Good stuff!!!
Very user friendly !
Ronkh57,
Have you by chance tried the Coating? I watched a vid, the process and Suede MF Sheets and Foam Pad Block look basically identical to a CQuartz Application.
Differences, which perhaps you can further comment on perhaps, would/could be ease of application, and in what ways? Possible greater temperature latitude from ideal for application, a larger time frame for final wipe possibly?
I know you've been critical of Carpro in the past, seems that your dislikes were mostly aimed at Reload, and customer service. Don't recall you having problems with CQuartz though.
I didn't at all like that fubarred "new and improved" Reload from a couple years back, and got stuck returning an entire Liter on my dime to AG. That sucked. The new one I now have IMO is not the equal of the Reload of old, they should've never toyed with the original formulation IMO.
I've only ever used Cquartz once (UK edition) and with my first try with it, got flawless results except for one little 1"x1" area on the roof of the Tahoe, which was my fault, where I seen a little bit of a high spot that was not addressed by me with a follow-up final wipe, and somehow either over-applied there, didn't smooth, or possibly slightly smudged that area.
Wasn't worried about it much, because you would've had to been "Wilt The Stilt" to see it, and concluded it was there, it's protecting, just not my best effort in that little smidgen of a spot, and again, not the product's fault.
Brutal for any high SUV, or 4x4 Pickup where you really need a professional Scaffold to work those upper areas. Up and down off a 4' ladder for hours on end to clean, polish, prep, weedle off all the polish residues to come away with a perfect prep before coating was utter torture.
Otherwise, the CQ UK went onto the paint like a sponge absorbing water in my case, perfect, and I wouldn't exactly say I was under ideal conditions when I applied. High-ish humidity had me worried that day, also tired, and thumbing my nose at the rain Gods I recall.
New Mexico weather is very unpredictable, sad I do not have a garage since I've lived here. One of the reasons I cannot see any logic to grab one of those "pretties" like you have in your avatar (Stingray) Had one once, a '67, and it did drive me insane over worry, and OCD.
OCD like. "The Land of Tumbling Tumbleweeds" at times. Wanna get sick, just witness something like a 4' diameter tumbleweed ball, akin to like a ball of barb wire dash and bounce across the road at 35mph, and slam into the side of that gorgeous vette you have. Even my daily junker which is worth less than your monthly Ins payment on the vette still makes me ill to have happen. And I had it happen once coming back from Alb some years ago, a "tumbleweed storm with 100's of thousands of them, some 1/2 the size of a small car. And yep, one got me at 65mph, and it was doing 45mph, bang! It exploded.
Or, spend 2-3 days detailing, and watch the rains, or a dust storm come, and within 5 hours look like you haven't done a thing to the vehicle in 2 months.
