I have used Transtar Motor City Clear. $55 for a sprayable gallon. Have only used it on small stuff.
Looks decent when it leaves. Dont know how it holds up long term.

The push transtar clear big around here, but the ones selln it even tell you to to shy away from motor city.
we’ve been using matrix ag40. winds up around $25 RTS QTthe shop across the street from me is useing it.there adding a gloss and flow enhacer that the matrix rep sample them ,keeps it from dieing back after polishing,ill have to see how its working in this cold weather.how are you mixing it???/ are you bakeing it,if so how long how hot???
Previously I have used the Nason 496 &497 clears. They seem pretty decent and very inexpensive, and they have given good lasting results. Lesonal Pro Air is awesome, but more of a mid-range product.
Utech MS clear,4.0 clear(with a touch of slow),lesonal universal or glamour clear x2 on what ding said about AG40.
Matrx AG40 is mixed 2:1. no flow enhancer. no reducer. only had it die once and that was when we added a little reducer to get around on a complete. no problem bakn it ether
have to try ag-40, just finishing a gallon of 465-00 nason,have used the pro air in the past nice stuff, mid range for sure$$$,i have a gallon of lesonal LV clear,any one have any exp????solid content?? can seems extra heavy
This is Transtar Euro Kwik Clear. No booth, not buffed. Cheaper than AG-40, which I’ve also used on the last 3 trike bodies. This job just came back because the shipping company damaged the body. Looks the same now as when I shot it in June of this year.

Never used Matrix but it seems to get good reviews. I have no experience with Transtar, seems to get mixed reviews.

Only 2 nibs on top under where the seat mounts, a couple tiny ones on the fender sides. They all don’t come out this clean but I try. You know the drill, cleanliness and prep. If I cut a corner I pay for it. And as to be expected, I sometimes get dust when I think I won’t and get none when I think I should.yes mixed reviews on the transtar as welll .i used the euro classic 7021 for 2 years ,then they changed it,re formula was never the same,what are you paying for the euro kwik 7211$$$$$, on the utech,were are you guys buying ,i cant find it in my area????
