Yes, I plan to leave the front end with no protection just for that reason. Now I'm considering just correcting the front end and waiting until the Xpel is done to do the rest. Thanks for the replies.

I'm taking my car next week to have Xpel ultimate installed on the front end of my car. I'm in the middle of a paint correction right now, and I am planning on coating it with CQUK once the correction is finished. Here's my dilemma: It's cold and rainy here now (40-55F), and although I'm...

Yes, I do know the difference between the types of polish, but I'm not exactly sure how I need to modify my technique to account for it. No issue removing the reflect.

So I've completed a couple panels and half of the carbon fiber roof using the Reflect and white pads on the paint and a gray finishing pad on the roof. I'm not sure if the Reflect is having much effect on the paint. Even on a 50/50 test under multiple types of lighting, I can't see any...

In the process of doing the initial correct/protect on a new Mineral White BMW using my PC 7424XP. In the past I've been very happy the 105/205 combo with the KB method but decided to expand my horizons with the new car. The main issue I have is on the gloss black trim on the B pillar trim...

I agree, that's why I'm still doing the polishing step. That said, I have inspected it under every type of light I can imagine . . . 1000 watt halogen work light, LED flashlight, Brinkmann dual xenon, noon sun, evening sun, garage fluorescents, and I can't find any micro marring.

I didn't get to the ring, but I've been there twice before and have about 15 laps under my belt. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll try that and see how it works.

In the middle of the initial correction and detail of my Mineral White 2015 M3 and have some questions. I did European Delivery where it was cleaned and prepped at the BMW welt, and has only ever been washed by me using the Gary Dean method. Here's my planned process: Wash with ONR (Done)...

Thanks for the quick replies. No CQUK on the front of the car then.

To clarify, I'm mostly concerned about the Xpel Ultimate not adhering to the paint properly with CQUK applied to it. As long as the coating won't affect the Xpel installation, I'll go ahead and do it.

Yeah, that would be ideal, but the timing isn't. After the clear bra is installed I'll be out of town for a month, and by then, the weather may or may not cooperate. I need to get the major correction/protection work done this weekend so I can drive it without worrying too much.

I'm doing the initial detail, correction, and seal on my 2015 M3 this weekend. I have an appointment in 2 weeks to have Xpel Ultimate installed on the front end. Can I apply CQUK to the areas of the car that will eventually be covered by the Xpel, or should I leave those areas un-sealed (or...
