Default which clear coat to use??

Hey guys,
I used to use ppg 2002 clear coat and I had a few spots that started to haze over so I tore it all off and now im repainting my whole car again and I don't know which brands to use now.
Something that isn't going to take me weeks to wet sand and buff like the 2002 and isn't so expensive like it.
Thank you

I've been using the Nason Glamour clear lately. It lays nicely and the window to sand/buff is pretty large.

i think i would find out what caused the hazing? can you describe it better? was it sanded and just not buffed good enough? there are many many reasons for hazing, just trying to save you from doing it a 3rd time.

I use the Nason 498 a lot and most of the time don't have to wet sand or buff at all and at roughly 130 for gallon of clear and harder... can't go wrong.

Used some Refinish Solutions clear and it was like 65 for Gal clear and harder but it is a must wet sand and buff lol and you have to spray heavy coats

Matrix ms-42 is a decent, cheap clear.

matrix 42 works good we use it here,i wouldnt say its cheap.its a high solids and buffs pretty easy.but if you never sprayed a high solids then i wouldnt use it. they have a 52 that is cheaper and works good and its pretty hard to run it.

I should have worded it different...Matrix 42 is the cheapest clear Id use on anything for myself. I never cared much for the 52 but we have used it occasionally.

For general everyday repairs I usually use Matrix 42 with the 006 slow hardener
