Phil, thank you for such a well explained AND demonstrated "process" of what it takes to install Carpro CQuartz UK 3.0 - I am off to the shop to install on my wife's new car. That black 5.0 Mustang looked incredible at the end! 😎
Thanks!
What a show. Great advice, tips and commentary.
What an awesome detail Phil ,knocked this one out the park. Definitely love Cquartz and gliss ,one awesome combo and the Gyeon rim coat is great to. Thanks for giving all of us an in depth review from start to finish of some really great products and steps to use. “Pajama detailing rocks”
Brilliant video Phil, enjoyable and learnt lots. Thanks for your time and I appreciate your constant efforts
This was just beautiful...and informative. I love you guys’ channel!
That car came out gorgeous, really nice job Phil 👍😁❤️
When I joined, there were like 4K subs. Just noticed 14K plus subs. Love seeing good people finding success like that.
Thank you so much sir!!!!
@@MirandaDetailing I did 2 coats of UK 3.0 and 2 coats of Carpro Gliss on my white BMW f30 yesterday
Cool.
That mustang came out amazing!
solid technic & products!!! 5 ☆
Awesome job Phil.. great video! Some really great tips here on polishing and coating👍🏻👍🏻 oh and nothing wrong with Pj's! Lol I do that too haha. That poor paint, 2020 and the dealer tries to fix scratches and makes it worse🤦♂️🤦♂️ that thing turned out looking fantastic!👍🏻
You should be very proud of the work you have just done. that car is amazing..
Great job Phil , car look great. I also have a bottle of UK and Gliss for my black grand Cherokee can’t wait to use it. But I need a few days to wash decontaminate compound and apply the coatings... ok not a few days maybe a week !
Excited to have my done! Looks amazing
One of the better videos you have done. Great job, great finish
I watched this whole video. Amazing work man. I can only imagine the time consumption of the exterior but hey thats what we get paid for. Learned some new stuff watching you, especially the different techniques and product use in certain places.
Thanks so much!
Great video and well explained, thank you, look forward to using some of the same products
I’m a gyeon and carpro guy
Last night I was mentally preparing for Saturday's coating job when I decided to rewatch your techniques from start to finish. Now after watching it, I found out I HAVE to incorporate this video into my prep routine because I simply don't' have enough experience to be at your level of proficiency. BTW that was one long day you put in. Also, I notice that every time I watch it, I see something I missed, that explains a "how or why" to do a better job. Such as when I finally put the pieces of the puzzle together on why you used CarPro Essence. Your explanation on why you use Essence was like finding a gold nugget because it protects the paint by completing two steps in one application, whereas if I had to do another wipe down I could potentially cause scratches or marring. That comment has changed my process and product choices from this point on. It just reaffirms why you stick with one complete and integrated product line because of how they designed everything to work together in order to produce a superior result, which CarPro did when they designed a product line specifically to support their coating. CarPro is now my first choice. I am looking forward to when they announce a graphene coating, sooner hopefully rather than later. Thanks again for this terrific tutorial. I adopted your apron methodology using the two pockets for towel #1 and towel #2, very effective. As you often say, make it fit your routine and I did. I put a yellow MF in pocket #1 on my left side and a light green MF in my right pocket for towel #2 to protect myself. In addition, you reinforced to me how you apply the 3.0 UK with the applicator and then meticulously use towel one to spread out the material and pick up residue and then use towel #2 to continue spreading out the product and wiping off the residue until it flashes away to prevent high spots, and all the time using the light to follow your towel to confirm there are no high spots. Brilliant work.
Thanks so much man!! That really means a lot. I try to pack in a lot of info in these videos. It seems that some don’t watch the entire video all the way through so they miss a lot things we do and explain. 👍🏼👍🏼
I have been a sales manager at a car dealership for 20 years and detail cars (as a side biz) and I am definitely someone who does not like wasting product but I have had my share of new cars that are in very bad shape. Like in the video, go thru the motions. New cars that sit on lots for a long time build up environmental fall out and iron especially ones parked near roads/highways. Great tips on preserving clearcoat as these new cars have very thin layers. Most Fords I have taken a meter to come in around 3-3.5mls.
Looks Beautiful Phil....Nice work!
Phil your a life saver, this was the video I was looking for thanks for the in depth detail
You’re welcome!
Great video. The results were great. Hard to beat that cquartz combo.
I tell all of my clients who are getting their vehicle detailed for private sale or trade-in to tell the dealership do not wash their brand new car, not to accept the dealership's "paint protection package".
