    Just Finished Applying Optimum Gloss Coat

    I'll gladly tell any who will listen. I don't think it's just me that had this problem with the syringe. Somebody on facebook just commented saying they had the same problem with the Wolfgang coating syringe and I remember reading the syringe giving some people a hard time. It's really a shame...

    Just Finished Applying Optimum Gloss Coat

    Yeah, I wish I knew that before I tried to use that blue needle, but oh well. Live and learn. I still have a little left after doing 2 coats and losing a s*** ton of it. It's the 20cc syringe. Thank you!

    Just Finished Applying Optimum Gloss Coat

    I finally put a coating on my car. I spent whatever free time I had during the week polishing and prepping for the coating, which came in yesterday. Today I took half a day from work to coat the car. Went over everything again with the paint prep spray and proceeded to coat the car. I put the...

    Sounds good, I'll probably take you up on that offer someday when you're not too busy. I found you guys on instagram, I started following you.

    An open apology..

    I'm new to this "waterless wash" sorcery as well. I have yet to try a waterless wash. I order ONR with gloss coat. Can't wait to try it

    Prepping Plastic Trim For Cquarz DLUX

    Dlux was remarkably easy to use. I had an infinitely easier time than I did with UK when I used it. I think part of it was because it was almost 90% humidity and hotter than hell when I used UK. Trim looks much better, headlights and taillights were a breeze. I almost feel like I didn't do...

    Great work! And you're right in my backyard! I'm in Malverne, it's nice to see something like this from somebody so local.

    Prepping Plastic Trim For Cquarz DLUX

    Thanks, that's what I'll do. Hopefully the weather holds out today so I can do this. We got a stupid hurricane working it's way up the east coast

    Double Check My Procedure

    So a topper really doesn't do much for gloss coat. That's okay with me. I don't mind spraying some BSD on as a drying aid or just to add some water beading. Beside lasting on gloss coat, I was thinking about my little future experiment and decided it would be best to do it on my lease. The car...

    Prepping Plastic Trim For Cquarz DLUX

    I have Eraser, I can use both an IPA and eraser if that would help. I'll try it this afternoon when I get back from work. I'll go as thin as possible. I learned that the hard way with cquartz after doing my first car with it

    Double Check My Procedure

    I think I'm gonna do that then. I'll do half of a horizontal panel and vertical panel with BSD and the other half with opti-seal. Those who have used BSD have been saying it's more like a spray sealant than a QD. I saw a youtube video of BSD still beading and sheeting water at 2.5 months! It...

    Double Check My Procedure

    Thanks, I saw that yesterday! Funny timing, as soon as I ask that question, that video pops up lol. I commented on it and just noticed he replied. I ordered that as well, I should be getting it with the coating. I figured I'd look through my options before I decide what to use. Somebody...

    Prepping Plastic Trim For Cquarz DLUX

    I'm gonna apply DLUX to my plastic trim tomorrow. I know the trim has to be completely clean before application. My only question is, I used Carpro silica spray back in July on the trim to seal it, and noticed water still beads up relentlessly on the trim with that product. Is that going to make...

    Double Check My Procedure

    One more quick question. I was planning on using reload as a topper for gloss coat, but after reading numerous horror story of streaking and oily smears, I'm thinking of using a more user friendly topper. My car is black, so any streaks or smears will definitely be noticeable. I read a lot of...

    Double Check My Procedure

    That looks fantastic! I don't know why I didn't try that. Definitely something I will try next time, thanks!

    Double Check My Procedure

    Thank you everybody in this thread for your help and advice. I'll post the results when I'm done coating the car. I also have Cquartz Dlux for the plastic trim, headlights and taillights I have yet to open.

    Double Check My Procedure

    Depends when the coating comes. It will probably have some light dust on it by the time the coating comes. It won't be driven before then so it should be very light.

    Double Check My Procedure

    Okay, thanks. I thought it was something I did wrong. You think I should wash the car with ONR (even though it's gonna be clean) before applying the coating, just to knock off any possible remaining oils, or can I just use the optimum paint prep spray and go straight away to the coating?
