Agate grey vs Jet black on C4s?

yeah, I have the entire front end of mine and the rear quarters wrapped with xpel and then CQuartz on everything and it just needs light cleaning, usually just a run through the touchless car wash.

Black looks amazing when clean. Nothing looks as smart or rich as a clean, polished, black car.
I see many in this thread have gone with clear bra to help with their black cars. How long have you had the bra? Have you had peeling issues at any of the edges?

Did you go with Myabi coat or ISM Coat?
Maintain with Overcoat?
I ordered a bunch of their product but haven't applied yet.

Getting a Jet Black GTS in a couple of weeks and I'll be using tracwrap (a temporary clear bra - won't look pretty, but it will protect from stone chips) from the dealership to Detailing Dynamics.

ISM kamikaze. I add overcoat occasionally. 90% of the time I just wash (either wand or 2 bucket), then drag a big fluffy microfiber spritzed with meguairs quick detailer over the car. I never need to touch the wheels as brake dust and dirt do not stick (gyeon coated).

I'm also going Gyeon Rim, ISM Coat and maintain both with Overcoat.
As far as your use of a quick detailer over Kamikaze coatings, here's what Todd @ Esoteric told me to steer clear of...
"Sure you can use them, but it’s not optimal in the least bit. When you use a product like that, which includes polymers, you gain the properties of the polymers and lose the properties / characteristics of the coating. That’s also why you wouldn’t want to use a quick detailer or wax on top of coated vehicles."

It's interesting. I was maintaining with overcoat, but Todd said I was using it too frequently.
I only spritz a tiny bit of quick detailer on my microfiber to decrease any friction from the towel. I don't spray it on the car. Perhaps I should just leave it out altogether.
I have had good success with the QD on top of the Kamikaze. I will say, I avoid leaving raindrops on the kamikaze coating (even well after it's set in), as I have seen it etch a little.