I had a referral who brought me his 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 80 miles on the odometer that was heavily hologrammed by the dealership "new car prep" detailer.
Nice work on the Mustang!
The new car prep guys wouldn't do that to a new car. If a new Jeep needed that much work, they would hand it over to the body shop so the dealership could charge Fiat more money.
Watched till the end. Loved the video! Car looked amazing!
Thanks sir!
I have a 2015 Mustang GT I am going to coat with CQuartz in a few weeks. Good time for this vid to pop up
Love these videos keep em up
Man that scratch..... your a magician lol
Who would have thought a dealership would mess a car up like that ?? Great video ... I use to do paint inspection for Chrysler many moons ago and you would not believe some of the stuff you could see ... die marks ... dirt in the paints ... sanding marks ... we caught most of it but it is impossible to get everything ... one man per side with more lighting then you could imagine ... but in those days we pushed out a car every 45 or so seconds ... I would see brand new Vets at the dealership with marks or dirt in the paint ... so believe me Phil if you or I went around a new car no matter the model your going to find something ... So all I can say to new car buyers ... beware your going to find something if you look ... but don’t think the dealership knows everything ... they want to push those cars out the door too!
Exactly!! Dealers sell cars, but they have no idea how to care for them. 😩. Well it keeps us busy!
great video and tutorial Phil.came out amazing.hope you and your family are doing well and stayn safe. stay hydrated my friend humid back on east coast with a vengeance...b well
Thanks!
mate killer job and a great video as always
Man, money well spent on this one, no spot left untouched. Amazing.
Thanks!!
A salud from a Danish guy in Spain 😉Brilliant Phil - Thanks a lot
Amazing work Phil. You guys do a great job. It's crazy to me how something brand new always seems to have issues. And not just this but a majority of new vehicles. I just got a 2020 Kia telluride and I love it. It's pearl white but my b pillars are piano black and it drives me crazy seeing the swirls on them.
Thanks man!!! Those Telluride are awesome looking!
@@MirandaDetailing no problem! And ya it caught my eye. I never thought I would own a Kia but I'm glad I got it
Correct them and ppf ur b pillars
Yeah that would be the best to PPF pillars. They scratch so easily
@@Dannypalarchio ya I was either going to do that or have them wrapped when I do the rest of the chrome
Phil, excellent video, unfortunately I use TW Hybrid Solution products, because it's cost effective. I found you over a year ago & I really like your videos! I am a driveway detailer, started almost 45 years ago & have learned so much from you, Brian from Apex, Pan the Organizer and Scott from Dallas Paint, just to mention a few. Thank you very much for the GREAT information! Keep up the Excellent Work!
Hi. No shame in that! I love the TW hybrid line. Use what works for you! That’s why I enjoy using using different products. I like to show all the different products and techniques that can be used to achieve great results.
Nice job and it looks great. I would have liked to have seen an outside picture of the whole car looking fresh.
Really love the video. Fantastic job Phil 👌👌
The only thing I missed was the after shoot of the car outside in the sun so we could se the result 😔☀️
I crap!! I actually had some shots of that. I may need to edit them in a later video! 🤦🏻♂️
great video keep em coming
Beautiful car bro. I like!!
9:31, 10:25 - Before I got into detailing for my own personal cars, I hired a “professional detailer” to wash, light polish, and wax my new car. They left marks similar to these, as well as deeper pigtails using their DA polisher. You would think they would be careful and know how to properly polish a new car. End of day, learned about detailing myself, got some decent DA polishers, paint corrected damage they did, and even ceramic coated car with UK3.0.
Also loved you rocking the old school PC 7424XP with the 3-4 inch pad 23:02. That was my first DA polisher I learned on. 👍🏼
Sounds like they need to reconsider their career path haha! As a detailer myself it grinds my gears when these car wash guys try to include services they "do", but have no credentials to back it up. Even this simple task and just bombing it, makes the real professional's look bad.
I've experienced poor workmanship from a former fellow employee.
I'll just say that you're not suppose to stand on customer's vehicles.. Or purposely destroy equipment.... Or steal product..
I still love my old school 7424 polisher too. I've had my first 7424xp since 2011 (before that is was just the rotary). I picked up a pre-XP version and liked it better!
