    ckquartz uk 3.0 suede?

    I have everything to try and do my first ceramic coating on my daily this weekend or so I thought. Car is a 2017 outback. Will the patches that came with the 50 mL kit be enough to do 2 coats on the car? Or do I need to order more and hold off till they come in. Shipping sucks latley so cant find how to get some extras here before the weekend.

    The kit comes with 4 suede applicators. You can also use a micro fiber applicator.

    I just did a 2017 Outback this weekend. I just looked at the used 4 x 4s. I used 3 for the first coat and 2 for the second. Maybe 2 for Gliss.
    So yeah, you can make it work.

    If you have enough low piles to level and smooth, you could cut the the 16 x 16 for more applicators.
    If you use the 16 x 16 to level keep an eye on where it goes as it will load up and push the coating to adjoining areas if not super careful. Actually 1, 16 x 16 microsuede isn't enough for 2 coats (leveling), at least in my book.

    Do you have plenty of micro fiber towels?

    I have boxes of them. Im good on the towel part. Just wanted to make sure the suede in the box was enough. Read lerking on some other forums and just wanted to make sure It would be enough

    I believe there is a 16 x 16 or 8 x 8 suede towel included in the box besides the 4 applicators. Don’t use it for leveling. Instead save it and cut it to make multiple suede 4x4 applicators.

    You'll be fine. I typically use two applicators per layer for a sedan like that. Flip and rotate them then once half way done, put on a new one.

    That is what I would do too. I was able to do one coat on a Toyota Highlander with just the provided applicators (I think I used three), but if I'd run out the towel would have been next. It's not really good for anything else.

    I've held on to the left over towels from each time I've done a CQuartz application. I've now got enough applicators for several more coating applications.
