I know Gyeon is a well known brand and Im sure it performs, but after trying out optimum gloss coat, cquartz, cquartz uk, and gtechniq crystal serum light. Im going to stop there and stick to carpro uk, and reload combo I been very happy with the results and its been stellar for me with the sacrifice of a little user experience.
That can be arranged if you'd like. I have a couple of extra bottles of cure that came with my Mohs kits. I'm 80% sure I'll be going to the Friday Night Meet at longo lexus this week. I can bring it with me if you want to stop by.

No worries, just shoot me a PM if you want to trade.

There is usually a Lexus meet every couple of weeks in So Cal with locations announced the week of. Longo Lexus is hosting the meet this week after the dealership closes.

I haven't tried liquid crystal or reload, so I can't comment on that. I wouldn't consider it an oily look, the best I can do is show you a picture of a car with it applied.

Looks good! Id certainly give cure a try, but most definitely would use the gtechniq csl on black cars (absolute breeze to use along with liquid crystal), always loved black, but maintaining it would drive me nuts especially if its a daily, that ones looking real good though. Also one thing I noticed with the liquid crystal is that after applied people touching the paint leaves a lot of smears whereas the reload there are less.

The GS has to remain uncoated or I won't have a test vehicle. All my personal cars are coated, so I rely on my friend's cars for testing.