@@danlc95 - Yeah I upgraded my PC 7424XP since I realized I didn’t have the power I needed to get out some deeper scratches easily (without having to do 100 passes at the same spot). Got a Rupes LHR15, Rupes Nano, and a Flex3401 (when I really need the power). All are awesome and serves a specific purpose for polishing. The Griot’s BOSS G15/G21 is awesome too and much cheaper than the Rupes.
Your videos always bring the stress down of paint correction.
Thanks!!
Awesome video brother!!
The condition of this Mustang was crazy! I had a brand new ‘21, black, and the paint was flawless. The dealer either did a great job or something was done at the factory. Full disclosure: dealer related employee here but I don’t know the details of car prep. But we have a Bronco, Explorer, Ranger and in the past an Escape and all those had just average, maybe disappointing paint. The Mustang was a great surprise. Whatever dealer this one in the video came from need to stop whatever they’re doing!
I'll definitely be using small microfiber applicators! Those blocks they supply look so cheesy. I think deep down thats one of the reasons why i went with a sealant this year lol
great video, you did a great job
Thanks!
Great vid! I dabble on the side doing detailing. Mostly family, so no pay ugh! I just bought a 2020 Ram 1500 cloth seats. What is the best protectant u use for cloth or suggest I use? I don't know if u have worked on the black color of a Ram but the metal flake is gorgeous when clean. Keep up the vids and best of luck to u and ur business.
Hi. Thanks!!! I have used a number of fabric protectants and Carpro Fabric and Gtechniq smart fabric are awesome. Gyeon fabric protectant is also really good.
Hi Phil. What a great job on the mustang! Big job! I’ve been looking for those foam hexagon applicator swabs you used for the grill. Can you share where to locate these? Thank you!
Hi. Yeah those sell out fast. here is a link amzn.to/3Dg6kvv
Hey phil, great vid..I'm going to try my 1st coat coating here soon.. I might go carpro lite (1st timer etc) I like your tip about ditching the square block with the suede applicator.Seems like it would shift while using it...
Thanks!
Carpro lite is delivered with two microfiber applicators.
Missy is a nice cat😊
3:15 Retro Wave electronic music RULES!!!
Looking good nice job
Thanks!
Paaaaaan the organizer!
Great video. My new truck is showing up on Wednesday and I'm trying ceramic for the first time. Got the cquartz ready to go. Also, turns out I live less than a mile from you!
Thanks! Tackle it man!! Woah! Really? That’s awesome!
@@MirandaDetailing yeah, googled you and the map didn't make sense at first. Anyway, your videos are terrific and you really seem to know what you are doing and care about the details.
Weird. I wonder what happened on google maps?
Phil, loving this channel, just found it.
What brand would you reccomend a mobile detailer start with. Trying to pick and choose from different products from different companies is a headache!
Hi. I would go with Meguiars detailer Line or 3D products. They are affordable and work great
What product did you use to wash the car? I have a new vehicle and the only thing I’ve applied thus far is Chemical Guys HydroSuds to wash, followed by HydroSpeed and Blazin’ Banana Spray Carnauba Gloss - both by CG. So just curious if I need to use a product like CleanSlate or Reset to remove wax before decontaminating/clay bar, or if I can just use my standard wash soap (Meguiar’s Gold Class).
Hi. I believe we used Megs Hyper Wash on this one. i don't really rely on strong soaps to strip waxes and sealants. I find they don't really work that well. the only way to ensure the paint is stripped is to give it a quick polish. any light polish will do and a medium foam pad.
Excellent video Phil! I’m new to this and would like to use CarPro Essence as a one step (light wash marring) and top it with a ceramic spray sealant. Can I use the quicker arm speed and less time polishing overall (like you have demonstrated for other one step paint enhancements on other great videos ) with essence also?
Thx!!
Yes, absolutely...Do a test spot and see how the paint the responds.
Nice ride...
Excellent!! Do you know if I Can use CarPro essence before a Gyeon Pure Evo coating?
You can I believe but wait that 24h wait time.
Or just use Dr Beasleys NSP polishes
czcams.com/video/SQAGqhqVFmI/video.html
Loved it
UK 3.0 flashes pretty much immediately as well. Great video. What pad and polish did you use for your polishing step?
Thanks. I used mostly the orange lake country pad and CarPro Essence
Awesome, quick question can we apply the same ceramic coat on plastic trims, glass too?
Hi. Some coatings you can, usually for trim that is not faded a regular coating or a fine. I like to use dedicated glass coatings because they don’t smear as much on glass as a paint coating does.
great job as always.
can clay bar remove hard water spots on black paint
Hi thanks. Not really unfortunately. It depends on how long the water spots have been on there. Sometimes fresh water spots can be easily removed with a clay bar, but water spots that are left on there for a long time need a water spot remover and polishing to remove completely.
