I like the new RX but that 4 cylinder is a bitter pill to swallow. Worse still the RX 500h is only available In F-sport trim. That’s not appealing to me at all.

Thanks, I figured it would be around there but I knew someone here would know for sure. I guess I'll use it at some point for a car but not on the nice ones.

I'd give it a whirl and see what you think!

Understand that position fully. However, now driving one around for the day, it's a complete non-issue for me. If we were to buy an RX, it would be the 500h F Sport Performance.

It’s used quite a bit at Barrett Jackson, Carlisle Nationals, and Carmel. Many of the detailers tasked with caring for the cars at those events use Adam’s products. I think it will be just fine.

You don't think so? Normally I use polish and isopropyl down after before trying a new coating, I was told you have to do this?

If I can just apply over what I have then hell yeah I'll try it!

Any spray product can just be applied over top of your existing coating. A new coating will require polishing off the old coating.

True and if the car is swirl marky, it’s better to address that before applying any graphene coating. One of my friends from CL is an excellent detailer so I will defer to him on such issues. He’s one of your friends from here too.

Yeah you want to get the paint in the best condition you can before you apply any ceramic coating.

That's already done, I just assumed you always need to strip before changing

A spray product is not changing your coating.

I'll just treat it like a top coat product then, I have Armor Shield on the LS/A8s currently. The Jetta doesn't have anything though.....
