You might wanna take it a little easy on eaglefan...he's clearly a professional that's sharing quite a bit of proprietary knowledge with us...and I appreciate it. Go back to Post 73 for some of the material he uses, and what uses to work it is all over his posts.
Just sayin. ..

Cquartz UK, CQuartz Finest, CQuartz, 22PLE VX and VX3, Gtechniq, Gyeon, Wolfgang, Pinnacle, is that enough? And Ive applied every one of them. You?
Sealants that are better = BlackFire, Wolfgang Ultima, Reload, Pinnacle Black Label. Ive applied every one also.
A glaze can make paint "Shine", but it won't last at all. Read the detailing forums and see how many "Pro" detailers, the guys that do it everyday all day use it. Ive seen 3 vehicles with it applied. I wasn't impressed. If you like it use it. I had customers bring it to me to use and told them no. Im not spending 10-12 hours polishing a vehicle and putting that on the paint. When I do a customers car/truck/bike, my name is on it. I won't use it. I only do it as a side gig but it is income I depend on.
Once again, if you like it use it.

the only thing that intrigued me about the TopCoat stuff was their push for matte/denim paint. (I've not tried it myself, just watched the facebook hype videos)
Currently, I only use HD Denim cleaner on the paint, nothing else...
What about your products above? Any of them prescribed for flat paint?
Thanks

He is a CarPro rep, they make CQuartz products. He will be able to answer any questions about their coatings on matte finishes. Dr Beasley makes some coatings for matte paint also, but I have not had any dealings with them.
The bikes I have done with the matte finishes were throughly cleaned, chrome polished and rims done with IronX. No coatings

That's what I use too unless I am out in California then I remove it from the tour pack so I don't get arrested for having it.

I've never been aware of this level of detailing. Wax & buff is about all I'm aware of. Maybe a little Bug Splat on top. Where do you find this level of detailing?
