The Costco towels are probably close to 300 I'm guessing and they did not leave anything behind on a couple areas I had to touch up or on the wheels which I coated today. I thought the Cobra Gunmetals would be good since they're good at removing other LSPs. What are your thoughts on applying...

I can't tell you anything from first-hand experience but I applied CQUK to my car for the first time this weekend. After a lot of good input from people here, particularly The Guz, I decided to go with Gliss. I'll be applying it tomorrow.

I started with a Cobra Gunmetal Elite 360gsm and a Supreme 530 600gsm as my secondary. After I noticed the problem I switched to A Woobie Towel 350gsm and a Miracle Towel 600gsm. Same problem with all. Since I need to get the Gliss on it this weekend I just ran out to Costco and grabbed a bag...

HELP PLEASE! So I went through the process today, wash, decon, polish with Essence, IPA wipe, and applied CQuartz UK 3.0. Here's my problem...I got about 1/3 of the way around the car and when I shined the utility light I was using along the side of the car I noticed significant fibers coming...

I recently picked up CarPro MultiX and I'm pleased with it. It has many dilution ratios for various tasks. I've used it on the exterior and interior with good results. It seems like my 1L bottle will last me a while, too. For really tough dirt, like jambs and engine bays on dirty cars I...

Again, my primary question right now is about mitigating potential for water spots in the first week.

My intent was to only have one companion product to help with this. I suppose I could get both if you tell me it's going to make a massive difference but as I mentioned before all these support products for coatings that are supposed to be so strong and high quality on their own really makes me...

I kind of read your reply two different ways. Do I want Reload or Gliss to protect from water spots?

My goal is to do one polishing step. I figured that would be with Essence just to help the coating that comes after unless someone tells me using just the Menzerna is 100% better.

Well I got CQuartz UK 3.0 for my wheels and then decided I will use it for the whole car even though I wasn't planning on going in that direction and am still suspect of everything involved with maintaining coatings. I have some light factory-installed scratches that I need to remove. I have...

If you want something that protects from road salt and still gives you some shine, it sounds like Cquartz UK 3.0 is what you're looking for.

Well I got part of my answer yesterday... It was a nice-ish day and I had the itch so I went out to do a little work on the S2000. I wanted to use HD Speed. I noticed the consistency was thick and very slight cottage cheese texture but nothing was separated so I went ahead. The first...

I'd put Power Lock up against anything in that poll. I'm surprised it's not one of the options.

Really nice work! Curious: did you remove the mirror assemblies to polish them on their own and have better access to the paint around the bracket?

The bottle of SF4500 is 32oz. The SF1500 and HD Speed are 16oz. I got both Menzerna polishes as my first foray into polishing along with a PC DA polisher. At the time I had no idea how long a 32oz bottle would last! Once you take care of your car, particularly if it's new, you may never have...

For a weekend warrior a big bottle of polish can be a lifetime supply! I have bottles of Menzerna SF4500, Menzerna SF1500, and HD Speed that are aging. The Menzerna products are ~6 years old the HD Speed is ~4 years old. My question is does polish expire or go bad? Do certain chemicals...

Yeah, if you put it in the opaque Megs bottle and cant' see how the 845 mixed, you may not be getting much of it. Even after sitting inside at room temperature for a while it will 'gel' and needs a vigorous shake and ideally some heat to flow again.

Good comparison. Of those four it would be between Moonlight and CarPro Lite for me.

Yeah I'll add that I have a Master Blaster and on my new M340i which I've only been using Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer (while I decide on a LSP and wait for the weather to warm up) there isn't quite enough hydrophobicity for me to go around the car fast enough to not have some water...

Haha yes I have been watching a lot of Apex Detailing's channel and also some Forensic Detailing as well. Thanks for posting this, I haven't seen it yet so I'll check it out.
