How much CQuartz or Opti Coat do I need?

[Old Tiger]

To do my Expedition? I had 15 ml of OptiCoat on my sons Yarus . Some was lost or wasted by the syringe! I am not a fan of that delivery system but dont know a better Tway to keep the air out of it! I figure I need at least two bottles or syringes. Thoughts?
TIA!

Jim, I would use the bigger bottle of CQ for that big beast. If you want to try OC on it, shoot some into a misting spray bottle and mist onto the applicator. I have yet to try that method myself, but it sure looks promising. I think Chris said he got the spray bottles at Walmart for like $2.

Good idea Richy; I have a few small mister bottles like that I picked up from a beauty shop supplier for $1.29 a piece, those might be good to try.

Look at my application methods in the video. The spray bottle is $0.50 from walmart in the travel sized toiletries section. 12-15 cc is a generous amount for an Expedition/Navigator. If you use more than that, you over applied it. The yaris should have been 6-8 cc max.

That is a great idea Rich! I wonder if I could do that with CQ also.

The cost would be negligible compared to the product saved!

I figured we over applied but he was right behind me with an Indigo and wiped the high spots. It looks great!! Very nice look and he is moving to NY State so the protection will be put to the test! Thanks Chris!

If you gonna get Cquartz, then it really depends on wheather you will be doing trim/wheels/glass? If so, you might need 50ml bottle...If it's just painwork and trim, 30ml should be sufficient...

I'm glad to hear it! Keep us updated, ok?

I've coated my fiances Ford Fusion and all but the roof and front bumper area of my F150, plus an occasional test panel here and there which were polished off and re coated. The product is on the paint for sure, the sheeting says so and this is all I've used,

Thinking about coating my driveway or something ridiculous like that since I bought 2 syringes.

OG/OC in a cosmetic spray bottle as mentioned above is my preferred application method...

Get a foam applicator
Put foam applicator in plastic bag
Wrap plastic bag (with foam app inside) with blue shop towel (or suede cloth is worried about soft paint)
Squirt OC/OG into spray bottle
Mist wrapped bag with OG/OC
Apply

If remaining product is in sprayer I squirt it into a small medicine cup and then suck it back into the syringe. I then expel as much air as I can from the syringe for storage

I would consider coating the kitchen sink or something to make household maintenance easier. There was a thread on other things to use OC for.

When I apply OC 2.0, I always save the applicator and use it on something in the house. Kitchen and bathroom faucets are now gleeming and easy to clean. I also used it on my auto paint finish laptop and spa bath.
