I'll vote Mother's carnauba paste.

If you're going to use EXO ($) then I would follow their recommendation and use Panel Wipe. I use Eraser alot and follow with CQuartz or conventional sealants/waxes......have not tried EXO. Some think Eraser might leave something behind that could interefere with EXO.

BFWD is impossible to completely get out of pads, so I imagine the BF TP&S would be very difficult also to clean up 100%. I've used BF pad cleaner to clean BFWD pads and did a so so job.....just clean it as best you can and dedicate that pad to the TP&S would be my advice.

FK425, PB S&G, CG Speed Wipe, Prima Slick.

Was curious what LSP was on the Z? I'm assuming the WGLS was applied over it. Looks great!

I agree with mg6045 (post #24). Corey's towel (Carpro) and the Woobie seem to be the same. The Metropolitan towel has longer fibers. All are great.

dogma, thanks for the info.

After 3-4 layers over a few months, I clean off everything and start again. It just seems fresher and "better" to clean and redo, rather than keep layering. I "try" to only polish once a year to conserve clearcoat.

Where's the Junkman when we need him?

I've used a few of their products and I second stibuki's comments (post #14 above). Their QD reminds me of CG's Speed Wipe.

After polishing and before the LSP I sometimes use a glaze. The abrasives in some glazes are mild and will not come into play if you apply it by hand or with a finishing (soft pad) and light pressure. Some acrylic based glazes can be applied under or on top of sealants or waxes. Glazes can...

Well said.

Great work. I've only used regular CQ, but it is a great product as well. Was a final wipe done with Reload?

I have many high quality MF towels which eventually lint....(Cobras, Zainos, Sonus). Sometimes I'll use a long nap MF for the waterless wash, then follow with the waffle weave to remove any lint.

I've started using waffle weave towels (16x24 size) for applying QDs and waterless washes to eliminate MF linting. Was wondering if others do too.

Yes, shipping costs can be high (25% to 60%+ of the order cost can be shipping), but AG service, promptness, shipping care, and assortment of products brings me back. And,as mentioned above, if a product is damaged, AG replaces it quickly.

I would wait and use Reload on the CQ. But, you could always do a test spot (small area). I doubt the OC would last very long on CQ. I have topped CQ with waxes and booster sprays (WGSS, HV7, etc) with no problems....as far as looks. Durability is not a big concern for me.

I've put wax on top of regular CQ. Looks great, not really concerned about the wax durability too much. I really don't see an oily surface from my waxes or sealants...slick yes, oily..not really. Also, with CQ, once Reload is applied the surface is pretty slick not grabby.

Out of boredom,I top OC with carnauba paste waxes. I figure if OCW is okay why not other carnuaba based products...not looking for durability.

Great work! I love the look of well detailed Corvettes. The blue ZR1 looks awesome!
