Sometime back budgetplan send me a bottle of theglossshop coating. ( thank you again ) I had planned on using it on the Buick that is always outside. With doctor visits in KC going into November. I didn`t see me getting it done on it. As slow as I am and the amount of prep it wasn`t going to happen this year. So worried about the shelf life, I decided to coat the Camaro. Less car to prep since no roof. The amount of prep needed was very minimal. I was never satisfied with the hood from past correction. So it did a two stage on it again. Including two stage on the vinyl decal. Then just for peace of mind I went over the rest of the car with just the hyper polish.
i was a bit worried about applying a coating. Using only one hand I thought I might be to slow to keep up with it. Second when wiping I can`t hold a light to make sure I have no high spots. For the light I dug out a headband light. It actually worked pretty well for me.
I didnt have have to worry about speed with this coating. The only parts I broke down were the bumpers, and the hood. The rest of the panels I applied to the whole panel before wiping them. Wiping was super easy, Took no real effort. That was yesterday, this morning I pulled the car out in the sun to see if I could find any high spots. I found one, so I applied some more coating to that spot rather heavy. Let it sit for about 3-4 minutes. Then leveled the spot. The high spot was now gone.
I then pulled the car car back in the garage and applied a second coat. Just in case I didn`t get good coverage somewhere. It went even quicker than the first coat.
Tomorrow I will pull the car out and take some pictures.
i had emailed Richard at e gloss shop awhile back about layering the coating. This was his response to that email.
Hi Kenneth,
Our coating can definitely be layered.
I recommend waiting 12 hours between layers if air drying to give time for bonding and solvent evaporation.
This time is very similar to paint sealant cure time. You will notice that each additional layer goes on and removes much easier than the initial.
You will also use less product. Two layers will ensure even coverage, but more than three is reaching waste of time and product.
When applying to glass please take note of recommended removal time of no more than two minutes. The coating becomes tacky and can be slightly tougher
to remove. Your second layer will be much easier than the first.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks,
Richard
