Top Coat F-11

[Carl Stouffer]

I see this "Top Coat F-11" advertised on Facebook all the time and I'm tempted to try it on my GMC. The thing is, I'm kind of a cheapskate and the
stuff is expensive. If it does what they claim, I would gladly pay the price. Has anyone used this product? If so, what were the results like. I
have read mixed reviews.

Thanks,

I've never tried it... and I wouldn't because of the amazon ratings. Amazon's prices are not always best but I think I usually get a close idea of the
quality of the item from the ratings. Most items being overrated.

The single biggest killer of finishes is neglect - never washed, left out in the elements, etc.

I highly doubt putting this stuff on it once is going to keep the dirt and weather from grinding down the finish.

But, if kept clean, who knows.

Old School. Keep it out of the sun and elements. Cut and buff it with ultra
fine compound. Mother's Carnuba Paste wax by hand. Buff with microfiber or
Turkish towel, or old cotton t shirt. Good to go for a couple of years. Not
what I do. What I used to do.

I’ve been painting cars for over 10years or so and have tried everything under the sun as far as finishes go. The only thing that’s going to keep your rig from fading and discoloring is to keep it out of the sun. Polishing and buffing will bring the luster back and help protect it from dirt and rain spots. The quality of your clear coat UV protection is the only thing that will determine your amount of fading over time. Keep your rig covered up by either a shelter or breathable cover if your looking to keep the paint shiny for years to come.

Per Jerry Work:

"I do use and like it. In fact, I just finished doing the Prevost today. It needed it after a month on the beach in Mexico. Talk about polishing an
elephant! It seems a bit better than the other sealant spray products out there and way better than the spray wax based detailed products that I also
have used. In the beach atmosphere you need to do some level of cleaning on your car every other day and on the coach every couple of weeks. I am
skeptical about the claims of six months life, but it certainly makes taking care of all this stainless steel a breeze.

As to cost, most of the wax based spray detailed products are in the $10 to $20 a bottle range. The good sealer products are all in the $20 to $40
range. On their web site they often run specials at around $175 a gallon which puts the normal spray bottle in the $40 to $50 range. So, it is a bit
more than the others, but not by all that much. Is it worth the difference in cost? Who knows. It is to me because it it so easy to get really great
shiny results and it seems to hold up adequately for my purposes. Take a look at the Prevost at the GMCMI rally in Tucson and decide for yourself."

I am looking forward to checking out the finish on Jerry's Prevost at GMCMI later this week. I consider Jerry an expert on finishes and if he likes
it, I probably will give it a try.
