So received my Polish Angel group buy items the other day and in true fashion I couldn`t wait. One reason being is I with most products, especially coatings I like to try them on my personal car first just to be sure they don`t act funny during the application process.
That being said I wanted to share a few thoughts so far on the PA Glasscoat Cosmic.
So the test subject was non other than my GTO. This car has had a bunch of different coatings on it. All good but some I like better than others. The most recent has been CSL (Crystal Serum Light) which has been my go to coating for the past couple months. Only reason I am removing it off the gto is for this test.
Here are the products received after unboxing. I like the little box that the Cosmic comes in. Kinda like opening up a special little gift lol! Inside I was greeted with the Glasscoat Cosmic, applicator pad and a pair of nitrile gloves. I also received the primer polish and Glissante shampoo and Cosmic Spritz coating topper.
I wasn`t able to capture any pictures of the prep and install process as my phone went dead shortly after taking the above pictures.
For preparation I wiped off the car with some WG Uber Rinseless wash. After I decided to polish the surface with Polish Angel Master polish just to be sure I removed the previous coating as much as possible. I used a white LC pro thin pad and my 3401.
Now after this was done I followed the directions and used the Polish Angel Invincible Primer polish. Turns out according to the label this stuff can cut depending upon the pad choice. I didn`t get to test the cutting ability as I used a black LC pro thin pad on the 3401 on speed 3-4 and just lightly went over the surface and removing as I went along. It wipes off easily with no dusting or funny business. It does seem to add a gloss. I am thinking this is similar to Carpro Essence.
After going over the car it was time to apply Glasscoat Cosmic. I opened up the bottle and put a few dabbs to the nice foam applicator pad began applying it in straight back and forth motions. Just like hand waxing a car. It applies very easily and little goes a long way! I barely made a dent in the bottle. I only did one coat but it says that after 2 hrs from the first coat you can add a second layer.
After I applied it to the whole car I had to wait 30min before removing. Once time came the Glasscoat removal was effortless. Took maybe 10min to wipe the whole car down. Then an hour after that I hit it with Cosmic Spritz and let it sit.
One thing I noticed is that the following day the applicator wasn`t hard like some of the quartz/Ceramic coatings out there.
If this is truly a coating then its pretty neat how it applies. No worries about high spots and streaks. We will see how it performs. The gloss is nice and it has a glassy just coated feel too.
Some after shots.
