    CQuartz UK on 2011 BMW 135i Convertible (LeMans Blue)

    Im slowly but surely getting CQuartz UK on all my cars. Reason being that it is a resilient coating that is easy to put on, and can be applied as a system with HydrO2 and HydroFoam, as well as Reload, Reset, etc. So like the others, I used Dawn and then Iron X. This car drips water in an...

    Odd white spots on black car, a few days after CQUK

    I hijacked that thread... I used a CCS green pad with Optimum Hyper Polish. The paint felt fully smooth by the baggie test... Its beading dew like crazy... And tonight it was pouring and the water just flung right off when driving. Very nice... But when it spits rain and it dries, more...

    Odd white spots on black car, a few days after CQUK

    I put these pictures into another person's thread over on ask the expert, but I think they may warrant their own discussion... What are these spots??? 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid - Black. I applied CQUK on Saturday afternoon, it certainly didn't rain or even get dew for many hours after...

    What Are These Spots??

    Ok, I think these work. Went to a gas station where there were brand new LED lights. I applied CQUK on Saturday afternoon, it certainly didn't rain or even get dew for many hours after application. In fact it never rained since I applied, though am dew may have happened. But as I said, didn't...

    What Are These Spots??

    I'm seeing tiny dots like that on my black Accord Hybrid. Only have an iPhone 4s with me and haven't gotten a satisfactory shot, yet. Two days after prep and application of CQUK. Looked great yesterday (cloudy day though) when trying to get SLR shots....

    Does Dawn original leave horrible residues? Or is this from drying too fast?

    Does Dawn original leave horrible residues? Or is this from drying too fast?

    Fair enough. Probably so. Didn't get very much foaming on the smallest (most dilute) ratio, so I moved up one. Good input, greatly appreciated.

    Does Dawn original leave horrible residues? Or is this from drying too fast?

    Honestly, I don't have s good answer. That's why I came over here to learn. I didn't want to aggressively polish since the van is new, and only had a marginal wax job done at the dealer. My going in thought was that I didn't know that polish/eraser would remove everything, so since i had to...

    Does Dawn original leave horrible residues? Or is this from drying too fast?

    That's actually something I was hoping that someone would weigh in on. I've always figured a traditional wash is faster, but use of onr even as a drying agent might be useful...

    Does Dawn original leave horrible residues? Or is this from drying too fast?

    So its odd that I dont usually get this. So I have to wonder if it is because of the near-drought conditions, that the aquifer is getting higher TDS, which leaves this...

    Does Dawn original leave horrible residues? Or is this from drying too fast?

    Was stripping the odyssey today in anticipation for polish and CQuartz UK. It was high 70's, clear and dry, and I was out of the direct sun, shaded by some trees. I kept getting this sort of residue on my panels. I washed with Dawn dish soap for the purpose of stripping. I rinsed it very...

    Mods, sorry this is a double post. Can you merge replies in this one with the other thread of the same title?

    First time use of CQuartz UK on 2014 Honda Odyssey

    CQ UK wiped very easily in our climate, like 70s and relatively low humidity. If anything, it was flashing a tad bit too fast, as Id like to have done a bit more surface before wiping each time... But it probably kept me honest.

    First time use of CQuartz UK on 2014 Honda Odyssey

    After washing the Odyssey a few weeks ago, I realized that the van is expansively huge compared to any cars Ive ever owned, and so keeping up the paint would be a major hassle. Meanwhile it seems that Hondas have soft paint, and its a relatively rich and dark color, Obsidian Blue Metallic...
