FYI Cquartz will be releasing an updated version of UK in the next few weeks if you want to give it a try.

Saw that on their FB feed, their version of Syncro perhaps? Address the lack of slickness and feel that Cquartz lacks on it`s own?

I’ve decided to go with Miyabi and ISM on my new car.

I don`t think so. Sounds like it is still going to be a stand alone coating with some tweaks to improve it`s overall performance. Corey sort of confirmed this in the CarPro facebook group. I guess if someone want`s Syncro level they would need to use Gliss but that is more like Booster.

I`ve been kinda keeping up all along but wondered if there was a summation post somewhere in the last several pages on cost and longevity along with ease of application. I have a friend who is wanting his white C6 coated this spring. I have used Cquartz products on my own but was leaning toward 22ple HPC for his or sticking with Cquartz since thats what I`m familiar with. Anything newer and better?
Thanks for Keeping this one going.

Here`s a summary of when they were applied and when they were `refreshed`. Regarding 22ple HPC specifically, it`s still solid as can be, still stays remarkably clean. Applied 03/30/2017, refreshed in November 2017 (20K miles perhaps, rarely garaged, run thru touchless soap/rinse only washed maybe 3 times.) with 22ple Glass Coat Clay, topped with 22ple Finitura...the stuff is just plain *GOOD*. Cquartz is still quietly doing nicely, always looks clean as well. My top choice is still the Kamkiaze combo as it has a deeper, warmer glow, especially on dark paint and the ISM portion of it really `floats` metallic in a really mesmerizing (to me) kinda way. It`s a more complex look than the molten glass gloss of 22ple. Add to the fact that the 22ple was, bay far, the easiest coating I`ve used knocks it up a notch or two as well.

Any of the VAN or RANGER vehicles below rarely, if ever, see a wash and most sit outside 97% of the time. To be quite honest, of all the products I have used, NONE were poor with regards to performance although my Crystal Serum Light truck stays the least clean, followed by Pearl Nano. Kamikaze and 22ple are really amazing at how clean they stay with little effort.

Try 22ple HPC; I could probably tape an applicator to my cats paw, let him run around on the paint, come back 20 minutes later and buff off with no issues. Stuff actually hazes a bit when time to buff off. 15 minute working time, I applied to the entire side of a Ford Transit Extended van, came back and buffed off with no issues. Just don`t use the 22ple applicator, that thing is junk.

[nickclark08]

I`ve been following along since the start, and I appreciate your recommendations.

At some point, we will get a larger / newer vehicle for the wife. No doubt, it will be polished and coated. I`d do it to the wife`s car now but paint on that is flaking clearcoat in places and almost there in others.

I`ve been doing some research and reading along to find a solid choice... mainly for sheer ease of maintenance and durability

Still not decided. sounds like this 22ple is probably up my alley in terms of ease of application etc. More reading to do!

Tough call. The application and removal process varies but in most cases it is the same. If you are happy with cquartz stick with that. They also released their coating topper Gliss if you wish to experiment with that. CarPro will be releasing and updated formula to UK in the next few weeks.

If you have the desire to try something new, well then give something else a try. There is no shortage of coatings lol.

First coat of HPC went on a couple hours ago (24hrs after Primer app). Thanks to you I used CarPro block with the suede clothes. I guess the Gyeon Primer may have something to do with it, but it hazed much quicker than I expected based on everything I have read. Still a breeze compared to anything else I have used just different feel first few passes.

Thank you BudgetPlan1 and The Guz...

Noticed Optimum Gloss coat missing from the list. Intentional or just been overlooked as a coating?
