Thanks for your comments. I went with my experiment and will take it out in the sun tomorrow to judge the finish.

Myself, I would consider after a good clean, throw the paint glosser on, as it's kind of a polish, then Ultimate Wax. Then I would probably do Fast Finish for extra protection.

Sorry I’m late to this party but…
I’m trying to clear out some on my on-the-shelf products and here is what I’m thinking. Clean car>>>Gold Class Premium Quik Wax>>>Ultimate Fast Finish>>>Insane Shine Paint Glosser>>>Ultimate Liquid Wax.
Waiting 12 hours after Gold Class, waiting 24 hours after Fast Finish, waiting 12 hours after Glosser, risking rain 12 hours after Ultimate Wax. Ultimate Wax would be machine applied with a soft 4” pad on a Porter Cable.
The car has lots of PPF and I’ve never had problems with Fast Finish over PPF, but will Glosser over Fast Finish streak on paint or PPF??
Thanks, David.

I gave Ultimate Insane Shine Glossar a test run this afternoon.
The '70 El Camino in the avatar was the subject, since it is going to a car show tomorrow.
It has fairly good gloss already.
I clean it with [B][URL="https://www.meguiarsdirect.com/meguiars-d115-detailer-rinse-free-express-wash-wax-1gallon.html"]Meguiar's
The first image below shows the gloss after cleaning the truck's metallic blue hood with black stripes.
There are yellow roses above the green recycle can.
The thought was to compare clarity of those yellow roses in the paint.
See first image.
The next step was to apply the Ultimate Insane Shine to the cleaned paint.
I mentally divided the hood into about 8 sections to work one at a time.
The product was sprayed onto a new microfiber cloth.
Be careful to turn away from the vehicle, or fine overspray will get on the truck in areas you might not expect.
Once applied by wiping in different directions to spread the product, use another new microfiber cloth to dry the wet product.
I soon found that the dry microfiber would drag with the wet product.
After a couple passes, it would stop the very slight dragging and the streaking would be gone.
See the second image, we can see that the blue metallic seems a little darker.
The white rapheolipis flowers and the white lettering on the recycle barrel are close to the same whiteness as in the first image.
So it is likely not from a camera shift.
The hood's reflections of the yellow roses appear to slightly better clarity.
As recommended, I wanted to put a protection product on top of the Ultimate Insane Shine product.
For car shows, I prefer the Ultimate Fast Finish (UFF) on top.
It tends to shed, rather than attract dust.
As UFF is applied and wiped dry,, that expected slickness returned to the paint surface.
In the third image we see that some of the metallic blue darkness has reduced.
We still see a slightly higher clarity of the yellow roses over the first image.

Sorry if these questions have been addressed already. This product says nothing about removing light dust. Since its basically a sprayable polish, must it be applied to clean paint only?
It says not to use it on coatings as it may smear, but some people are saying its good to use on coatings that may have lost some gloss. Has anyone tried it on a coating yet?
Must the paint be dry?
Nick, is there a way to watch the Nov 2022 webinar? If I click on the register link, it says I can watch it on demand but then says I dont have permission.
Correct, Ultimate Insane Shine Paint Glosser should be used on clean paint, either after washing or after using one of our Quik Detailer sprays to safely remove light dust & other contaminants.
Regarding use of coatings, due to the nature of coatings, it may streak and also may hide the coating's hydrophobics.
Regarding must the paint be dry, yes, clean & dry for best results.
Regarding the Webinar Recording - We lost our on-demand ability when we transitioned webinar platforms (Zoom to MS Teams). Let me see if I can locate that & get it posted somewhere else for you to view.

Nick Thank you for the info. All of the new products are on amazon. I just did an order.

It looks like our 2023 New Products are available on Amazon.com now - Would imagine other online suppliers will have them soon as well. Remember auto parts stores typically reset their shelves in spring, so will be a while to pick up from a store - online is generally first to have available.
