Re: 2007 Solstice CQuartz'd
Wow!
Absolutely amazing!
Besides the incredible before and after results, (looks like wet paint), your pictures and detailed explanation of your process are 5 star.
Doing the detail project is a lot of work, stopping and taking pictures makes the project take longer and then processing the pictures and creating a write-up that showcases your work and helps others is over the top.
Very nicely done.
And as a side note, I'm really liking the CQuartz

Re: 2007 Solstice CQuartz'd
Excellent work Richy!
Curious,I see you followed 105 up with 205 and a white pad on the paint.IME,Pontiac paint is too soft for finishing with a white pad?Must be different hardness between different years.
(Edit:seen you used 3M ultrafina and blue B&S pad to finish)
What did you use to buff off the CQuartz after curing (as to induce no swirls/marring?
Thanks

Mike, thank you very much for the kind words. They mean a lot to me, especially coming from you!! CQ is an amazing product. There is a reason I have that on my personal vehicle. It feels good to be back participating more over here too..I had been away for a while.

The reason I followed up the M205 with a white B & S pad with the 3M Ultrafina and a blue pad is that it seemed to improve the paint somewhat. Not a huge amount mind you, but for such a small car, it really did not add much time to do that step. I really wanted to make the paint jump on it.
I used a soft medium nap mf followed up with a very soft long nap mf for removal. I used very light pressure on both. Even applying it, I would rather use a little too much and have the makeup pad glide smoothly over the surface then try to wring out every microscopic bit and risk rubbing a dried out pad over the paint. Unlike OC, there really is no danger to applying the CQ a bit heavily. You just waste a bit of product, and I don't think a whole lot either. To me, it's worth it.
And Chris, thanks for the compliment!
Thanks
