Last Min Coating Prep Question
hey everyone-
This friday I will be coating my 2013 Ram Crew w/ Cquartz UK. It i is well maintained w. minimal swirls and a few scratches here and there from daily commuting.
I know doing something this big is alot, so I did a full decon on the wheels the other day as well as yesterday I polished(w/either Carpro Reflect or WG UB or WG TSR where the winter weather did scratch it up) the rear passenger side door, passenger side of the bed, and the tailgate, to get a jump on it. There is alot of pollen where I live and it ever rained yesterday so I have pollen stuck to the paint from the rain. So come Friday, since it will not need another Polish?, can I/should I:
Standard wash w/ D111 mixed w/ Dawn?
Reclay? w/ ONR as lube
Use WG Polish Enhancer? to clean up paint from daily grime, pollen etc?
Then Eraser?
then coating?
Just seeing if my steps or actions should change since I "pre-polished"
thanks in advance guys (pics are from yesterday after polishing pre rain etc etc)

Just use Eraser and you will be fine! Of course wash first. Do not use ONR.

Re: Last Min Coating Prep Question
If after washing, the paint looks dirty, is there any harm in re-claying?
Or if it also still looks dirty (say water spots), can i use WG PPE, and if it has fillers will the eraser get rid of them?
Why no ONR?
What about D156, is that ok then as clay lube?

The surface needs to be as virgin and clean as possible for the coating to bond properly. You can clay but you run the risk of marring and having to re polish. That and the fact that most clay lubes leave behind some form of light protection on the paint. The absolute best way is to polish, wipe down with IPA or eraser, and then go straight to coating.
