    Permanent removal of Cquartz UK

    As the title states, I'm needing information to remove my coating. I applied it to my own car as the guinea pig and while I love it, I left a bunch of high spots and only did 1 coat. After doing several more cars and having a much better feel, I would like to redo mine. What is the least aggressive method that can remove the cquartz?

    Wash, clay and a polish will do the trick. If not just clay (Pinnacle Fine Poly Clay shouldn't cause any marring)

    Lightly polish with Essence. Acts like a primer for CQuartz.

    Polishing with essence will remove??? So would would sf4000 also work. I have plenty of options, just curious if someone has already done a removal and what they used.

    A few passes with a finishing polish by machine will remove it. You only need to take off like 1 micron of material.