Nice Video ......actually a very quality video, nice video no annoying music good sound , I have a Question: at 11:58 seconds on the hood you can see slight swirl marks, does de Quartz coating cover that up ? same like wax
And why not use a finishing foam pad with the essence since it for high gloss ?
True. It’s just a paint enhancement not a correction. The customer didn’t want us to go any further since he drives it all the time. The coating won’t cover that, but that’s ok. We do what the customer wants. It’s not that big of a deal if the customer is ok with it.
I haven’t found a pad change to a softer pad with Essence to increase gloss, at least not to me. It think it’s negligible and an extra step that’s not needed. But that’s just me.
Excellent video! Car looks great. It's a real shame those chrome wheels really cheapen the look of the car tho.
Hello I wanted to know what psi do you keep you’re compressor when it comes to detailing? I recently bought a 5 gallon 150 psi compressor
Hi. I keep it at 90psi. It’s perfect.
Hi phill, this Isaac and I’ve been following your tips, but what can I do after to keep my truck looking good after a few day after I do the wash and wax and ceramic coating, do I need to wash it again and do it all over ? Or just a wash and dry would do it ? Thanks I’ll be waiting your you reply thanks
Well I guess that would depend on how dirty or dusty it gets. You get away with a rinseless wash to get it looking nice again. But I would stay away from waterless washes if the paint has more than light dust.
Those microfiber applicators you use for the coating, do you know if they are a 70/30 blend or 80/20? I would be worried about 80/20 on soft paint, however if that's what you're using and it works, that's all I need to know! I've had a hard time finding that style of applicator in 70/30.
Hi. Honestly I have no idea. They are soft and work great for me. I’ve never had a problem with them.
trying to find coumpound and polish that dont dust, meguiars 105 205 and the wolfgang twins both dust.
Try the new Megs m110 and m210. They are great!!
where do u get the ceramic coating applicator pad from i didnt see it in the links in the description
Hi. Here ya go Blue Microfiber Applicators. amzn.to/3ri8FQ7
Can you use ceramic coatings on all surfaces except for trim/plastic or is it only for paint? What would you not put Cquartz on?
For Cquartz it’s designed for paint only. It doesn’t do that great on plastic on glass in my opinion. But use Carpro DLUX for plastic trim and wheels. And a dedicated glass coating for the windshield and all the other glass.
Love the microfibre applicator tip instead of the suede block. Do you need to change the applicator after two panels or will one suffice for a whole car?
I usually use one or two depending on how big the vehicle is.
Thank you so much for the tip I managed to coat an entire Mitsubishi Pajero Sport in 5 hours using two Microfibre applicators.
I’ve kept the Microfibre suedes for other coatings and tight areas 😊❤️👍🏽
What fantastic work . Can you put carpro cquartz uk 3.0 on not painted plastic trim ?
Hi. You can, but it doesnt really work that well as a plastic trim restorer, but if the plastic is new it works fine. Cquartz DLUX works better for trim.
Thanks for your help . The car is brand new I'll try the 3.0
i want to see the mustang's owner reaction 😄
I just subscribed to your channel
good friends greetings good job! One question, I want to apply CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 to my car and then CARPRO Gliss V2, but the problem is that I don't have a go lamp! would it serve to place like this? and how long to wait when placing CarPro Cquartz UK 3.0! and move to CARPRO Gliss V2? Thank you
Hi thanks. Do you mean an IR lamp? If so you don’t need that with these coatings. Just wait about 4 hours then apply Gliss over Cquartz. It works fine.
The weather is very humid where i do all the paint correction and coatings. The compound resudue gets very sticky even if you remove just after polishing an area. Coatings are nightmare (i use cquartz) it takes 5 -10 mins to flash and gets sticky to wipe off. I appreciate if you suggest me a better coating according to humid weather conditions.
Hi. It’s very hot and humid here in VA also. I don’t wait for Cquartz to “flash”. I wipe on wait 10 seconds or so then wipe off. For heat and humidity you need to work in smaller sections. I use Megs D300 correction compound and M205 or M210 for finish polishing and they work very well in the heat and humid climates. Give them a try.
@@MirandaDetailing will give it a try next week while applying gliss. Megs compound are very rare to find in India (nobody is selling 205 or 210). I'm using menzerna 400 followed by menzerna 3800 for swirl free shine.
