h20 g&g followed by ceramic boost

[Bjtomblin10]

I was thinking about doing a quick wash on my truck and wifes car today. Its time for a new coat of h2o guard and gloss, but I also just have a ceramic boost in my collection that I have never used. I saw where the 2.0 boost came out, but I have never ceramic coated my cars before. Would using the h2o then putting ceramic boost on top of it work? I know the video for the boost says that it doesnt just have to be used on a ceramic coated vehicle. What are your thoughts? Its been on and off raining here in WV for what seems like forever and didn't want to do a full detail until i know I have some time without rain.

 

Thanks,

You can use them interchangeably but I wouldn't put the CB immediately down over the HGG.  If you want to use HGG after the wash then do so and wait a few weeks and use CB the next time.  See which one you like more.

Ok, that sounds about right. I was just thinking a double seal. Thought that the boost would just enhance some shine.

Agreed with @LSX Maestro on not doing them back to back. They're different base materials; HGG is an acrylic resin and CB silica. Sometimes mixing different products doesn't work well and can reduce the visual appeal of the end result. HGG should last about a month or so, so apply the CB at that point and see what you prefer. Just know the new CB is advertised to last 4-6 months, so switching back may need a strip wash.

 

Here's a great article that talks about layering, too:
