Yeah, I'd be interested if you had any more to add. I'm honestly pretty ignorant to both products and was trying to understand the difference between the two (and cost difference).
Also, I've heard people talk about OC 2.0 being a PITA to apply, but it seems like it would just be time consuming more so than a pain to deal with.
I appreciate the info.
Like you guys have been saying, IMO, CG's SS6 is over priced and the longevity/durability seems behind most, if not all, of its competitors. I personall went with OC2 (Just started a thread on it yesterday on here) due to its proven durability. I literally just applied OC2 on Sunday and had no issues. I watched about 15 youtube videos on people applying it and by about the 5th one, it gets very repetitive, lol. I started on the roof since it is mostly flat, easy to reach and I could get a good look at it from all sorts of different angles. You prime the applicator with an X pattern, fold it in on its self to help spread the product and start to apply. A good tip is to start in the middle of the area you are doing so you can spread the product from the middle out as opposed to getting a lot of build up on the edges of the panels, making it harder to spread and causing possible high spots. When you spread the product it makes the paint look wet and oily so you can tell where you have covered (I was hard to see at times on my car due to the color, Silver. White might be challenging but Black would probably be easy).After you cover the panel or area, let it sit for 5 minutes. Most of the product will self level and you wont even know its there any more. If any spots stay looking wet or oily, simply wipe it away with a MF towel and move on, it is that simple. It is amazing how such little product goes a long way. Of the 20cc's I used about 7cc's and was not stingy with it. Some people get 2 or 3 cars out of 20cc's. I would expect a nice long life from OC2, way longer the SS6.
Like 28ONE said SS6 seems over priced for what it is, plus only offers 1 year of protection and maybe less depending on the climate.
Thats kind of what I was thinking (SS6 Over priced). I really like CG's stuff, but some times they seem to like their stuff a bit more than they should.....
CG does make some good stuff, but to me they are often over hyped and there is something better but I really like their soaps and have some other things of theirs as well.
subbing on this one.

after something like this is applied is it even worth putting any other wax on top? or do I just wash my car and TA-DA I'm all super glassy looking again.
also, I have heard of this stuff called Evo X. supposed to be the same thing as what we are talking about. anybody try it?
Some people apply a top wax or QD spray to help the gloss effect. I will probably try a few different toppers so I will report back with my personal experiences. I am thinking just a QD spray like FK425 when I dry will keep it nice and shiny and slick.
I think biggest reason is I was new to detailing and of course car being black. After getting some education and experience with detailing, I'm definitely ready to apply OC2 on the wifeys next car. Eventually I may try OC on this mustang or maybe next one
You could easily handle OC2. Its all the prep work that takes the time. OC2 took me about an hour to apply, the prep was about 6-8 hours, lol
