Paint Coating Booster Suggestions

I recently applied DP/Mckee`s paint coating a few weeks ago and love the look on my silver Infiniti G35X. Going over some posts and quite a few of you suggest applying a booster roughly about once a month. So I`m looking for some suggestions. Right now I`m looking at GYEON Cure and Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Coating Booster.

I`ve also thought about the Polish Angel Spritz`s but the high cost is of course holding me back. Don`t know if I can justify the cost and would it really make that big of a difference on a silver car.

Thanks in advance.
 
Another vote for Cure. Got it a couple months ago and it`s very easy to use and looks great. I gave my dad my other spray sealant type stuff after I got it.

If you want something at a lower price point you can look at Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer. It`s actually a spray wax type product. It has tremendous water shedding abilities and lasts a good amount of time. Only drawback is that it`s not "slick" and so many people like that quality.

Here`s BSD`s beading:

Then here is Ultima Acrylic Spray wax, just for comparison:

Both were applied over a coating.
 
cure would be a good choice

I have both that and PBL coating booster...

In My Experience with both products I honestly like PBL coating booster more but they are really close. I`d say cure probably wins for the price per ounce.

For the price of Cure, I`d be looking at GTECH C2V3 if I were you

just my 2 cents
 
Brandt, who makes "Cure"? Thanks.

I`ve got RELOAD and have had very good results with that one on CQUK. Always looking for that next purchase.
 
Angel Polish Spritz or High Gloss. I would use it as a drying aid. Especially if you are going to use it once a month. Using as a drying aid you will use less product without sacrificing the results. Will it make a difference on your silver car?? I literally just finished using it on my daughter`s Silver Veloster. All I can say is WOW. When a 21 year old girl says "WOW, what did you put on this?" That should tell you something. In all fairness the car hasn`t been coated yet, but I regularly use a combination of Menzerna Endless Shine and Uber Rinseless wash at QD dilution which leaves an incredible gloss...but nothing compared to High Gloss.

I`ve never needed a booster to get coatings to last 2 years. Actually on my own vehicle I tend to do them annually anyway. This recommendation is more for appearance, although IMO any sealant is going to help protect a coating therefore extending it`s life.

Another good old alternative to "boost the coating" would be Gtechniq C2v3 used 10:1 with distilled water as a drying aid. Gives the protection, easy to use, and very cost effective. Just make sure to wash any towels used immediately or they will never absorb water again.
 
I`ve been wanting to try some Overcoat for a while

that`s going on the top of my secret santa list this year

Hey there Handsome Mike. Why does it put it to shame?

Longer lasting, better water behavior/sheeting/beading, very self cleaning. Amazing stuff for sure, little goes a looooong way. My bottle lasted me all spring/ summer using about once a month, 3 cars.

This would make a great comparison test. There are so many good boosters available, and they are not cheap! A side by side test would be great. I would supply some TAC Systems Quartzmax to whoever wants to perform the test. I think the test should be limited to siO2 type boosters just to cut down on the number of entrants.
 
I just think it does what a coating maintenance product should do. It keeps water off the vehicle better than cure. Since us Americans like beading it does that better than cure, significantly better than reload!

i have cure, reload, c2v3, and radiance (si02 spray sealant)

I will probably end up buying a bottle of overcoat soon...if I can get quartzmax and overcoat from the same site I could do this test. I just hate paying shipping. lol
 
Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone. A lot of great info.

Should have asked this earlier with winter coming to CT soon. Has anyone used their preferred booster in less than ideal temperatures? When I`m doing a rinseless or waterless wash during the winter, the temps in my garage can vary anywhere between 40 and 50 degrees. When I was using a sealant I loved using Meguiars D156 X-press Spray Wax. That worked no matter what the temps.

Just guessing here, but if you doing it in garage 40-50 degrees, just apply it, remove excess and leave it for a while, should be fine.

Sorry, I don`t think of Essence Plus as a booster (spray and wipe).
It is touted as a "Top Coat Jeweler and Non-Abrasive Repair Agent"

Oh, I don`t think of it as a booster either.

I see it as essentially a si02 glaze for coatings and I want to try it out!
