I have always had great durability from CQuartz UK 3.0. In the past I used it @ 2-layers as well as topped with CQuartz Ti02 which would now be replaced by CQuartz SiC. I had my double application last 4+ years before I polished and redid the application with something new. For history CSL...

A polish should remove CSL from my experience. Again the starting over is my opinion because I am all about doing it "right" to get the best results. You can absolutely just do a light decon and go over it with EXO if you want. I am just reminding everyone that you can't expect full...

From Gtechniq: "If you are applying over CSL, EXOv5 can either be applied straight away starting the process at the same place you did with CSL. For best results wait two hours before applying to let the product flash-off longer." They don't say anything specifically about not being able to...

The answer is always CQuartz UK.

I have been around for quite awhile and one thing that I keep looking for and think possibly is missing in my “Winter Car Care” cleaning selection is a Road Salt Remover / Neutralizer. Being in Ohio and dealing with road salt issues every winter has me looking for an option for something to...

Well the time finally came our old ‘09 VW Jetta finally bit the dust and we decided to go with a newer Jetta GLI. This time against my better judgement and suggestions my wife decided to go with Black. I was able to work a deal and get this ordered in and was sure that they didn’t wash or prep...

Well, I finally had the chance to use CarPro GLISS. I applied it to our ’09 VW Jetta. This car has had both CQ Ti02 as well as CQUK 1.0 that both worked extremely well and lasted better that the durability claims. So I was looking forward to using GLISS. For my testing I chose to prep the...

Just like last year. There is an open house @ ESOTERIC - Fine Auto Finishing just outside of Columbus coming up on Saturday June 2nd (6/2) if anyone is interested. I have attended the past few years. There are usually some cars to see as well as some groups that attend. Obviously since this is...

Now I will admit I have not been uploading and doing as many product reviews as I use to. But for some reason I can`t seem to upload any pictures to my albums. When I click upload it looks like it proceeds but it just resets itself. I have double checked the file type and size to make sure I...

There is an open house @ ESOTERIC - Fine Auto Finishing just outside of Columbus coming up on Saturday June 3rd (6/3) if anyone is interested. I have attended the past 2 years. There are usually some cars to see as well as some groups that attend. Obviously since this is detailing related you...

Short notice.... There is a detailing open house tomorrow at Esoteric - Fine Auto Finishing in New Albany, OH (Columbus) if anyone is around and interested. Some cool cars and products to check out. I went last year and enjoyed it. Planning on going around the latter half of the day...

Re: Spray Nozzles (Continuing the Garden Hose thread) This is the one I have been seriously considering. https://www.eleyhosereels.com/products/professional-spray-nozzle-set

Quick Take: Tac Systems “QuartzMax” Introduction: Being a “long time” (since its release) user of CarPro Reload I have been interested in the other offerings in this category. This along with the reported issues other have had, has lead me to look outside of my normal selection to see...

Just like the title states. How does anyone coat a car with only 10cc or less of product and think that ?!?!?!? Or even the 30ml of CQ or any other coating.... If you do the math there is almost no way for any of these coatings to create any kind of measurable thickness barrier; unless...

As my detailing journey has progressed over the years I have realized that I really enjoy the wash process as that what I do the most. This lets me try and use a multitude of car wash types and soaps. So I feel like I have a good handle on what is a good rinse-less wash for me. UWWP ONR...
