C Quartz will ruin your mf towels if not dealt with before it dries in them. The other thing to consider is that your using one coating that seems to have them most unfavorable reviews posted on this from over the years for leaving high spots and being finicky to work with.

Just do some searching and you'll see what I mean. If you use his product on his vehicle and get unfavorable results will you have to pay for the coating? What if that happens and you have to totally strip it off and re-coat it? Just some food for thought, if you don't know what high spots are you may want to rethink getting involved with CQ. This would be a product that ideally you were working with someone with experience with it for your first time so that they could walk you through it. Jut my humble opinion, but the consequences of a bad application in this situation out weigh the positives. Either way, I wish you good luck. Hope it works out for you..

I could recommend that he gets HD adapt. Or HD speed?

So Cquartz would not be a good choice for starting? What coating would you recommend?

See this post from Mike Phillips.

High spots refer to areas of coating that have been applied to heavily and have flashed and hardened. In many cases you'll need to polish and reapply the coating.

HD Adapt, Speed has a sealant in it.

If I were you I'd send him to autopia and get some Polish Angel Cosmic, it's so easy to use. It's a two step process and it applies like a sealant. I did my GC two weeks ago in 95+ heat and sickening humidity down here in Tampa. It was a breeze, no issues. It's as simple as it gets.

Here's a review I did on their Viking Coat, on my Nissan Rogue:

Their products are so easy to use it's hard to screw it up. They are my personal go to for coatings. I don't like products that have a learning curve or take extra attention. KISS is my favorite way to go.

Why not Gloss coat? It is supposed to be one of the easiest coatings to use.

It worked out great for me. Two black cars and a metallic silver this year. One more silver to go.

We are in Canada so no Autopia for us. Even if we are neighbors, we have a very hard time getting 95% of the stuff you guys are using. Just tried to find Wolfgang coating. Not luck yet.

That's a bummer. Viking Coat would be just what the doctor ordered for your climate too.

autopia ships to Canada:

These other links take you right to the product page at autopia.

50ml of Viking Coat could easily do 4-5 cars if applied properly via machine. I show that with my Rogue and my Rupes Mini on a blue pad. I didn't even dent my bottle.

The Esclate Lotion is for cleaning the paint. I'm not going to say either way whether it's crucial to VC working, I just figured for the price I'd do the 1-2 process.

Also I live in Canada so should he get the Cquartz UK?

No, the regular version of CQuartz was changed in the last year and is equal to UK in durability, but is easier to apply and use IMO. I don't like UK.
