did you get any water mixed in when doing near the trim?

Haven't seen that. Could you have worked the product too long err I mean wipe and rub on it too long after the flash?

did the hood and 2 front fender.. and inspected the paint with brinkman led light and it was pretty nasty looking.

i suspect the paint to be really crappy but ccquartz still performed well.

Likely too much product, didn't buff off the excess, or water came into play via high humidity or seepage. It's as easy to apply as a WOWA sealant for the most part.

You should not do three panels before inspecting. Wipe it on a single area, let it flash to clear (within 2-3 minutes, usually less), then lightly buff off any excess and inspect for clarity before moving to another panel.

However, I doubt I used more than 2cc for 1 hood and 2 front fender tho, so if the conclusion is I used too much, I guess I can do a whole car with less than 10cc.

I just did a jeep cherokee and it took about 7 cc. I think it has to do with the applicator as much as the method. I kept testing to see if I had product by dabbing a window and sure enough, it was leaving stuff behind...
