When I saw that 22ple<\/a> had released a new set of coating products, I was very interested in trying them out as I was already quite a big fan of their first generation VX Pro<\/a> and VX1 Signature<\/a> Products. \u00a0My previous experiences with the 22ple paint coatings have been great as they provided long lasting\u00a0gloss and protection while also being one of the easiest coatings to use on the market. \u00a0Perhaps the only complaint I had about the product was the relatively high retail\u00a0price compared to some of the competition…. that is, until now. \u00a022ple VX3 Signature Glass Coat<\/a> is the latest signature coating from 22ple,\u00a0which has been improved with a new, more advanced UHMW Silica for even better performance, and also now at a very\u00a0competitive price.<\/p>\n

I applied this coating to this gorgeous Acura at the customer’s home, and as expected, it was a real pleasure to use. \u00a0Using the CarPro\u00a0Applicator Block<\/a> and Suede<\/a>, the coating was very easy to spread\u00a0evenly across the vehicle as seen in the image below.<\/p>\n

I allowed the coating to sit for roughly 5-6 minutes, as directed, before I began removing the excess product. \u00a0Using light pressure, I wiped the panel first with a large suede microfiber towel to level the majority of the excess product, and then finished with a light pass with a Black & Yellow<\/a> towel to ensure the panel was completely free of any high spots.<\/p>\n

\"ATD<\/p>\n

It took just an hour or so to apply one coat to the entire vehicle, and a little less than\u00a015 mL \u00a0of product were used. \u00a0Keep in mind, many people who may be applying these types of products for the first time may use more product than we did, but the 30 mL bottle should\u00a0be enough for one coat on any size vehicle.<\/p>\n

\"ATD<\/p>\n

The vehicle was left to sit in the garage for over 24 hours, and the end result was nothing short of stunning. \u00a0The nicely polished paint topped with the glass coating created a very glossy finish with incredible depth. \u00a0Check out those crystal clear reflections!<\/p>\n

\"ATD<\/p>\n

First impressions of this new offering from 22ple are great. \u00a0Another\u00a0easy to use product with a better price and performance. \u00a0I will continue to monitor the durability of this product over time, however given my personal testing with previous 22ple coatings, I am expecting this coating to provide years of durable protection and gloss.<\/p>\n
