    Test spot, a good estimate is speed 5, 6-8 section passes. Do you have everything to prep the surface and ensure it's bare before applying CQuartz?

    I use 4 pea size drops to the pad, I start on speed 2 to spread the polish over a 2x2 area then kick it up to speed 5 and make 4 passes keeping my arm speed slow and moderate pressure.
    Very easy to wipe off, I love 205.

    Make sure you're happy with the test spot before moving on, you don't want to have to do the entire car again later if not satisfied with the results.

    What are you using to remove M205 oils to leave bare paint for your coating?

    Thanks for that

    so after I polish the car should I wash the car again or use a MF to buff it off?
