Do you use a topper on your coating?

[acuRAS82]

There isn’t much option. Anything abrasive will remove everything including the coating.

If you couldn’t level out the existing streaks with the same product well your going to have to live with it until it goes away on its own.

The Guz is probably right, it usually works out that way.

But if you had any coating prep polish on hand you could try applying that lightly (no pressure, it’s non-abrasive) to see if it removes topper streaking. If the streaks are from a strong topper or the coating itself, I doubt they will go away but it could be worth a try. These should not have noticeable, negative impact on the coating itself. But I use coating prep polish fairly often, if you are only buying it to try removing the streaks and it doesn’t work out, don’t yell at me.

I had done a quick claying prior to laying down the initial ceramic coating. I decided that I would strip the coating from the hood and "start over" the right way for the hood.

Wash with CG Honeydew snow foam
Clay mitt
Machine polish with Meguiars Ultimate Polish
Clean off residue with Hydrosilex Rewind
Final polish with Carpro Essence
303 Graphene spray application

The streaks are gone, the hood is shiny and hydrophobic.

Of course, now I have a ceramic coating (with a claimed 3-year durability) on almost all of the car, with one-year durability for the graphene on the hood.

I figure that I`ll evaluate through next spring. If I like the graphene, I`ll do a real polish on the rest of the car to remove the ceramic - then apply graphene to get 12 months of protection.

If I don`t like the 303 Graphene, I`ll do a real polish to remove the ceramic - and use whatever ceramic (CQuartz UK 3.0?) is getting good reviews at that time to re-coat.

Of course, now I`m looking at that tube of Gyeon Q2 Wax in my box and wondering, "What happens if you put a wax topper with fluorine on top of a graphene-infused coating?"

You’ll get alot better beading i’m thinking. Haven’t seen a pic yet of 303 graphene beads anywhere near the contact angle of a true coating.

Although short lived Gyeon wax makes some tall beads... don’t roll of the car as easy though.

Wow! How`d you keep the trim so black?

Coated that too. Around the windows, that`s from a vinyl blackout kit. Needs to be redone, the vinyl unfortunately isn`t the same quality as the stuff pros use and isn`t early as durable.
