Re: getting ready to coat
what i am looking for in a coating is one that will give me that wet deep look almost like you could stick your finger in the paint , would the cquartz do this or is there a better option , of course would want some longevity out of it but really after the look ?

Re: getting ready to coat
Great project!
Whichever coating you choose to use, here's the short list of things you'll need,
The coating
A panel wipe
Lots of microfiber towels
A GREAT hand held light
Edit - just re-read and saw paint is perfect.

These are great looking Sports Utility Vehicles by the way. Here's one I found to give everyone an idea of what this classic Ford Bronco looks like,

Re: getting ready to coat
so do you think the cquartz one coat followed by the gliss 1 coat will give me the look im after , also would you do 1 coat or 2. so i would do the eraser,cquartz,gliss, followed by a 3-4 day curing period in garage what would be the best topper after this thx

Re: getting ready to coat
Carpro recommends two layers of UK and 1 layer of Gliss.
Wait time between coats of UK is 45 min to 1 hour. Gliss needs a minimum of 4 hours before it can be layered over a Cquartz coating.
Get yourself Elixir to maintain.
You will also need the panel wipe as Mike mentioned to remove the polishing oils.

I would highly encourage you to use CarPro Essence as your final polish. It not only performs amazingly well as described but it will serve as a base-coat for the UK to bond to and makes application super easy. I personally always do two layers of the coating 1hr apart then one layer of Gliss. Hope that helps.
