    2 swipes: Run the bottle down the applicator, then back up. Leaves 2 lines
    Lighting: Zack light and 5k Par Flood lights and a Scangrip pen light for verification
    Temp: 73°, low humidity, in a closed garage.

    How big of a section are you working on with that much coating? Also how many criss cross passes are you making?

    I started with just half the decklid, but then I realized that I had 3.5 min, so I bumped up my working area. The M2 is a small car. I did the doors in 2 sections (upper and lower, roof in 2 sections RH and LH, and the rear fender all in one (because half of it is PPF) Bumper I did in 3 sections. The Decklid I split up in 2, the top and the rear.

    I worked the product in horizontal and vertical, 2 times, so four passes total. The removal was very easy. 1st pass was with fresh MF towel with a light buff, maybe 2 passes, then I leveled off with Carpro Suede.

    I did a coat last wed, then a 2nd coat thurs. Car sat in garage since then and last nite I put reload on the PPF areas only (all areas that were not noted above).

    Re: Cquartz U.K. Leaving oily residue

    When I did mine 9 days ago I found that I was able to do 1/4 of the hood at a time and doing the overlap method it worked out perfectly(Audi A7). Environmental factors play a big role and as it wasn't humid at all and maybe 80 degrees in the garage. I would also do 4 passes each time 2 horizontal and 2 vertical, with small amounts of product till I could see the sheen and then the flash.

    Did you coating not get tacky when you were doing 4 passes during application? I could feel it slightly start grabbing the applicator cloth when I was doing it. How much product were you applying to the applicator?

    When it starts to grab the applicator pad is when it's either starting to flash or you don't have enough product on it I think. I would just kind of blot the product on the applicator like how I've seen in videos. Sorry that's not more helpful.

    Re: Cquartz U.K. Leaving oily residue

    As others have stated the problems you are experiencing are from waiting too long to buff off the residue. CQ UK is basically wipe on and immediately wipe off unless it's super cold out. I usually do one panel at a time, or perhaps half a panel at a time depending on temps and humidity. Warm weather, especially if high humidity, you're gonna have a bad time w/ UK. CQ Classic is much more forgiving and preferred for warmer application environments.
