I hate wasting products. And that is exactly what you do if there is anything left on your applicator at the end of a job.

What is the very best applicator to use with Cquartz?
I have read a lot of the threads about Cquartz but there is no consensus on applicators.

Maybe Avi and Mike can give their options.

What I have had the best luck with are some small, four by four inch glass cleaning microfibers. They are the tightest weave I have ever seen and do not have any "nap" at all. They don't seem to absorb any product and so far have been the perfect delivery system. But I want to get the experts opinions.
 
The best applicator for Cquartz is the 4" mf suede cloths wrapped around the CQ foam applicator block.
 
I Recently applied CQ on my CrV and only used maybe half the 30ML bottle?? maybe less..... i used the Suede Cloths Warpped around the foam applicator block
 
i watched videos of people using cotton pads if i am not worng?
i watched the entire review on cquartz Vs Opto coat and i saw them use cotton pads that look js like the one my girlfriend uses to remover her make up.

i have never used any of the above but i look forward on using Cquartz and Reload soon.

As mentioned above^^
these sedes dont absorb much as you said yourself, if you not feeling comfortable with the applicator, you can use only the 10cm square suede , with your fingers applying, same as used with cotton pad.
the applicator gives you very even coat with the pressure you use with your hand.
good luck.
 
:iagree:

What CeeDog & Avi said. The CQ mf suede wrapped around the applicator block is very easy to use, provide a nice even coat and don't seem to absorb much product. I think Avi created a very simple to use system. I had no probs and am quite please with the result. Mrs HM is thrilled, which is even more important. Im the MANIm the MANIm the MAN

I couldn't find the CQ foam applicator block folks are talking about. :dunno: I'm sure someone will chime in to help.

There are numerous foam applicator pads available at AG and a search turns those up for you.

LoL that was CEE DOG's review, and he's gone back and stated that the better applicator was the block with MF Suede you get with the kit.

Nice catch Sean!

Yes indeed, the ones I actually used I believe were the makeup applicators that are some kind of soft sponge. In that original review I used them for both OC and CQ and learned a lot (Mainly that I was not applying the product in the best or easiest way) The OC at the time had a lot of application information lacking while the CQ had the info available and I ignored it and used the methods others had mentioned to me.

Definitely the mf suede pads and block from CQ are great for it's application.
 
I see that the pad comes only with the kits, but I would think you could use any soft pad and cover it with the suede microfiber.
 
You could use anything to support the MF Suede to work in CQuartz.
 
One of the things I've learned over the years is to try to stay on message when representing a company's products. It's the right thing to do and a professional courtesy.

Anytime I go outside of the manufactures recommendations I always include a disclaimer that the process and/or application method is not the recommended procedure and for each person to use their own judgment as to how to proceed.

Tomorrow night we'll be applying the CQuartz to this Porsche and at this time I am planning on using and demonstrating the suede cloth wrapped around the foam block.

Were going to use the CarPro Ceramic Paint Protection Kit Nick just announced here if you want to duplicate this process to your car..

CarPro Kits Now Available!

We'll be posting pictures of this project on the fly to my Facebook page and then on Friday I'll try to post pictures taken using my Canon Rebel. Yancy is going to try to come down towards the end of the night and take some pictures using his Nikon and he's a great photographer.

Oh yeah...

There is one, maybe two other pads I might try to apply it...
