dvaz Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hi, I am having the front of my black car PPFed with XPEL ultimate. Can i put Gloss Coat on top of it? All the searches online have returned results of topics with Opti Coat, but no info regarding the consumer Gloss Coat. If it does, will it affect the self healing properties of the film. Also, since Gloss Coat is a SIC / SIO2 hybrid, will i need to use a SIO2 sealant, such as Reload from time to time? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Yes, you can (and should) apply Gloss-Coat over film - it provided chemical resistance to the scratch protection. Ceramic coatings (SiC or Si02) have no affect on self healing. You don't "need" to use toppers but if you choose to, use one that has ceramic components because normal waxes/sealants won't bond. We recommend Hyper Seal (just reformulated) for Gloss-Coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvaz Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Thanks! will do and order some Hyper seal! For future reference, to reapply Gloss Coat after a couple of years, do i just do a chemical decon on the film and just reapply? Seeing that polishing the PPF is out of the question.

Ron@Optimum Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 If the Gloss-Coat is gone, you can reapply after a decon wash. If some Gloss-Coat is still present, you need to polish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
