    More CQuartz Questions

    Reset works very well and plays nice with other brands of coatings as well. I apply if during the drying phase. Very nice product. For soaps I use Reset, and Gyeon Bathe+. Regular soaps can end up not working well as the waxes, and or polymers can make it look like a hazy film. For rinseless...

    Sealants, what are the differences?

    Car Pro reload is fantastic. I'm using it on coated and sealed cars and it looks great. Have not had a single issue with it at all

    Essence with LC CSC pads

    Yea pretty impressed with it so far. Hit it with essence and let it sit for a bit, then hit it with Gtechniq C1. It was in real good shape to start so I tried the Orange, White, and Black pads. Visually there was not really much difference, but it seemed to like the black pad the best at 4 on my...

    Essence with LC CSC pads

    Here is a shot using the Lake Country orange CSC pad. The paint was already in good shape for 21 year old paint. Just playing around with the pads I have, seems to be working pretty good.

    Essence with LC CSC pads

    Its on a 95 Z71 thats in really good shape. I have to wash and inspect if it needs claying. Then I will try a panel or two and see how it goes. The pads I have seen most using are not the pads I have. I have the CSC pads and it looks like most are using micro, or hybrid pads. I bought the big...

    Essence with LC CSC pads

    Quick question. I have some essence I would like to try. Will the LC CSC pads work ok with it? I have the orange, white, and black. Subject vehicle is in pretty good shape with minor swirls. Or should I order some different pads. Thanks.

    Too many options and opinions

    I would use some Menzerna FG400 on an orange pad. Easy to use and fantastic results. They changed the name recently. If fhe paint is not too bad you could also start with something leas aggresive like this. Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2500, one step polish, swirl remover, finishing polish, car...

    How much am I looking at for professional new car prep and coating?

    Rather have the coating absorb scratches than the clear. Using the right products and methods they are very easy to maintain. There are many soaps designed for coatings. Maybe I'm missing something in your post, but it is pretty much no different than normal washing, minus the product used.

    Family member garage damage

    Exactly I know I'm over the top about certain things.... like car condition. I know things get messed up from time to time. It just gets to me when it is blatant disregard, or lack of thought process. If you screw something up..... say something, it was a mistake. Do some damage, and hope I...

    Family member garage damage

    No your perfectly right here, thing is Im going to catch the action. I have a spare channel on the security DVR, and will add a wide angle cam in the garage. If I'm going to accuse, I'm going to have the evidence on cam. There should be no war with footage, then it is what it is.

    Family member garage damage

    It sure can, and that is exactly what is going on. I would be happy to show him how to do it again if the respect level rises. He does work, and is learning the stuff costs. Just need that to translate out of his little world, how lack of caring is costing others.
