I think I applied Elixer once but otherwise very little maintenance. Based in performance so far I should be good for at least a year. Other vehicles with same coatings are now well past a year and...

Still solid coating here. Washes and cleans up like it did day 1.

I don’t know it’s paint overspray, but it’s overspray from something. I have kept the car perfect, then leave it at the dealer for a week, and washed it when I got home to find this. The dealer...

Did a car last week in 45f-50f ambient temp, and the CQUK3.0 took forever to flash. I kept thinking I need to remove it, but literally after 15 min it was still smearing. Ended up being around 20...

The Mustang has been in the garage pretty much since Ford coated it with Overspray and after I spent two weekends claying. Today I had it out and washed it, then did an elixer wipe down.

I did...

it took most of the dust off well. However there are still lots of stuck on parts of polish dust. I didn’t want to rub them with Ech2o. Maybe I just need to use IPA mix or Eraser on those.

I have Ech2O that I can use as a rinsless or waterless wash. I was just thinking of even spraying it down with water to get the dust off. Given I’m going over it again with essence, it would clean...

Given the truck is covered in dust now, what is the normal course of action for the second stage paint correction? Planning to do Essence Extreme next, then CQUK. I’ve always finished previous cars...

that was what I was assuming, but when I moved on to better panels it was still dusty. Started using Guz suggestion if two easy passes then 2 with pressure. Still not zero dust but a lot less.

With a recent order here, I received a free bottle of pad conditioner. I tried using it today on the pad before priming it. Maybe that’s causing it to dust?

I’m priming the pad, and then using 3 or 4 pea size drops per 2x2 section.

I’m doing 2-3 passes with little to no pressure, the. 2-3 with increasing pressure until clear.

I’m trying Carpro clearcut for the first time. Trying to bring back to life a 2005 Xterra that has some oxidation on horizontal surfaces and just lots of swirls on vertical panels. The oxidized...

ha, ha. Yeah, that easy.

No, just shopping for a new car and basically couldn’t find anything close to the quality and options anywhere near that price.

^^ this. 100%. Test drive costs nothing, and worth the 15 min. I didn’t even know what a cx-5 was. I just stopped at the next dealer after Lexus, infinity, Acura, Audi. Now I have one in my...

I can sympathize with you. I posted a couple weeks ago about my trip to a dealer in Houston also. They listened and didn’t wash my car, but instead gave me a complementary fresh coat of overspray,...

exactly. Brand new on the lot, and the only swirl or light marks I could find were the B biller black plastic. I’m sure it was from washing in the dealer bays with dirty towels. I was shocked how...

the b pillars are also the piano black finish. I’m assuming they’re plastic and the type that will scratch super easy.

I’ve always topped CQUK with GLISS so these small areas wouldn’t be any different I assume.

For piano black interior trim, and exterior B pillars, would one be better than another, when having left over CQUK3.0, GLISS, DLUX and Leather available?

Follow up on this. This weekend I prepped and did 2x CQUK to my wife’s new car. It’s brand new so did the wash, ironx, and clay before essence xtreme. Before I polished, the paint felt really...

Just wanted to follow up in case anyone needs advise in the future after a dealer cots your car for free with overspray.

Spent nearly my entire Sunday finishing off the removal. Overall the paint...

Spent a few hours today with clay and lube. Some areas needed two passes to get it all, but so far, so good on the paint. The glass is still a mess. Even after clay it’s excessively rough when...

thanks. I may rail on the dealer to fix the glass, now that I can deal with the paint I hope. If they scratch the glass they can replace it.

for the trim, I have not tried yet, but it was all...

Bingo! I was focus on trying to fix the glass first before trying the paint. Today I gave the clay bar a shot on the paint. Where the clay maybe removed 5% of the overspray off the glass, it...
