since i was concerned about keeping my polished work clean and all...i decided to look around. someone mentioned using a clearcoat for powdercoating. i thought that would be my only choice.
but im gonna try glisten PC made by the company that makes POR-15. i just wanted to see if anyone else has tried it yet?

I would actually appreciate it if you would (bite the bullet?) and test this out for us. =D

I would test it on my polished stuff, but I've already clear coated them, so..

 

once i get enough money piled up, im gonna order a few things from them. there prices arent cheap but from what ive seen its well worth it. give me a couple weeks. if someone wants to dive in before me.....let us know!

Clear sealer, for all surfaces. Zaino has awesome products. 1 coat lasts 9 months and you only need to use a tiny bit.

I've used their waxes and I've been amazed. Put a single coat of Z-2 on a friend's BMW 5 months ago and it's still shiny and easy to wash. Just did my own car with a clay bar, Z-5, Z-2 & Z-6. It went from a dull, papery, swirl marked covered "old car" white to brand new looking, shiny, and swirl mark free. Every day at work my car gets covered in dust & tiny bits of sap, then half of it comes off during the drive home. The rest I can wipe right off with a finger, even the sap.

 

Definately try it out and let us know- I would like to try it on polished wheels.

 

For polished aluminum, zoop is pretty much the industry standard. One coating lasts for a good 2 years or so. I have always been more than happy with it.

 

I have not really dealt with any of these products but I remember days ago when trucks actually had a host (Stacey David- God I love that guy) and he went on about zoop on numerous occasions; sounds like a solid product.

 

all i can say is por 15 is extremely high qaulity stuff!

 

The key with any kind of coating is that the polishing below must be perfect. If you seal in a crappy polishing job, the result isn't going to be worth it. Remember that once it's sealed you can't just go and repolish.

 

ok so its been a while but heres a report...this stuff turns to a rock!! Ive smacked it with wrenches and pretty much the abuse under the hood parts get and its taken it all and then some. great quality stuff!!
highly recommend it....

 

Yeah, Glisten PC is the ****.
We found about it from the local Harley guys who love to use this stuff.
Cause we're in Hawaii, moisture curing is not a problem!

We've heard rumors that this stuff needs to be redone every several years cause it sometimes turns yellow though...

no yellowish coloring yet. i coated mine about a week after i made this thread and it hasnt turned yet. it might on rims or exposed to sunlight for to long. if my memory serves me its not supposed to be in direct sunlight for long periods????? i might be wrong. but for engine bay's....well worth it!
