It's something you buy separately. It's a different product. Look it up on the detailed image website. It's called 22PLE VS1 Final Coat.

Default 22ple

How long do you think I could wait until I apply the final coat?

I waited 7 hours to apply it to my car. When you put the coating on your car just be careful that you get everything wiped down and you do it multiple times because if you let something dry on there that you missed wiping down you're going to get a white spot on your car that you can't remove because you didn't get all the product off

If you want to look at my car and how it looks after the 22 PLE has been applied before you do your car let me know. I work downtown but live in the valley so maybe if you want to see if we can arrange that.

Super deep and clean! Those additional protection on the paint is totally worth it!

These were taken by my detailer and he put them on his Facebook page and Instagram. I haven't taken any of my own shots yet but I will start today.

Car came out great and it does continue to cure for five days after applied.

The picture with the reflection of the wood is actually from the roof of my car and that reflection is my wood garage door.

Enjoy. I'll add some additional shots later today

Can you post some larger pics showing the glossiness on the UW? The UW is such a bright white I can't imagine it any shinier Also, are you happy with the high gloss look or does it look tacky? Thanks!

i wlll post some larger pics and it does not look tacky at all. it adds depth to the color. white doesn't necessary have the brightest shine. but the coating really adds to it.

I work all day so I don't think it would be possible, but I appreciate it! Maybe I'll see you at the next F Sport Society car meet. I have one last question (sorry for all the questions), I bought the final coat and does that mean that I need to buy another set of microfiber towels that need to be thrown away after?

I use the 22ple applicator to apply the final coat and 2 microfiber cloths to wipe it off. You do not need to throw those towels away because Final coat does not contain the same properties that the 22 PLE glass coating does. Also I do not let the final coat dry. I wipe it off when it is still wet. I apply it and then wipe it off that's how I do it

Clean! Glad I went with the Ultra White too. It was a last minute decision where we had to stop signage during the paperwork hahaha. I'm gonna look into this. Thank you and it really came out classy.
