    Essence Plus - top it or leave it alone

    i used essence plus with a dual action polisher and a gloss pad on a coated cquartz uk panel that had some minor haze (from not wiping cquk off perfectly) It beaded perfectly okay for 1-2 months on, after that there was clearly a difference in beading in the spot i had polished but the spot...

    Gyeon Prime to remove marring

    thanks for the information! i did not know that it was not necessary to eraser after using essence. Also do you mean 2 coats of UK + reload or 1 coat of UK and 1 coat of Gliss + reload ? I'm not really looking forward to applying 2 coats of UK since it can be a little tricky at times :)! i've...

    Gyeon Prime to remove marring

    Hey, Thanks for the website, lots of detailed info there! I wanted to avoid carpro essence since i've seen reviews saying it can be finnicky, it can leave weird streaks and can dry on the paint while polishing making it hard to remove. but i can try and give it a shot. Is it true that CQUK is...

    Gyeon Prime to remove marring

    CQUK curing

    Thanks waiting 4 minutes left almost no streaks, also very gentle buffing with a boa fixed the first smears i made. Is reload a must after a coating or can i apply a sealant aswell?

    The best drying method/tools?

    Back & forth, barely touching the paint, the way the marring goes kinda tells me its from drying.. i still find it odd that it only happens to the lower part of my car.. (doors, hatchback trunk). i'm using Autobrite fluffy microfiber dryer and fluffer from chemical guys. I hope i can mask these...

    CQUK - beading reduced

    Yeah this is what i thought too, just a layer of 'product' that goes on top of the coating to fill in minor scratches. i basically used it to get rid of my Reload streaks. and it worked. Something strange must of have happend. Loach also had reduced beading as he posted earlier. Strange..

    First time CQUK

    Thank you for this information! i will definitly try this out on my next application. I did it this way: i divided most panels in half, and buffed the cquk in cross hatch patterns untill it felt dry, then i waited untill it started rainbowing (1-2mins later) and then i wiped it off. So if i...

    Hey, Thank you for this information! by towels u mean the CarPro Sloggers? or just low pile MF's? The outside temperature that day was 64F and humidity was 55% but i was working indoors in my basement garage. But the coating was rainbowing rather quickly like within 1-2 minutes after spreading...

    First time CQUK

    Thank you! i've watched this video and i heard him say at one point that you need to switch applicators alot because overtime it cures onto the applicator itself and then it leaves smears and all this mess. If the sun shines again i will have a look onto my hood. Its where i started and see if...
