I'm sneaking this in at work, so I'll make it brief.
Is it okay to use Hydro over Banana Gloss?
I seem to remember reading that applying carnauba over synthetic is okay, but synthetic over carnauba is Bad News, USA. I was just wondering which rule applied to Banana Gloss which is kind of a hybrid, right?

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered somewhere but I can't find it. Actually a couple questions:
1. Is there an advantage to using Banana Gloss over Epic (after Epic cures of course). And if so what advantage? Or is it sort of overkill and can obtain just as good results with Epic and Hydro?
2. Is Epic higher quality and better lasting then Klasse? Any special reason why one would use one over the other?
1) BG contains carnauba so it'll give you a more higher definition gloss...
per se. I do not have actual experience but do know CR&PW&BJ went
blind for a few hours after using BG on his MINI's.
2) no idea with this one. I started using Griot's PaintSealant and it's
super easy to use (fail safe) and VERY long lasting. even in
the salt belt IL, my dd is still beading water like crazy.
actually i should explain more about #1. i tried Epic. it's great stuff.
but carnauba has a deeper wetter shine for deeper colors. for dd's
and lighter colors Epic is very good.
PaintSealant from Griot's is hells shinier than Epic, but easier to use.
(shiny is not a good thing for me).
i use Hydro starting the next wash to kinda cool down the glare
(almost like those shiny msg plasticy glare of zaino) and makes it
more of a deeper natural shine. PaintSealant + Hydro is the clear
winnar for me.
