This is a good point.[emoji1369]
Just yesterday, I prepped my windows for tint by polishing both sides by hand using McKee’s Glass Restoring Polish. I thought it looked good + I figured the guys at the tint shop would be doing their own minimum amount of prep anyways...
[I went to the tint shop but they were too busy and I couldn’t wait]
Later in the day I noticed a bunch of hazy polish residue that I didn’t see earlier. So this morning I did exactly what he recommended. I cleaned 1 window with Blackfire Paint Prep and the other with Megs Glass Cleaner. They both got rid of the polish residue, but that got me thinking about paint after polishing/pre lsp.[emoji848]

Is this an error? Or did you mean to say that?

Ya. I always clean the glass twice with glass cleaner after using McKee's 37 Glass Restorer polish. Also, never put that stuff on a machine! I decided to do it to speed up the process once... I have never seen so much dusting in my life! The entire car looked like it had snowed on it and that was just from the windshield. Never again!

Just looked at Cquarz... they now claim only 6 months durability... wow... down from 2 years to 6 months... I don't know what to say. Just happy I never used their product.

Possible. Their website keeps giving me errors when I try to look up stuff, error 500 everytime I click on something.
Is Lite a 6 months coating?
