I waited about an hour from the start of the first coat. I'm thinking that i will wait the 7 days, then wash the car with Reset and see what happens. Or would I be ok to wash with Reset before the 7 days are up? Cheers Phil

Well the hazing is back but this time much worst than the first time. I did a two step with Fixer and Reflect, and got KILLER results with the Meg's MF pads, then I put down two coats of CQUK. I ended up just having enough in the bottle for two coats. I would apply it to a panel, then apply it...

It's standard Ford paint so in-between hard and soft. Since this car is my DD I wanna get the most results out of Cquartz, especially during the winter months when the salt they put down is unreal, lucky for me I have the car Krowned every year; at least my underside is MINT lol! Cheers Phil

NECRO BUMP! Hello again everyone, just thought I would repost with some updates. First, when I mentioned about the dirt sticking to the paint, I didn't realize that the dust is normal until you wash the car; same as a traditional wax. As soon as you wash it the anti static properties will...

Ok good news everyone! From what I can see the hazing is gone! I'm assuming that the sun 'cured' the remainder of the haze. So all is well! The only reason I used the reload was because in the evening it was supposed to rain so I didn't want any water spots, but then it never did and still...

Yes I am in the next week or two. I have just enough left to do the paint and the glass as I have already don't the wheels and first layer on the paint :) I was thinking that's what happened, because the bottle I got with the kit has about a quarter of it left lol. So what do you guys suggest...

What's good everyone, got a little problem with the Cquartz UK that I put on my Crown Vic this afternoon. Before I go on I gotta say that I have never seen the blue look this deep holy! :D Keep in mind the car is almost ten years old and my DD but damn does it look good! :) Anyway a few hours...

This ^^^^ And plus after using the tire cleaner the Tuf Shine clearcoat is pretty darn good too! Heads up though TRIX stinks, but damn does it work. Cheers Phil

Ciao guys well the warmer weather is more or less finally here for Torontonians, were talking above zero but after the winter we had, above zero is warm to us lol. Anyway this week specifically Thursday and Friday for my town it is supposed to get up to 7C (45F) and a low of 2C (36F). I am...

Hey guys I got the 7424XP coming to me with 4 Lake County Pads and some Collinite 845 from eshine.ca I plan to do a full paint correction, but I need to know if the PC is powerful enough to remove my factory pinstripe? I don't want it to remove as I like it. Would it be safe to tape over it, or...

Tuf Shine blows every other tire shine out of the water, period.

I got another question, can I apply the 845 and then use a DA to apply ULW overtop? I am seriously considering picking up a PC 7424xp, which will make my life a heck of a lot easier, so what I would do is a layer of 845 will the PC, then a layer of ULW. Is this possible or will the finish...

Alright thanks for the headsup :)

Good point, your right using dish soap would be a better idea instead of UWW I was planning on doing that anyway I don't know why I put down UWW. After the dish soap I could do an IPA wipedown if I wanted to no? Is it possible to apply Megs UQW overtop of 845 or is that pretty pointless? Like...

Hey guys. As you know I am a big fan of the Megs Ultimate line, but I have been considering trying out Collinite 845 on my Crown Vic. I like the duribilty factor but I have heard that it doesn't make darker colors 'wet' which is what I am trying to achieve. What I want to do it do a full paint...

Update! It's been a little over a month now. The tires look a LITTLE bit dull, however we have had lots of rain this past month. Either than that they look good! Not going to bother to take pics. I reapplied the clearcoat, not nessesary but I like shiny tires (knock on wood) :D So this wraps up...

Hey guys I got a quick question. The barrels of my rims are disgustingly dirty with brake dust, maybe corrosion also not sure yet. I never got around to getting the wheels off to clean the insides of them, but I am doing a brake job soon (rotors and pads) and since I will be having the wheels...

Alrighty guys sorry for the delay I actually forgot all about the update. We have success at last! I ended up using the lacquer thinner on the tires and without a doubt in my mind, that was what fixed it. All the crap came out of my tires, and they are looking good! Thanks to Bob over at Tuf...

So after some debate I decided to give the lacquer thinner a try as suggested by Bob at Tuf Shine. When he first mentioned it I was kind of wary but at this point I'm willing to try anything. I got an old rag, soaked it, and slathered it on and rinsed off the tires. The back two tires are newer...

Wash them and wax them. Done. Trust me police cars get the crap beat out of them so it isn't worth the time and effort to do any paint correction. Whoever buys the car after its done as a police car can deal with it as it will be their personal car, but when it's still a police car, don't bother...
