I'm taking my car next week to have Xpel ultimate installed on the front end of my car. I'm in the middle of a paint correction right now, and I am planning on coating it with CQUK once the correction is finished.
Here's my dilemma:
It's cold and rainy here now (40-55F), and although I'm working in my garage, I would rather wait until it's a bit warmer to apply the CQUK. I know the UK is designed for lower temps, but still.
The Xpel installer is an hour away on the freeway, and I don't want to drive my car all the way there with freshly corrected paint and no wax/sealant. I also cannot be sure that it'll be dry on the day I take the car in, so I'm worried about the 7 day no water rule.
If I apply a regular spray wax or sealant to protect the paint until it gets warmer, will I have to re-polish the car before applying CQUK later? Or will a claybar and eraser be enough?
Right now I have a few options in my cabinet:
BMW express wax (spray, I got it at the Welt to protect the car during my ED trip)
Blackfire WDPP
Carpro Reload
I'd guess the spray wax would be the most temporary, therefore the best option for what I want.
Any thoughts?
