    Interested in seeing how much I use next time if I only used about 2 ounces on the 1st coat. Gonna try it out on my bicycle frame next time I wash it as well, should do great on it. Yeah...I better go ahead and order the gallon as well lol.

    Yeah I did my black TRD Pro rims and it brought a shine to them that I haven't seen before. It seems to do really well on anything black/dark. I'm actually about to go outside and try it on my toolbox since it was dirty from me standing on it to topcoat the roof last night.

    Mine finally arrived today. I emailed them and miraculously within an hour I had a shipped email confirm - then it came a day later in the mail. I am convinced they lost my order. No actual response from a human being though. Poor customer service. Hopefully the product outshines the customer service - pun intended.

    Decided to do the same strip wash/clay/rinse/dry/f11 process on my girls GMC. Now hers looks better than mine, wtf.

    I have now done the 1st coat on both vehicles top to bottom and still have about 90% of the 16 ounce bottle left (used all of the small bottle). If you guys arent using the small round microfiber applicator pads to apply than you are probably wasting a lot of product.

    Second coat going on my truck one afternoon next week. Has rained almost every day and my truck still looks good. Some dirty water spots but thats to be expected with how much driving I have done in the rain since last wash.

    Good tip on the applicator. I have some new ones stored but never thought to use them. I'll give it a shot next time.

    Your first picture is TundraProLevel with the reflection..

    Wow excellent results on that GMC!!! Yeah I learned from the first use. First time I used the microfiber they supplied and I wasted lots. On the Tundra I used an applicator pad and I barely used any. Can't wait to add more coats but I just don't need it at this time.

    What do you recommend as a stripper? I'm talking about the one to remove the wax....!

    The adams polishes strip wash has been doing the job for me. I probably don't need another coat yet on the Tundra either but I'm curious to see how easy the 2nd coat goes on and how easy the dirt comes off without using soap. Plus I ordered a pack of cleaning brushes from meguiars that ill be eager to try when they get here this week. Been skipping cleaning my wheel wells due to not wanting to ruin a good rag or wash mit.

    I think it might be smart to put on a second coat before the first wears off - my understanding is that this fortifies the product's bond to your car's surface and helps increase overall protection. I just hand washed my wife's car, when the sun backs off a bit I'm going to give it a wipe and probably a quick once-over with TopCoat.

    Thats my thinking as well. Gonna try and get about 4 coats on within the next month or so that way it builds up and lasts longer.

    Ordered my gallon on Monday and it shipped out on Thursday. Should get here next Thursday. Not sure why some people have issues delays with their orders.

    I hadn't wash the truck in a while but when I did the dirt came off so easily after the 2nd coat, put the third coat on today and I'm hooked, makes cleaning my truck so easy and gives it a good shine, saves sooooooo much time, gallon coming soon lol

    Yup, I just pressure wash it first, that alone gets rid of 80% of the filth, then I grab a clean microfiber with my left hand and the water hose with my right hand, so I'm spraying the truck as I go, the microfiber effortlessly glides over the surface and I apply almost zero pressure on it and that's all it takes, it's like using the eraser in Microsoft paint lol the way it so easily glides I don't feel like I'm scratching the paint.

    2nd coat went on the truck last night after washing with just water and a wash mit. Went on a little easier than the first, feels extra slick this time. Never felt like I was scratching truck while washing with just the wet mit.

    I finally got around to applying TopCoat, following a wash, wax, polish, yada yada. I applied it HEAVY with a few round applicator disks - then buffed with microfiber. I must say, it looks good. Bugs and road debris just wipe off headlights, grill and windshield. Water marks are a minimum, which is key with a black truck. So far, so good. I am hoping it gets even better with the 2nd and 3rd applications.

    I gotta say - my black truck is still shining nicely. And that's been after 3 storms this week and sitting outside the whole time. I'm sold on this stuff.

    It's been a few weeks since I applied the 1st coat now. Today I went through a. Drive through touchless car wash and just chose the cheapest package which is just a rinse and dry. Truck was sparkling after that!!!! This stuff really does work. So tonight I went ahead and applied a second coat. Stuff is good.
