The 22ple VS1 Final Coat<\/a> is a brand new top coat meant to be put over\u00a0the 22ple VX line. It can also be used as a stand alone product or on top of other coatings as a topper. VS1 Final Coat will give a coated surface a slick feel and give it additional hydrophobic properties to aid in an amazing level of water beading. It is intended to last 2 to 3 months and this may be longer, or shorter, depending on how the car is maintained. Although it is a silica based spray, it will not add scratch resistance like the VX line, unless it is used regularly. If used often, it can and will add some surface protection!<\/p>\n

VS1\u00a0is a maintenance spray for 22ple, although it can be used on a car that hasn’t been coated. One huge benefit is that the VS1 also helps prevent\u00a0water spotting. With a lot of coatings\u00a0these days,\u00a0the coating itself will need to be protected. Therefore,\u00a0a “sacrificial coating” is needed and it serves that purpose perfectly.<\/p>\n

As with almost any sealant, less is more. The sprayer is a very fine mist and excessive product will cause streaking and dark spots on the paint. When applying as a topper, wait for at least 1 hour before applying to a recently coated car. Ideally you want to wait at least 3 hours before using the Final Coat. Always apply to a cool surface and out of direct sunlight. I found that 2 to 3 sprays per panel provides plenty of slickness and protection. Simply spray on a soft Microfiber towel like a\u00a0DI Microfiber reTHICKulous Towel<\/a>,\u00a0wipe on the surface, flip the towel and wipe off the excess product. It really is that simple!<\/p>\n

The depth and gloss left behind after VS1 is used on top of a coating is intense. Remember with any coating or topper, the depth and gloss is only as good as the polishing work done below. Take a look at how great this Lambo turned out!<\/p>\n
