CQuartz High Spots After One Week

[mrmarkmac]

Did you touch up those areas with coating after you removed those high spots?

No. That’s what I’m looking to do now. Just touch up those areas given the rest of the car just had the coating applied.

I washed the car with reset yesterday and two things I noticed with the locations I hand polished the high spots. Reset soap acted different with more of sheeting than beads of soap. Second was when I dried the car, those locations has more residue.

Planning to tape them off, clay, polish, eraser then Reapply CQ.

You dont have to whip put all that. Just lightly hand polish with Essence if you have it or whatever polish you have used and then reapply the coating over those areas. It will turn out fine.

I polished to remove the high spot. When the car is dry, I can’t see the difference, except the black roof. I figured I should re-polish the black areas to better blend it, as once I put CQ back on, I assume it will look as it does now. On the black, it just doesn’t have the gloss and shine where I hand polished.

I polished off Exo and Csl very easily with m205 and a white pad. I was shocked how easily. That being said I am a HUGE fan of that brand coating. I have applied them to multiple cars and believe its a great coating if cared for properly.

It should act differently as there is no coating in those areas.

You are way over thinking this. Polish, prep wipe and recoat.

I just want to say curse the high spots !!! They are so hard to see.

Applied CQ UK yesterday but found and fixed a few this morning. And then found a few more !!

Any tips on finding them? I have trouble seeing them in the garage .. or in the sun .. it’s when I’m not really looking I manage to see them. Argh!!

depends on the color. However, for me, I always pull them outside and park in shade. They seem to jump out when it's not sunny but not pure blue sky bright.

Man, I’m so discouraged from doing my second car after this experience.

You really need perfect conditions to do this kind of thing at home - my garage lighting is not the best.

Might stick to ‘cancoat’ next time. Was much easier and fault free the last two times I used it.

So read over this thread as I just coated with 3.0. Been two weeks and surprised I could remove polish by hand with essence. Was pretty easy.

I taped areas of with blue tape. Should I remove before coating or after?
