    Clearcut Dust

    I’m trying Carpro clearcut for the first time. Trying to bring back to life a 2005 Xterra that has some oxidation on horizontal surfaces and just lots of swirls on vertical panels. The oxidized areas of the hood took a few iterations of the 2-3 light passes then 2-3 pressure passes to finish...

    What the heck did the dealer spray on my car

    I had my mustang into the dealer for a few mechanical items and they had it a week. I told them not to wash it, and from the look of it, they did not. It was clean when I dropped it off, and I know they had it parked outside and there were rain spots. I washed it after getting it home, using...

    Trim Restore on 14 year old Xterra

    I’m planning to try and bring life back to an older Nissan Xterra. The massive amount of textured trim was a dark dark grey when new, but there is a few small areas of black. Seems like a lot of folks highly recommend Solution Finish for heavily weathered and faded trim. Have a few questions...

    Tire coating and ceramic on wheels

    I’m pulling off the wheels to ceramic the barrel and spokes with CQUK. I also will apply Mckee’s Tire on the rubber while off. just curious if there’s a right sequence to doing this? I assume because CQUK needs to cure 24h, it should be last to avoid any water or contaminants? Was planning...

    Cquartz UK or DLUX for wheels

    I have searched around and plenty of threads where people state you can use either, but DLUX has higher heat protection of 800F. Does anyone have experience using both as a comparison? Anyo e know what the heat protection limit is for CQ UK? Is one easier to apply on wheels (black painted...

    Suggestions for applying Ceramic in Honeycomb grille

    Wondering if anyone has suggested ways of applying a ceramic to a plastic grille that had probably 100-150 small holes about 1/2” wide and 1/2” deep. The Grille is all clean and ready, and I have DLUX to apply. just trying to think of an easy way to apply and buff. Best I can come up with is...

    Cquartz uk cure then gliss

    I’m putting on CQ 3.0 today and plan to put on GLISS as top coat. It’s not my DD so I can either let CQ cure for a day and then GLISS or just the 4h min. In fact I can leave the CQ to cure all week if there’s any benefit as it’s in a garage. my question is whether there is any benefit to...

    GLISS V1 Package with V2 Sticker?

    I just received an order of GLISS. It said it was supposed to be V2, but it’s in the older V1 box from what the Carpro website shows. However, on the box is a V2 round sticker, and a tag on the bottle that has a date from October 2018. Anyone know if the V2 was/is sold in the original...

    Remove dealer applied coating

    When I found the Mustang with options I wanted, it had one I didn’t. Dealer applied ResistAll coating. It seems somewhat okay, but when washing water just doesn’t bead off, like I’m accustom to. Long time Zaino user, but planning to put CQuartz on it. After IronX and clay, I was planning to...

    I had dealer touch up a ding when taking deliver of a new car. They said they had to blend door and quarter panel paint as it was right on the door jam ridge and I side of door. I cannot tell the extents, as it looks factory new. They only had the car 48h. Should I wait some period before...

    New car and moving from Zaino to Ceramic

    For the last decade I’ve been faithfully using Zaino with multiple coats of Z5 and Z2. I’ve just purchased a new Magnetic Mustang GT and started looking at what new products may be out there. Wow, have things changed. I’ve ordered CQuarts UK 3.0 from here and plan to apply it this weekend...
