Hi Guys.
I was contacted by this customer for a CQuartz Finest coating for his car. Went to view it and as it was full of swirls a 2 day detail was booked.
On the day as you can see the swirls were pretty bad, so out with the Rupes and wool.
Being German paint I broke out the Scholl S2 and Scholl wool pads for the initial compound on the 21mm BigFoot. People say you shoud not use wool on a bigfoot but as I don't like microfibre pads I went with a combo that may be wrong but works for me.
The cut was followed with the Rupes Green pad with S17 then refined with the Rupes 15mm machine with the white pad with Megs 205, one of my favorite finishing polishes.
Two wipe downs with Eraser then two good thick coats of CQuartz finest applied, I also applied it to the wheels, glass, inside doors, inside trunk and hood, well everywhere really.
After the coating I wheeled the car outside to cure for a hour or so as the panel temperatures were over 40c in the sun.
On with the pics.

After compounding and polishing, then ages spend cleaning the badges.
