Thank you for the help! I'm going to get everything in order and post a thread of the process and the final results!

So I should wash, IronX/clay the car, polish polish polish, then Essence, cQuartz cQuartz cQuartz cQuartz, then top with Essence+? Or is the Essence+ before the coating?

That's ok, I have a few bottles of Speed Shine sitting around that can be used on the other vehicles. Is it just due to compatibility issues or do other sprays break down the coating?

I've never seen anybody apply multiple layers of cQuartz (maybe just due to cost). Do you have any threads where you show a car that you've done that to? I'd like to check it out and see the final results.

You're right, I'm not really up for wet sanding my OEM paint. I have a good routine and I'm very happy with the finish, the car looks better than it did new. I just don't have much experience with the new coatings, and I'm not familiar with how much of a gain in appearence there is vs normal...

I have a black Mustang that I'm looking for better depth and more gloss. I currently use a Griot's random orbital with Griot's polishes and pads, and use Blackfire Wet Diamond for protection. I'm looking at maybe going to a coating like cQuartz, Opti-Coat, etc (with the appropriate prep work)...

Good to see fellow Mustang owners who care about proper detailing! You have a nice stang yourself, love the Coyote S197s.

Greetings from Texas/Kansas! I'm currently in the process of moving from Texas to the Kansas City area. I've been lurking here for a long time, reading up on reviews, but I've never gotten too involved, looking to change that. My wife and I currently own a 1997 Honda Del Sol, a 2006 Mustang...
