Yeah, guess I shoulda qualified that statement a little bit, eh?
Premier is quite nice, works very well but just didn`t give the overall satisfaction of some other of my favorites. Was just missing some of the `giggly-fun` and overall satisfaction of stuff like Kami & PA.
So if I`m choosing between 2 equals like Feynlab & IGL, gotta go lower cost in the absence of entertaining intangibles.
At least that`s the story I`m going with...

That helps because I have seen so many good reviews for IGL but I was looking for a reason not to buy. I don’t like the high price. I might get some slack for this but it’s the same reason I don’t try polish angel or at least the reason why J have stayed away.
Overcoat & Cosmic do better for me than Feynlab or IGL which, in my eyes are functionally equivalent. If I had to use Feynlab or IGL only, Feynlab gets the nod due to cost. I`ve also had some very nice talks w the Feynlab folks in the past so I also prefer Feynlab as an entity which I suppose may sway me towards them as well.
IGL had a lotta hype associated with it a year or so ago (a la Angelwax, Beadmaker when they were first released/avaliable) so it was tough to find a bad review about it. Not that it deserved a bad review as it is a very good product in its class, *among* the best in the segment but impartial opinions were hard to find. It`s the equal of many good choices (like Feynlab) but the higher cost is notable given the lack of other notable (or intangible) advantages.
Value is such a hard thing to quantify given the overall subjectivity of appearance. In 2017 Spring/Summer/Fall I was using Overcoat nearly exclusively after each wash, largely because it made `pre-air dryer` drying so much easier in addition to refreshing the looks/performance. With 3 cars getting washed bi-weekly, the 250ml bottle I bought in Spring was still 1/3 full by Fall so I got a lot of use outta that $80 purchase, stretching it over 2 seasons. Sticker shock at purchase perhaps but over the long haul, really not that bad.
And while Polish Angel is pricey and doesn`t really have a stellar reputation for durability/longevity, it`s just such a satisfying product line for me. Has a unique look, ease of use is outstanding and it`s just plain fun. Kinda like crack I guess...highly impractical, economically damaging but immensely addicting to some

If I had a full car available I would do the Feynlab / IGL comparison. But I don’t really want to break the seal on them for a 2’x2’ area and not use again for 6 months (not sure the shelf life on these).

Id recommend staying away from Polish Angel. Budgets crack comparison is spot on. You wont need to buy more..... so youll tell yourself.... find yourself at 1AM after a coupon sent unnecessarily looking through the website.... longing.... maybe ill just get one.....

I don`t have any other sio2 type spray sealants to compare IGL Premier to but I wasn`t blown away by it. I prepped and even one stepped the truck and applied Premiere like it was a coating with overlapping criss cross pastern and even did two coats. Even went so far to maintain it and use IGL Ehnahncer as a drying aid. It was amazing beading wise and self cleaning for the first couple months, can`t comment on looks as it`s a white truck. Seemed very coating lite to me but started to taper off faster than expected. It may have been pollen season as it seems to "clog" an LSP regarding water behavior on flat panels. This is actually what made me first purchase Reset, which it did bring the beading back to some degree. Don`t recall the interval but a few months into it I lightly reapplied a couple times to hood and other lacking areas which brought the beading back but was shorter lived than the original application.
I decided to move on from Premier, knowing that it should be a really great topper for something if need be. I moved on to Cquartz Lite and it blows the performance of Premiere away. I`m at 8 months in and the vertical panels look the same as they did the first week. The hood is starting to lose the tight beads but a little bit of home brewed Elixir fixed that. With the quantity of the 150ml bottle I`m guessing you have about the same number of applications as a bottle of Premier.
