Terrible experience with Quartz UK

Gloss coat is super easy. I can vouch for that first hand. But it comes with a higher price tag, too.

Stop where you are, let whatever CQUK is currently on the vehicle cure enough to remove, polish it off, and try again with the remaining CQUK, or another product altogether.

You can polish it off anytime,just use more than one pad and you will be fine,take a look at Kamikaze if you want easy and foolproof

Probably not a higher price tag, if you figure in that he now has to polish the garbage off, purchase new product and re-apply.

I have a bottle of ISM and Miyabi just waiting, I am hoping to use it this weekend!

I'm just surprised because though I've heard it's "finnicky," I've never really seemed to get that a vibe that it was a very big deal. I'll try again in the Fall, but I'm not very hopeful it will flash perfectly.

In other news, I got a sample bottle of liquid soveran spray wax with my last order and just used it tonight. Wow. I'm impressed. The stuff flashes like nothing even it the heat and humidity. Stupid easy to use and the smell is incredible.

Sounds like a combination of factors. Personally I wouldn't apply a coating to anything but spotless, just-corrected paint that has been completely stripped of any polishing oils by using the prep product recommended by the coating supplier -- in this case, Eraser. I'd also go over the car with the stripper at least a couple of times.

Using instant detailers and rinseless wash products between correction and coating is asking for trouble.

Also, as Avi and others have pointed out, UK was created specifically for application at cooler ambient temperatures. Some time around early April I switched to Classic and locked the rest of my UK in the
basement until the end of October.

This^^^

If the paint wasn't just as in "just" polished before the application of any coating you'll likely have some trace amounts of dirt that has absorbed into the matrix of the paint. Whether you see it or feel it you're applying a coating to a paint system that's not absolutely clean.

Try again right after a full polish of the car.

Of course this is just my theory.
