Thanks man---the process was time consuming but really easy to apply and take off, its been in the garage since Sat letting the sealant cure the best it can. I really hope this stuff makes for that real gritty feeling just fall off when water hits it, usually on my other cars no matter what wax I use the paint feels like sandpaper after a while on the messy roads when they get wet and slushy and the only way to make the paint smooth again is clay bar it.

Quick look at IGL Quartz and 22ple side-by-side

Nothing done since 01-01-2017 application except for drving around in the NE Ohio Winter; lotsa salt and brine laid down on the road so far this year. No real conclusions drawn from these pics as just happened to walk by van in warehouse this morning, figr`d I`d snap some pics. Strip in the middle is untouched after compound/polish. Apparently it`s quite funny to watch while driving in rain and left side sheets, right side sheets and untouched middle just kinda `exists`.

Not sure that how that would go...got any granite countertops? Works very nicely on those as well. Solid surface shower walls? Easy cleaning...touch up with Overcoat.

Looking forward to following how that roof goes. Thanks for doing this.

No problem...interesting stuff. Should I do a second coat of McKees?

Up to you.....my interest is really on the maintenance products going head to head. I don`t know how you are going to `track` it though. Don`t those trucks go out for the spring and summer without coming back? Or is this one parked at the business at night?
Re: Think I`m done messing around with coatings, final thoughts...
Nice work budgetplan!
Do you apply mohs on the trim aswell? Has the TRC wizard a lower nap than the polish wipe?
Fun to do some testing side by side as you are doing to the roof. Will be intresting to see your thoughts about them after a while :)

Most show up each morning after their early jobs so I`ll get to see it with some regularity.
I`ll ponder a second coat; question of motivation and timing. Climbing up there (pallet `work platform` strapped VERY securely on towmotor, only about 2` up...cuz I got long moneky arms) is still a bit arduous to arrange if I need to use the towmoter for, you know, actual work or something between second coat and booster application. I strap that thing on there (with 2x4 railings) like nobody`s business.

Thank you...always an adventure.
The wizard is a longer (medium) nap that the Gyeon PolishWipe:

The Rag Company Edgeless WIZARD is a medium pile, plush microfiber detailing towel designed from the same South Korean AA-Grade 70/30 blend microfiber (highest available) as the best-selling EAGLE 600 Edgeless towel into a lower pile polishing towel. The WIZARD creates itself a niche in the towel market by offering you an intermediate towel in between a low-pile, short-nap towel and a longer-nap, super-soft towel.
Well, heck...we *know* what`s gonna win the roof battle between Kamikaze, 22ple and HydroSilex, don`t we? ;)

Good feedback on syncro. The slickness of skin is great.
After a few washes it’s slickness has stayed around. Really nice water behavior in the rain and so far the self cleaning behavior is good.
I still don’t know if I will use cure or just wash and leave it as is.
