    Re: Whats on your ride?

    I`m with most of the people here. It`s not just one thing and it changes over time. I voted "sealant" because many of my vehicles (I`m a bit of a vehicle guy) have at least some form of sealant on them - among other things.

    I used to be a wax person. Now I`m more of a sealant kind of guy, though I use coatings on my wheels - except when I use a sealant<g>!

    Currently have prima hydro max topped with 2 coats of souvern wax. I cant deny the look. It really has that 3-D look on the paint!

    Re: Whats on your ride?

    2002 QX4 Bird Poop, need to clean and polish that and coat that sucker. Just deciding in what to use, EXO bc I know it or Cquartz UK to try something new?

    2009 MDX-Opti-Coat almost 2 years and it looks great, still easy to clean and I only wish the beading were tighter.

    2012 Subaru-OptiCoat Same time and results.

    Note both of the above were opticoated bc my wife and son don`t care for their cars and I was looking for reduced maintenance. Mission accomplished.

    2013 M37X Sport-EXO v2- looking good and wearing well.

    Re: Whats on your ride?

    Currently I have GTechniq C1 topped with multiple coats of GTechniq EXOv2. I continue to add coats of EXOv2 every quarter or so (more like when I have time to) and love it. It allows me to still work on the car, unlike Opti-Coat and some others (I used to have it but took it off because I didn`t care for the look) while having the long-term protection that I really wanted for this stage. Love the combo and wouldn`t trade it for a lot of the other options on the market today.

    I do that as well sometimes. The sealant seems to keep the bugs from sticking to the front clip in my experience.

    I note that you have coated wheels with either OptiCoat or PBL Surface Coating. I am pretty new to coatings, but I just used PBLSC on the wheels of one car (the rest all are sealed with Zaino CS). It went on easily, but I am not thrilled with the look. (Could be the wheels, though). How do you find PBLSC compared to OptiCoat for use on wheels?

    Thanks!

    In my opinion Opti-Coat is the best & longest lasting coating especially for wheels. I you are going to go through the whole process to clean and prep wheels for a coating I would suggest OC.

    PBL Surface Coating is working good, but it is more of a long life sealant to me at this point. For the amount of work required I will most likely go back to using BF Metal Sealant to top up my wheels as I can apply it post wash and get 2+ months durability. And it gives me something to do.
