Doctor G Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Adding Gloss Coat should add the protection you are looking for to the painted panels. We recommend wiping the surfaces with Paint Prep to remove any wax residue before applying Gloss Coat. Let us know if we can be of further assistance. Thank you.

Ron@Optimum Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Habs, use Paint Prep and there shouldn't be any issue with Gloss-Coat bonding. You can apply Optimum Spray Wax 1 hour after finishing the coating phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
