Trying another new spray polish.....

[Roadster]

Although I have enough detailing products to last me 3 times over..... I still had to try another spray polish.....now not one for following instructions to the "t"..... I did not remove any of the previous polish and wax on the paint as recpmmended.... I have obtained a decent shine over the last 4 years.....so the gloss and depth factor was already there.....this new product goes on very easy and wipes off just as easy...... I could have done the whole car in minutes....but just decided to do the hood and check it out..... I will say that I can't tell a big difference from before.....other than the easy application and slickness of the product.....
I have a 11 foot ceiling in the garage and the pics show that you can reach into the hood and touch the ceiling.....of course the true test for me is out in the sunlight.....that's where I can determine even the slightest difference in the paint....as I know every mark.....fine scratch and any minor swirls that are still present in the paint.....
So we shall see......either I buy more cars to use up all of these products.....or just use them up more on what I have..... I think I know the answer to that!!![emoji16]706670677068

Wow that looks amazing. Nice work!

So what is the product?

[Roadster]

Thanks.....anxious to see it in the sunlight as mentioned.....

It is the Top Coat F11 product......have watched many videos on it and thought I give it a try.....expensive......but they were offering a discount....I like the easy on and off of the product......but when you think about it.....most products will go on easy and off easy....if you already have "tons" of products on the finish.......just like you and I do.......lol:)

Thanks Charlie......not quite as good as what your paint looks like:icon_thum.....but for the wear....tear and miles on mine.....it is fine.....it's a survivor.....:)......sunlight test later today......:D

[Roadster]

Ok did the sunlight test today.....it was passable to me....although it does have depth......the paint is not flawless......paint correction would not be able to get the paint to a near perfect level.......only a repaint would accomplish that.....but for what it is....even with all the flaws.....it is acceptable.....
the test results.......
looking at the hood.....if you look closely......you can see minute marks in the paint.....but way better from when I first purchased 4 years ago.....

the Sun really brings out all of your imperfections.......

Very nice Tom! TopCoat F11 is awesome stuff. You will notice it gets even better with each additional application.

Thanks Craig......although this is the first time I have used Top Coat......I have come to some conclusions......which I need to adhere to.....so it will prevent me from buying new products......
these are just my opinions.....
1-most polishes and waxes will give you the same or near the same results if applied and removed properly......
2-and what I mean by that is having a clean cool surface to work with.... although this product and others have shown them being used on "dirty" surfaces.....and not using the same "cloths" for the entire vehicle.....
3-most polishes and waxes.....regardless of who makes them will leave a "smear" surface when used by hand.....especially if there are other polishes and waxes on the surface previously......
4-when using a buffer.......those "smears" are usually not a factor......
5-what I have found that works for me....is that after each application......is to use a damp cloth and a clean dry cloth......and go over each section to help remove any polish or wax that remains on the surface....thus producing the "smears".......before applying the next application......if there is one.....and that goes for hand or machine removal of each product being used.....
6-and this is especially important to do after the final application of whatever product is used.....either by hand or machine removal.....
7-I also follow this procedure when using any spray product.....such as others I have used and with the Top Coat that I used today.....
8-Once you get the surface to where you are satisfied......then applying a spray product will save you time......but I still use the damp cloth method anyway......
9-I stopped using terry cloth years ago.....as I feel as some others do that it will put micro swirls into the paint.....I will use them on wheels and other areas to clean.....
10-I only use Micro-Fiber cloths for either washing or polishing & waxing any vehicle......there is a debate on which Micro-Fiber cloth is the best.....that is something everyone would need to decide by trial and error.......determining which one works the best for you......and there are different grades of the Micro-Fiber cloths out there......
again.......JMO......;)

Have fun shinning up your ride.....:)

Do you think it is a good sealant or not?

[Roadster]

I also tried it on the hood of my wife's SUV......and am very satisfied with the results......it seems to bead up nicely when raining.....and as you move the water moves off the hood extremely quick as compared to some other products.....and when you pull into the garage and wipe down the hood (after raining) when beaded....it also wipes off the hood quickly and effortlessly......

On the ZR-1....I need to experiment more to see what multiple applications yield....I have as much shine and depth that I am going to achieve with this or any other product......but need to see how it will fill in the minor imperfections over time......

I have not used it yet on other items......such as the interior, or the wheels and tires.....so that needs to be addressed to see what results I will get....

Expensive....yes.....but if it works on everything like the ads says that it does....then IMO......it is a worthwhile product to purchase.....again...JMO:)
