Follow the instructions on whatever LSP you are using... A wax or sealant usually will not state that you need to wipe with any sort of prep solvent. You can reapply waxes and sealants after a simple wash if you desire. Most coatings, however, will state that it is critical to remove all...

That is essentially my process for the majority of coatings. As far as CQuartz goes, the suede works OK, but they have recently stopped sending suede towels with their Finest kits and now send a short nap microfiber instead as many of the installers had found those work better at leveling...

I've had a bottle of this sitting around for a few months... looking forward to trying it out.

I apply with a CarPro Block and Suede, I don't prefer the supplied GTechniq Applicator. For wipe off, I use a shorter nap microfiber towel followed by a medium nap microfiber towel. I do not prefer suede towels for removing the coating residue.

Prep work is pretty consistent across the board with nano coatings. The real differentiation comes with the actual application process. Some coatings require a lot of attention to wipe off times, type of towels used, ambient conditions (temp and humidity), etc etc etc. These are my favorite...

FWIW - Essence relies on a certain amount of heat buildup to break down the oils in the polish (so I have been told) and therefore if Essence is used in a manner that does not generate enough heat (<- though I have never been told what quantifies "enough") it can interfere with the coating. For...

The purpose of a glaze is to help hide/fill imperfections in order to create a smooth and glossy surface. In order to do this, a glaze must leave behind residue that can fill in these imperfections. You will notice on the CarPro instructions for applying CQuartz and CQuartz UK, it specifically...

Essence is a primer polish that contains SiO2 resins which will cooperate with SiO2 coatings. Essence Plus is a form of protection that also contains SiO2, but is not meant to be used beneath a coating as a primer. Essence Plus is meant to be used on top of an existing coating to fill/hide...

I also dress that area and have never had issues... Are you running OEM wheels & tire sizes?

Nope, a very small company actually :) Feel free to PM me if you wanna chat

Yeah, just the way it smells and feels... similar to MS in my opinion. Hmm - I've never experienced that. When needed, we spray tarminator onto a towel and then simply wipe the tires with the towel, then wipe with a wet towel afterwards. Works like a charm to remove stubborn build up and that...

5 gal? That is quite a bit now that I am not working professionally. It would take me years to get through that. Do you want to sell a gallon of it :)

I will operate under the principal of "only use a heavier solvent if/when needed"... and not for regular cleaning. So the same thing I do now.

Brake Cleaner used to clean Tires? Found this old thread... answers my question

Does anyone use a solvent like Mineral Spirits for tire cleaning? I traditionally use Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner and scrub my tires with a brush, however when there is serious gunk on them I have always just sprayed tarminator onto a towel and easily wiped the gunk away... I just get tired of...

Looks great! Love that color

We also suggest polishing the car to prep for a coating, even if it does not appear there are defects, a light machine polish is the only real way to ensure the surface is completely clean (in addition to the proper cleaning and decontamination steps prior to polishing). Keep in mind, if you...

Just for the sake of making sure...... did you shake it well? When left to sit, FCC (and most other products) will separate and therefore will seem quite thin. I buy FCC by the gallon, and you have to shake it very well before distributing to smaller bottles or else it is pretty runny. It...

I never had any complaints about quick books. The mobile app was easy enough to use, and the full website was also nice.

Looks great, Kevin! You're going to love all the extra space.
