if it's better than HardBody... then HB is going on the shelf in the back. i was going to layer it over the HB, however i was told by a pro detailer that it would not be wise. 22PLE VX1 Pro Signature Glass Coating. it's supposed to put Hard Body to shame.

yes it is a paint sealant x100. it's actually a glass coating. after 5 days of curing time it crystalizes into a hard durable glass coating. i've read a lot of positive reviews about 22PLE, haven't read anything negative as of yet. i currently have Hard Body on my car. although not as durable as i thought i still like Hard Body. 22PLE is supposed to kick it up a notch x100.

i bought a 30ml bottle for $86.00... after the discount (thanx Phil) and free shipping i paid $70.00. it is good for multiple apps if done right. a 50ml bottle will run you $135.00. they also have the coatings for wheels and trim.

this coating can't be washed off. the only way to get it off is to polish the car again. it has 18+ months durability.

Nice pick up! If I didn't have to polish my car OR had another syringe of OC2.0 then I'd be all over this again. I'm loving the ceramic sealants coming out lately

it's all about protection for me. i love the gloss and slickness it offers but i look for protection first. and yeah, i'm loving these coatings. was going to go with G-Tecniq, but decided on the 22PLE.

Sure about that? Sounds too good to be true, that's awesome.
