Lol... I have nothing against hydro silex as it still beads awesome after to months. It’s retired going to a neighbor. I got a 16oz reload that came with my Cquk3. Won’t use. Ordered a gallon of clutch knowing I have a problem. Ordered cancoat as a stronger sacrificial layer to use maybe every 6 months. Just received my 500ml bottle of cosmic spritz. Wanted to compare moonlight (I know) to cancoat but luckily wasn’t available..... then they email me with a discount. I’m hoping toppers aren’t a gateway into full blown coatings. I fight the urge daily to not order overcoat as it will probably lead to trading my cquartz and ordering some zipang and Miyabi..... is their a hotline I can call?.........lol

Anyone try 22ple Final Coat, and any thoughts on it vs the 3 discussed in this thread?

It`s quite nice. IMO, just a bit behind Overcoat and Cosmic as far as water behavior but very easy to work with and great results and a lesser cost.

Member gflnaz is a VS1 expert, mighta been his favorite for quite some time...until he ran into IGL Premier, anyway.

Yes I go to Topper Anonymous Meetings 3x per week.
22PLE Final Coat is a poor man`s OverCoat. Good stuff, simple to use. But `Expert`, nope. Not me. I am more of a victim of the disease.
I will hereby declare (IMHO) that IGL Premier is NOT a topper. It`s a 6 month coating that can be used as a topper. I like it. Did the wife`s car yesterday.
AS always when I post: YMMV...

Would IGL tank in the same echelon of looks as Overcoat/Cosmic/High Gloss? I know it’s subjective, but fun to ask.

It`s got a lot of nice shine to it. It really impresses me. PLUS it is zero VOC too.

Can I get that number to TA? “One coat at a time”

In one of my threads there are pictures of side by side by sides of Overcoat and IGL and I couldn’t tell any difference the next day. Overcoat looks like a good carnauba upon application, but after curing it falls back to the pack. Right now I’ve got Overcoat and IGL half and half on a car’s roof and can’t tell one from another. I’m just waiting to see which one quits first or if I’ll finally get tired of waiting and polish it off.

I responded to your post, you probably didn`t see it-- what date did you apply IGL?
It`s a GREAT test. Thanks for doing it!

Wow and IGL half the price for double the amount on sale. Application?

I spray a few shots on a damp towel and apply evenly. The damp towel keeps you from using too much product and the towel doesn’t absorb all the product. This works for most spray type products. I buff right away with a clean mf towel.

Did Cosmic or Viking last longer on your 4th test, i.e. are they going as long on the hood as Overcoat and IGL are on the roof?

I polished off Cosmic and Viking in order to test other products. I believe they would last as long as Overcoat and Premier though. High Gloss doesn’t seem to have the longetivity of the others, not sure why.
