Not understanding the previous review? Water will either bead or sheet. No other option for it. Insanity is just like all the other 22ple coatings. Applies like butter and removes smoothly; no different application process than any other 22ple coating. Gloss is a high quality finish like the others; didn't do a comparison. Tested this product for a customer before recommending it. Would highly recommend to anyone who is familiar with applying coatings. Time between application and wipe varied between 2-4 minutes, waited till it flashed and gave it 15 seconds further.

Suggestion- no need to put a top coat such as CarPro Reload or Kamikaze Overcoat until some time has passed. Any top coat applied to any coating will then be the primary surface protectant until it wears off. That means any beading or sheeting properties will be the top coat product, not the underlying ceramic coating. Top Coats for coatings should be done when the coating needs rejuvenation several months down the road. Preferably the same manufacturers top coat product due to chemical bonding. However, I use CarPro Reload or Kamikaze Overcoat for all my top coats. They bond well and continue the same protection as the underlying coating.

For DIY'ers: Remember when applying a coating the first wipe will drag product to any surface the towel touches. So when final wiping make sure you watch those other panel pieces for residue and wipe those off. If a bit of coating dries before removing just add new product on top and remove immediately.

Anyone purchasing this product should be highly satisfied with the end result if applied and removed correctly.

Used this on my wife's CTS, silver. Compounded and polished, finishing with Reflect on a gloss pad.Extremely easy application. Put 2 coats on the car 24hrs apart. Really gave the silver paint some gloss. I used Pro V2 a lot but not available anymore. This is better for sure. Wait and see how durability is

Water beading and sheeting doesnt exist.

I followed the instructions ( 2 coats 12 hours apart, left to cure approx 4 minutes before removal with 65f temp and 44% humidity).

Furthered left to cure 48 hours before exposed to outside. I cleaned a small test area on a panel and added overcoat, which beaded like crazy.

So only thing I can tell is either coating that was sold to me was a bad batch, or coating doesn't provide what it is quoted as doing.worst coating I've used by far.

Do yourself a favor and get a different coating that has a much better reputation and customer support.
