I've used it on my white gti and its worked great. Can't say anything about using it on a car without clear coat.

To be on the safe side, I would clean the sufface with TSP, and then use the primer. I would also use a hard bristle brush during cleaning, to remove any loose sealants, or coatings. Be sure to caulk around any roof vents before application. Hope this helps.

Yes because all this stuff is a clear coat, so trust me it works, don't get me wrong, this stuff is not like a professional booth paint job clear coat, but its the best from my experience for a Do it your self stuff. I even tried the dupli color clear coat and that stuff fades and turns yellow, the USC spray max high gloss does not.

Not sure. Never had a vehicle sealed/clear coated. I would check with the manufacturer. I do know this is the best/long lasting wax I have ever used. Sorry I couldn't have been more help. Take care! Wayne Kent

You don't need clear coat and the more layers you put on makes the coat look deep

I don't see why you couldn't. The Opti-coat is basically a hand applied clearcoat layer (in my opinion).

If your clear coat is similar to an automotive clear coat, then I would say don't use it. The abrasives in this kit are designed for metal and could make your finish worse. This is just my opinion. Ask the manufacturer of the dryer for their recommended solution. Always test an unseen portion of the surface to be polished and view the results under different angles of light.

I'm a professional detailer and must say I'm not a big fan of the "red bottle", I have used Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer many times and find it to be really good but if you want the best of the best for the same money you gotta try Duragloss Aquawax which is really a spray sealant, it will leave your paint very slick, I always use it on my customers cars before they pick it up, you can buy it here at Amazon, please trust me when I say it's the best. Here's the link. Duragloss 951 Automotive Aquawax - 22 oz.

Good morning Russelk777Base on my own experience, adding the clear coat will not make it shine, as of fact, it will give it a matte look.

For best results, you should use a topcoat. I used two coats of Polyacrylic topcoat by General Finishes.

I used it for just regular base coat. It works great this way for me, hope this helps.

This product is rather abrasive to use on older, non-clear coat, conventional paint. A much safer product would be Meguiar's #6 Cleaner Wax.

Hurt the clear coat? I would say no!This product will not remove or harm a hand applied coat of wax, thus it will not harm the factory clear coat,. This is a high quality product. I am not a car expert, I am a auto enthusiast and I use this product often with good results.

Clear. Its not a thick/heavy looking finish. Even runs or buildup areas stay clear-I have used some that are milky or blue looking in these areas. Its definitely my fav top coat.

No, this is for the clearcoat not the plastic trim. I recommend shine spray.
