Thank you. Yes TAW is great. I don't love the cost but if I have something really dirty I know TAW will get it clean and I can let it dwell without damaging the clear while I finish something else.

Today I detailed the car of a friend from work. Every day when I would walk by it in the parking lot (before we were made to work from home) I would notice the buildup of swirls and micro scratches on the hood and dirty wheels. It couldn't be saved with anything but a deep clean and paint...

Thanks, guys! I just washed the car for the first time today following the coatings. Some wind and rain blew buds from a nearby tree all over the car. Easiest wash I've ever done. Starting with the wheels, the pressure washer cleaned them completely and the beading was beautiful. The finish...

That is fantastic! Awesome transformation! Thank you for sharing! It must've taken awful lot of product to get that kind of splatter, even so the results speak for themselves.

Lots of iron on that bad boy! Nice work. We used to have a white MDX (prev. gen.) and it was a fantastic car.

Thanks. Tough crowd over there. The X5 has Polish Angel Cosmic V2 on it. It has slowly been degrading so I'd imagine it will be time for something else in another 2-3 months.

I don't know about 110 degrees but it's still decent.

Thanks for the kind words, guys! I really appreciate it. I didn't mention it in the OP but the CQ UK 3.0 looks like water in the bottle but felt more like honey during application, Gliss was very forgiving to apply and remove. Haven't decided how I'm going to maintain it yet. My wash is...

Correct, 30ml kit of each.

The metallic flake really pops, nice!

Haha. Thanks, I'm glad you think that because it didn't feel that way at some points. It was my first time with a liquid coating like this. The only thing I had going for me was watching every CQ UK 3.0 application video YouTube had to offer!

First of all I'd like to thank everyone who posted in my "help me decide what to use" thread, particularly The Guz who helped give me some confidence when I thought things went terribly wrong (more on that later). So I chose CQuartz UK 3.0 and Gliss despite still being dubious of coatings: 2...

I'd definitely agree with that! On one hand I want to do CQUK again on another car soon so I can improve my technique, but on the other hand perfection is difficult with these things, especially in a home setting. The other coating I have experience with is Polish Angel Cosmic V2. The...

NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Even wearing my Scangrip headlamp on top of it still didn't tell me what daylight did. I opted to go inside for the coating because the paint was very hot out in the sun and rain was rapidly coming in (two opposite extremes).

The two "bad" spots were the same area on opposite sides of the car, the front fender going onto the front bumper by the headlight. I didn't realize the other side until yesterday. The first side which I caught right away I masked off with painter's tape. It produced noticeable lines even...

Took the car into the daylight today. Found a fairly significant area of rainbowing going from the LF fender onto the bumper. I fixed that using Essence and the Uro Fiber pad. Walked around the car, found a few other small spots, fixed them. Walked around the car again and found more spots...

Sorry I missed this thread. I just went through the exact same thing at almost the exact same time and talked about it in my thread "New M430i Help Me Decide What to Use". First time using CQUK 3.0. I thought my MF towels were nice and clean. I was using Cobra Gunmetal Elite 360gsm (short...

I was concerned but the reasons I did it are 1. The fibers were still mobile despite being introduced with the CQ. 2. The usage instructions really discourage getting the car wet during the process.

So I went with The Guz' response and applied Gliss. Relief. Before I applied I used one of the new MFs to wipe off some dust that landed overnight and it took some of the fibers with it. As I applied Gliss what I hoped would happen, did. At the end of each stroke fibers that accumulated...

You're thinking go ahead with Gliss even with the fibers there? Either the application of Gliss and removal with new MFs will remove them or they won't cure onto the finish either way?
