the top of my list for coatings I`d purchase.

[jtford95]

I haven`t tried any coatings also. I have alot of wax to use and just haven`t thought about it really. I would try the Optium Gloss Coat. I like there products and would give it a try

[BayAreaTech]

Gloss coat and Beeds are my preferred coatings as they are very forgiving in regards to application. My red cobra is in need of a polishing job and would be a great candidate to a review.

[cda555]

I have never used a coating before but I would love to try the Gloss Coat. I like to practice/test on my own car before I do anything else. My WRX has super soft paint so a coating would be perfect.
