    Do what you want, but you`ll grow tired of just washing your car. Its not enough alone time to satisfy

    How long does it take you to wash your car and get it looking like you like it?

    I am leaning more to a sealant/wax combo.

    The less "rubbing" on the paint, the better the chances to mimimalize marring. Plus the looks of Gloss Coat are just as good as any other LSP. Win/Win

    coat that paint please and save the CC. like other have said better protection and if by chance you get some marring or swirls the coating is your sacrificial layer.
    just when you think you have your system down pat, you learn something new.

    This task is not burdensome to me, I enjoy washing and waxing it and it doesn`t take long at all, it always has several layers of protection so the dirt comes right off. See the dilemma is I know coatings offer the best protection, but I enjoy putting a nice glaze and nuba on this car and it doesn`t take much effort. My daily drivers are coated because they are outside 24/7.

    I know, I know but the dilemma is amore about doing a nice rinseless in the garage and topping it with a fresh coat of glaze or nuba and then taking it out for a blast. Besides I am not too worried about swirls, my previous 10 GT500 was corrected and maintained several years with no swirls.

    Re: To Opti-Gloss Coat or not?

    My observations:

    - You don`t mind washing (low maintenance)
    - Its a garage queen (it is protected from outdoor weather)
    - You don`t drive it much (minimum mileage outdoor)
    - Paint is already corrected giving it amazing gloss (prep`ed for any LSP)
    - One read I review claimed opti-gloss coat didn`t deliver a gloss finish (no added gloss)

    In that case, use whatever LSP you like and apply it often when you wash.
