I did my first CQuartz UK application today, on my wife's car, and I think it went well.

2014 Honda Accord (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/97807-2014-honda-accord.html)

Few questions though. How do I know if it came out good?
The UK was super easy for me to work with. Easy on on, easy off. Did it just like Corey's video on youtube. Seems like it was almost too easy.

How can I test that I did it correctly?

Can some of you tell me how you apply it?

I applied Eraser and then has some lunch to let it "gas-out". Was that the proper step? Does it need to "gas-out"?

AS for the Reload, I didn't over do it. Spritz and wipe, spritz and wipe. Will this cover up an improper application so it will be difficult for me to tell if I did it correctly?

Thank you in advance Mike and anyone else that can help!!
Happy New Year.

First off you have excellent result! No water for 24 hours. If you have no high spots you have right, pics looks great.

Easer can be wiped on wiped off dry and apply coating.

Reload I suggest spritz on towel, apply spreading the entire panel. Wipe with another clean dry towel. If you apply reload over the entire car. Then you can expose to water.
If you will take a swirl light or good led flashlight and check every panel one at a time to make sure all the car surface has been coated.

Hope this helps, you should be proud of your excellent work!

I put it on pretty thick, almost the whole 30ml bottle, wiped it down pretty good, too. I didn't notice any high spots when I went around with reload but it is white and my first time. It's sitting T the shop with the heat now so I will look it over tomorrow morning.

I'm pretty sure I covered everything because I did the recommended criss cross patter twice on each panel and you can tell where you miss pretty easily when applying.

Thanks for your input. I can't wait until tomorrow night to see how it reacts to some water!

You will be very happy!

Try not to put fingers and hands on the paint. Coat it down with Reload and enjoy
