This was the first time I worked with a coating and I think I did pretty well. This weekend I'm going to be doing my wife black car and will be applying Cquartz, lets see how that works out. As for the tips I first used P21S polishing soap and then followed it up with Menzerna metal polish.

So I go the EcoSmart lights from Home Depot which I'll be using this weekend. Hopefully they do a good job.
