CQUK Fail! How do I remove it?
I tried something I knew I shouldn't have, applying Cquartz! My luck with stuff like this just isn't that good and I knew better. Well now I have a sap looking splotchy substance all over my roof and quarter panels and I need to get it off.
I am just wondering how aggressive I need to go to get it off?
I want to go as least aggressive as I need to. This paint is so soft even my good Cobra Super plush purple MF's were scratching the paint as I tried to remove polish. I tried many different towels and the only one I had that didn't scratch very bad was the Cobra green ones.
I polished with a Hydrotech tangerine pad and Megs UP and it left micro marring all over so I went back over with a crimson pad and UP and got rid of most of it.
I am so frustrated right now! I just want to get the CQUK off as gently as I can and throw a couple of coats of Fuzion on it and never look at it again within 50 feet!
Oh yea, it's a 2014 Scion FR-S, Raven Black.

Re: CQUK Fail! How do I remove it?
Could the "sap-like splotchy" substance be the CQUK itself not being removed completely? I know I had that problem when I applied CQ to my car and it was a PITA to remove. It was super sticky when I was trying to remove it and I started to search if anyone else had this problem and some people have. Fortunately I was able to remove all of it and I confirmed with Corey that CQ is in fact on the paint and I proved it by trying to sheet water off the car.

Yes the substance is the CQUK. Same problem, it wouldn't buff off. Some places did buff off and they look great but other places wouldn't come off.
How do I contact Corey? I looked at the Carpro website and there isn't a USA phone number.

Thanks guys! I guess I was looking at the wrong website.
Chris, the problem I had was wiping it off. Some places it came off just fine but others it just stuck. My MF stuck to it and like smeared it. It just wouldn't buff off.

Re: CQUK Fail! How do I remove it?
once you get the car corrected again, try opti-coat. it's foolproof. SO easy to use. forget about the fuzion. all the work required to get it back to perfection, you want something long lasting on top.

You are either using to much product or you are not working it in long enough to the point of almost flashing occurs. The areas that are like smearing as you describe are to thick with product. I use the big suede microfiber to buff of the coating.
