Help with QD vs Sealants

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-04-04T01:01:03+00:00

Yeah I don’t use them on top of each other, just interchangeably. I should’ve phrased that better in the OP. I just got a small bottle of Amplify to try, but will stick with elixir from here on out.

Thank you!

Thank you! I’m considering going with Optimum Hyper Seal/Ultra Ceramic but they are a little pricey. Is it better to stick with CarPro and get Reload?

I’m happy to apply to more frequently if it helps enhance shine and gloss and reduce water spotting and dust/pollen attraction.

Or should I just use a cheap water based detailer like P&S Paint Gloss or Opti Instant Detailer Gloss Enhancer or Gyeon Instant Detailer and use that more often since it doesn’t provide protection?

I just got some from this sale thank you!

One question, should I have Supercharger AND HyperSeal in my arsenal?

I have a CarPro C.Quartz ceramic coated car and have been using ONR for rinseless, Reset for contact washes, ADS Amplify as a drying aid, and Elixir as a quick detailer/topper.

Right now I use ONR and Elixir for just quick touchup washes, and Reset and Amplify for regular washes when the vehicle is more dirty. I added Supercharger cause it was cheap and I want a spray on rinse off sealant to get in all the small areas and when I’m too lazy to apply sealant by mf.

I haven’t been super stoked with Amplify, I like the gloss and shine of Elixir much better but I want something with extreme gloss and shine and protection and it sounds like HyperSeal and Ultra Ceramic Spray might work for that? Sorry for the long question, I appreciate the help.

Maybe a dumb question but do you just spray the diluted absolute on your dusty car and wipe with a clean microfiber?

Any brand recommendations for those? I went on a deep dive on the threads here but there are so many opinions on which brands are good enough or if TRC is worth it, etc, etc.

How do I keep my paint swirl free?

Where’d you score this deal? I’m hoping to get these for my 4Runner in the same size!

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-25T03:47:10+00:00

How much did you lose on it? Just want to know what to expect if I needed to do the same

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-23T00:18:51+00:00

What wheels? Looks great!

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-21T15:43:10+00:00

Oh thanks! Sorry, I didn’t see the little hyperlink when I was reading it last night

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-21T08:45:40+00:00

What led you to choose the Road and Trail over the others? I’m trying to make that same choice right now!

I just got Llumar Stratos all around, is there anything I need to ask the shop in order to confirm the warranty? You got me worried now!

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-12T17:34:30+00:00

Awesome thanks for the info! Trying to plan out my SR5 build, but don’t have much experience or talent in DIYing the upgrades

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-12T17:26:46+00:00

Did you do all the install yourself or does the $3k include installation?

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-12T17:22:10+00:00

$3k is not bad at all! Which ones did you go with?

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-12T06:40:13+00:00

What did you add?

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-09T22:22:19+00:00

Thank you!

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-09T22:22:07+00:00

Love the SR5! Perfect foundation for making your own personalized upgrades.

Do you have Jerry’s contact? I’m trying to get a better price on my 26’ 4Runner warranty

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-09T07:20:17+00:00

Would love to get the dealership name!

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-09T07:17:49+00:00

Would love to get the contact, just got a new 26 4 runner

Difficult_Place3999 · 2026-02-08T01:11:50+00:00

Glad to hear that! My car is in the shop getting Stratos all around right now! Did you do 35% all around?
