I guess I'm not clear why you're asking the question if you have already answered it in your own head. Final Inspection (and other QDs) are not designed to remove fillers. Eraser, Panel Wipe, etc. are. IPA is dirt cheap and Eraser isn't exactly exorbitant. Plus, it smells awesome.

I used to use M105 quite a bit, but have switched happily to FG400. Less dust, more forgiving to use, and much easier to remove. Just too bad it smells so strong.

Strong APC followed by Solution Finish would probably be your best bet...

I'm with you - my '02 Infiniti Q45 and the wife's '05 Infiniti QX56 both have CQuartzUK on them, and I couldn't be happier. When customers bring vehicles I've coated in for maintenance washes, I think "Man, this is great", because I know it'll only take me 45 minuets tops to get them straight.

Says who? Some products (i.e. M105) get quite a bit of assistance from spray detailer.

There are three main joys to coatings, IMO: 1. Maintenance - it's SO much easier to wash\dry. 2. Appearance - especially on dark colors, it just looks like a deep, glossy candy. 3. Scratch protection - even traditional CQuartz adds at least some protection. Adding an LSP will negate a large...

Agreed - I use these as well, typically with the Meguiar's Detailers bottles.

Ohhh, I never thought about using the post's shop! We've got a pretty decent one here at Fort Gordon... I work out of my garage, I typically drive them back to their house\apartment\workplace, or they have a ride already arranged.

D300\DAMF would probably be a good bet, since you want to stick with slower speeds for that system.

As much as I love FG400, I would prefer M105 for this use (quite a bit less heat). Since M105 dries fairly quickly, you can regularly spray with distilled water or a detailer to not only extend working time, but cool down the surface some. Here's an excellent read on dealing with Nissan's...

My wife makes me store mine inside a Rubbermaid...

Nice job - that thing was hammered! SLK55 AMG is one of the three vehicles I'm looking at next... (SL550 and S550 being the other options).

Manufacturer description: CarPro Reset Intensive Car Shampoo is a specially formulated shampoo that is designed to gently release dirt and grime without damaging the underlying coating – ie: Cquartz or any other quartz-based nano coating. CarPro Reset Intensive Car Shampoo is extremely...

A lot of spray dressings will.

Beautiful car and awesome work - looking forward to seeing your buildup.

I prefer waffles for drying, and plush for removing residues (compound, polish, wax, sealant).

This - Menzerna polishes seem to be particularly oily. But oh how I love them (except for FG400's smell - blech).

Dude, awesome work! I didn't even realize it was blue until I got to the first 50\50 shots...

That's kinda what I was thinking. I'm not terribly impressed with Reset for a regular basis, but for a decon wash it seems to work well enough.

Any recommendations for rinse free shampoos for coated vehicles? So far Meguiar's Rinse Free Express Wash (D114) is the only one I'm finding that doesn't talk about adding gloss\etc. It's mostly for my personal vehicles, they're both coated with CQuartzUK.
