Looks awesome, as always...

I'm curious as to how you feel about 22ple compared to CQuartz or OC2.0. I applied the VX1 Pro Coating on my car and love it, the only thing that bothers me is that you have to throw away your MF towel after you use it which I know is not a big deal since you can add that as an expense to the customer.

Very, very NICE! Phil, I think you have the best job...doing something you love to do, while testing new products, and getting paid to do it! As usual, another DD spectacular!

Might have to go there when I come out to visit family, how far is your business from Cape May NJ, or what is your address.

about 3-4 hours.

55 oak st, norwood, nj, it would be 3 hours from Boston.

Hello Phil, I have two quick questions on the 22ple coatings:

1. Which (if any) of the 22ple coatings would be appropriate for carbon fiber engine pieces that have a clear coat?

2. Can the 22ple VX1 Pro Glass Coating be applied over a clear bra?


Thanks in advance.
