Kenotek is also next on my list. I am so glad Phil@ detailers domain started carrying these products... i would like to see Gyeon View and foam at DD also... BIG HINT PHIL...
I just ordered wash coat and cure after reading this.

:thumbs: prepare to be amazed gentleman...

almost forgot... i also ordered the Gyeon Q2 tire dressing from Detailers Domain...another amazing product... having problems or do not like your current tire dressing? Gyeon Tire is the answer.i do not work for DD, the products he carries are phenomenal, they work and at a great price. my go to spot for car care products. if you're spending good money on a Lexus, then you need to make sure your Lex is pampered and well taken care of.

I just remembered my SC has fresh paint, so I don't have a car to test these products on at the moment. Hopefully I'll find a suitable candidate by the time I get my order.

Default When to Apply This?

* Wash, Rinse, Dry
* Clay Bar
* Polish - Do I have to polish before using this product or can I use it after claying the car?

I will wax as well but want to know your recommendations.

Thanks

do not think you will need any wax... depends on how you care for your paint. i haven't waxed my car in years.if paint is trashed, then polish and apply product... if paint is good, then clay if needed then apply product.

90 days has always been the general rule that I've heard for letting paint cure.

I've decided on a red test vehicle, but I don't have a work space with a low enough driveway for the car to enter. Luckily I still have a week to make arrangements.

I can't remember the last time I bought detailing products, so I'm excited to try them.

Awesome!... Can't wait to try this out then.

Thanks for your help

wash coat was just restocked at DD, that stuff is gold. wet coat is good, but it is already ready to use, so IMO if you have a heavy trigger finger like me, you will definitely waste the product. don't get me wrong... wet coat works great but for the amount of ready to use product as opposed to the concentrated wash coat that has to be diluted... wash coat is a more sensible go to product for me... i am going to buy another bottle of wet coat and see how it works this time. i just have to take it easy this time on the trigger. when you are done rinsing the wash coat, then while the car is still wet, spray the Cure and dry. it's a beautiful thing...

Sounds like you should do a couple reviews/write ups for these products! They sound great!

hey Z... I get excited when I find a product I like... I have to share the good news. . I have tried lots and only a handful has caused me to post about it. Kamikaze is on the list, so is Myabi... Hope I spelled that last one right.

Is a foam lance the preferred method for using wash coat or does a spray bottle work fine? I regret not reading the instructions first and ordering a foam lance.
