I’ve got a 1982 Mercedes 300CD with original metallic blue clear coat paint. It looks really good overall, but there are some minor swirls on the hood. There are also a few dull spots in the paint. I washed the car today, then dried it (air dried by driving) and parked it. Under very...

My DD in non-ideal weather is my 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid. Owned it since new, got CQuartzUK shortly after purchase. Has gotten a steady diet of HydrO2 after most every wash. Havent washed the car since around March. Cant believe I let it go so long but it’s life (and attending to the other...

I like Meguiars #57 for rubber, especially when cleaning is needed to remove bakes on pollen and residue. But it has 1-5 or some percentage TSP. TSP is an alkaline cleaner/degreaser that is known to remove gloss, at least on gloss and/or lead household paints. One should always be careful...

Winter is coming and I wanted to get a coat of sealant on the top of my BMW 135i convertible. It never gets used below freezing or when there is any sign of salt on the roads, but I do try to run it on occasion during the winter, including rainy days. Ive used BMW liquid protectant since new...

The car in question: 2011 BMW 135i Converitble, LeMans Blue. Bought it new. Has only ever seen Zaino until I just migrated over to CQuartz UK and the CarPro system. 13k miles. Never seen salt. For the years it has had Zaino on it, Ive observed funny drip lines. Now, the car does have a...

I bought this car new in August, but have not washed it yet due to fears of marring black paint. So far, it seems that my technique did not do any damage, and the paint reflects great. Unfortunately the day I did it, and the days after, it was really cloudy, so getting daytime reflection shots...

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...

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...

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...

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...
