One more thought... Should I apply uber ceramic to parts that will have the 3M paint protection film?

Here's a question, can I put synergy on top of uber ceramic after its cured or would it not stick well? Also is there a way to replenish uber ceramic kind of like qcuartz has that spray?

I have a black Mercedes AMG S63 on order that is coming in a few months. I've been detailing cars for over ten years but have not been in the loop the last 4 years or so. I believe the car comes shipped with plastic on the paint. Due to this I'm thinking I would not need to clay the car? I...

Sap isn't quite the right description... Its like a waxy glue like substance. Sounds crazy to me too but thats what it did.

What removes dried on ONR? I put CQuartz on my car about a month ago. A few days ago I wiped off some spots/road grime off my hood and front end with a water/ONR mixture but didn't remove the left over ONR. Apparently it had some kind of reaction with CQuartz and made this sticky sap like...

They're high quality MF from AG, I use the short loop side, and use micro-restore to launder.

I've been away from the detailing world for about 5 year and just getting back into it. Since I'm back I noticed Riccardo clay is available in the US. Why isn't everyone using this stuff? When it wasn't available its all people talked about when the subject of clay came up. Does it not live...

Here's a sample, when I try to wipe it with a microfiber all it does is smear more. Even spots that look fine will start to smear if I wipe it with a microfiber. I'm thinking diluting it is the answer.

Thats just how I used it...

I ordered it about 2 months ago, just CQuartz, not the UK version.

Its black, yeah diluting it might work.

Yes did a very thorough IPA wipedown... not sure why but I've read others on here also had the same problem, the paint didn't feel slick at all. I followed the directions with how soon to wipe it off, used the suede microfibers also.

After waiting a few weeks and washing the car the problem areas were gone, they came back after the next application. The reason I used reload is the paint didn't feel slick or have the wet look I was looking for with just CQuartz.

So I applied CQuartz about a month ago, then several weeks after I applied Reload. I used it sparingly and wiped off the residue. Well tried to wipe off the residue, all it does is smear. So I waited a few weeks, washed the car and it was fine. Tried to apply Reload again and even places...

It was a brand new bottle though?

Ahhhh... Well now I know :props:

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Yes it was cleaned very well... I've put several coats on before washing it... Before the wash it looked fine. Now its kind of like only parts of it got absorbed making it look spotted... Maybe I should clean it again with APC or an IPA wipedown?

I used Gummi Pfledge on some rubber seals on a 2011 Mercedes E550 and got this spotting after I washed it. I tried rubbing it out and the spots won't go away. Any suggestions? :confused:

I read that regular pads work just fine. Maybe, but Rupes pads work a whole lot better.
