First wash and wax, F11 Top Coat

Trucks 2 weeks old and finally got time and a break in the weather to wash and wax. (I hate the salt in western Ny)
Im out of town for work so I used a self serve wash, hand dried and applied the first coat of F11.

Has as anyone used F11 topcoat?

To me it it was very easy to apply( without streaking) and has a super smooth and glossy finish. super slick.
I used it on the windows, body, chrome, black plastics, and wheels. My truck was like a mirror when finished.
I plan on doing more coats when the weather lets me.

IMO this wax is somewhat expensive, $60 per 16oz. But it didn’t take much to cover my truck. So far I’m veryhappy with it.

I was back and forth about this stuff for a few months before I purchased. I watched alot of YouTube vids about how easy it was to use and the durability. So I tried it. Glad I did. I covered every surface except the rubber tires. Maybe 1.5 to 2oz. But I did have the towel way to saturated by the time I was done. I probably could have used less. Pro tip- make sure Truck is dry before applying. It makes it much easier and u end up using less

I've wondered about the product because the ads pop up constantly on Facebook.

I have to say that's about the cleanest self service car wash bay I've ever seen.
The truck looks good too!

When are you available to come do mine?

Big fan of Top Coat F11. Super easy, wipe on, wipe off. After 2-3 coats its supposed to be good for about a year. The shine is as good as any product I've used.

Do you put down a coat of another wax first and then apply this as a topcoat?

No. No other products. First wash truck with Dawn dish soap to strip all another wax and oils.

Thanks. Would you do 2-3 coats at the same time for maximum protection?
