I agree, F11 just did not give good results I expected. Hard to get off and kinda smudgy. I still love Beadmaker for a topper...

Griots Best of Show spray detailer works good for me for my other vehicles. The Vette is ceramic coated and gets Car Pro spray detailer.

Yes I have. I bought the large bottle and liked it very much. I still like Beadmaker better on all of my vehicles (none of which are ceramic coated). Extreme Solutions has been relegated to my John Deere Gator and Tractor

Real extreme gloss.. high SiO2 nano.. nothing touches Chemical Guys Hydro Speed detalier. Ive tried 5. 16oz should do 10 cars. Clean as a topper or on a dusty car between washes. Wheels glass. Just my experience. Smells like windex though. Funny. Pale green colour. Thin like water but needs a good shake between panels
