It can be used on any coating, or uncoated surface. Fantastic product.

The Gyeon Bathe + also tops off the surface with each wash. I just tried it today and am super happy with the product. Excellent foam, slippery surface and leaves a look like the car was just coated or sealed.

I've read a lot of issues with streaking with Reload. I know there have been three different versions I believe, and of course I'm sure some has to be operator error.
Have you had any problem with any of the formulas streaking??

Polish angel applies like a wax, and removes the same as well. The kamikazi coating has a long flash time about 10 minutes. It is also super easy to use and almost impossible to screw up.

Kamakazi sounds kind of like 22ple. I love everything about C1/EXO except the application. You have the time window between C1 and EXO and that window is affected greatly by temperature and humidity. Definitely one of the tougher applications. Anxious to try the Crystal Serum, may not be on my car though. Just ordered Color specific Cosmic. Maybe just a gimmick, it will be interesting to see if I notice any difference. I'm assuming there would be more of a difference with red, yellow, etc.

I should do the wheels, but I'm lazy.

For the paint, i like the glass effect of a polymer better.

Hey Glen,
If you want to try the CarPro Essence before the CQuartz let me know. I have plenty. I would be more than happy to send you a sample bottle. I've read really positive things oin this product. I'm not going to be using the CQuartz I have for another month of so. I'm backed up four vehicles right now and none of them are getting the CQuartz.

Thanks, im good for now, like a lot of other people, i gotta use up some stuff before i re-up, thats why ive used menzerna recenty, to get it off my shelf!

I have only used overcoat. I was so impressed with the product, I jumped over to the lines that esoteric carries. That said there are so many good product lines out there it is a black hole. I wanted to slim down my supplies . The overcoat is good for coated cars as well as waxed or sealed, or no Lsp. Works for all.

Car looks great!!!

Tell me about it. I think I have 6 different coatings. More compounds, sealants, polishes than I know what to do with lol. Always in search of that perfect product. Actually I've got the polishes and compounds narrowed down some.
I've read a lot of good things abou Kamakazi. I may try top coat. I ordered 22ple Final coat to use with their coatings and as much as I like their coatings Final coat way to much of a hassle to use.
I'm interested in seeinghow Polish Angel spritzes work.

I was on the fence with Polish Angel. I have a friend that uses it and it really is a great product, and so easy to use. I choose Kamikaze for longevity reasons as the reported life is a bit longer than PA as reported by the "forums". I do think I will try it sometime on another vehicle. My Z sits in the garage most of the time, so any coating will probably last the time claims.

The Blackfire coating is also good and has a decent price, howeved the shelf life is short. I used it on my wifes car, and a month later went to do my company vehicle.
I was like spreading glue around and a huge pain to remove. I had to use fg400 to remove the mess. Its a good coating but you can't let it sit, you have to use it up.

I'm not sure how well the PA coating sprays work with other manufacturers products, but I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. If it doesn't work well try the overcoat. Or try them both.



Here is the Gyeon Bathe+ which helps keep the coating topped off a bit also.

I've used the Blackfire coating. I think I still have two unopened bottles. I bought two when they were on BOGO for 39.99, then got a bottle of it and an 8 oz jar of Pinnacle Souvern when I joined Autopia Connect. Then I got another free bottle for a free gift or something. I've actually got a bottle right now that has been open about 3 months. I have it stored upside down. I want to see if product hardens and seals any places it's not air tight leaving the rest of the product good. Doubt it will work, but I didn't have anything to use the rest of the bottle on at that time anyway.
Not a real exciting Super Bowl.

Those look like some interesting products. The Gyeon bathe + almost looks like CarPro Hydro 02. Esoteric is advertising a wax as their brand...Clearly a Polish Angel Bottle lol

Esoteric used to distribute for Polish Angel. The wax was developed by PA for Esoteric before he moved to the Gyeon and Kamikaze lines. Not sure why he stopped carrying the PA line, it fits in well with the rest of the products they sell. I have never heard a bad review on any of the PA products, and they have some interesting products I want to try. As with many manufacturers every one has a few real stand out products, any that's why we end up with so many. Have you tried Car Pro essence yet????

I just asked Glen if he wanted me to send him a sample bottle of Essence because he said he's going to use CQuartz on part of his car. I haven't used it yet. I ordered some CQuartz, I've got four cars lined up to do corrections and coatings but none are getting CQuartz.