How long should you wait after a new car is delivered from the factory can you apply the ceramic coatings?
Hi. If you know exactly when it was built and painted at factory then you could wait 30+ days, that should be enough time for the paint to cure. Some companies actually bake their paint and that speeds up curing so that it’s ready for any protection.
Phil i got a question, if i layer Gyeon pure evo, can i layer it 4x? Same with the car pro, am i able to layer it 4x? I want to get a really really thick layer on the paint then hit it off with a top coat
Hi. These coatings are not formulated to layer like that. I learned That layering coatings will not do anything special. It’s a marketing tactic to use more product. They bond to each other and west away at the same rate. It doesn’t protect any more than one proper layer.
What pad did you team up the carpro Essence with for this job? I want to purchase a bottle of essence and I'm wondering if I should pick up the carpro polishing pad as well
Ok I saw what pad you used lol...but still do you think I should get the carpro polishing pad?
I haven’t used the Carpro polishing pad I jut let love the cut and finish of the lake country orange pads.
I think Phil you may have started a new detailers fashion with the pyjamas.😁
🤣🤣🤣
Hey while you are still around.... How do I get the rubber part around windows clean and not get black residue on towels??? I use APC with brush and still
So bare rubber will continue to do that unfortunately. I have had success with coating rubber trim like that with a few layers of a trim coating. But other than that just keep it clean and avoid it with your towel. 😎👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing Thanks for the info and reply!! Keep up the good work
You’re welcome!
Hi.. it was a g8 show...
I had a quick question as of coating ...
how about car pro cquartz Sic and then car pro gliss or would u recommend car pro cquartz + car pro cquartz sic ... basically asking this for water spots issues
Hi. I haven’t used Carpro Sic yet. But I wouldn’t mix them laying one on the other. I would use gliss to top either one. Then after 24h Reload as a topper.
@@MirandaDetailingThank u so much..
How long should you let the Cquarts coating to cure in 65 degrees F?
Hi. You will see the coating start to flash after 30-60 seconds or so. That’s really all it takes. Keep an eye on it to see how it reacts.
I had a problem with essence though the detailer that did mine used that and i did not ceramic coat the car i had selant now 7 months later the swirls that he had are reapearing. I guess it fills more than he correct i guess , now i will do it by my own but good joob and probably with ceramic coat they will not reapear but good job :)
interesting. Its been 7 months? It may also be swirls not reappearing but newly installed just by washing it. It does happen after a few months that new swirls will be induced. Even with the safest wash methods. True it can fill to a degree but we have found that it almost all cases its just new swirls. Sometimes thats just what happens, paint will swirl up again over time.
@@MirandaDetailing nop i am 95% they are the old i have other car and is coated and not a single swirl for 3 years and i clean my all cars with all steps pre wash and two bucket and all the maintence done properly ;) well i will correct it soon regards from Portugal
@@MirandaDetailing the car in question was in pretty good shape only light swirls and it seems like it was filled and now they are there is only visible with a good light but definitly there
Weird...
which lc orange pad is that sdo? hdo? or the other flat one?
It’s just the regular flat one bit.ly/3qKz2Ak
What towels are you using to wipe down the coat? Sorry if this was asked already but there’s too many comments to go through. Thank you.
Hi! We just use the Kirkland yellow towels. They work perfectly! Sometimes we get a bad batch and they we crunchy and rough. We just return them and get another package. Washed first they fluff up and are perfect for us.
Are those two color applicator pads specifically for coatings?
Yes they are.
What size bottle of the UK were you showing? I'm trying to decide what size bottle I need to get to do 2 coats on a Dodge Charger.
I cant remember what size it was, but if you want to apply 2 layers a 60ml bottle is perfect and you may have some left over for other things.
@@MirandaDetailing Thank you sir.
What vacuum hose and nosal do you use, where to get? Looking for a long hose that's more soft for interior detailing, or more interior/exterior rub friendly
Hi. Here is a video we did on our trailer update a while back, the links are there for the vacuum reel and hose we use. czcams.com/video/PS8G03cLhvk/video.html
@@MirandaDetailing thank you! I also loved this video. It helps shed some light on ceramic processes, and how long you should really have vehicles for the most successful of applications. I agree fully with the: rather wait 24 hours for essense to cure; vs panel wiping with IPA solution on finicky paint. In fact, our shop just did a black S63 AMG where we ran into this problem with very micro scratching from ipa final wipedown.
You’re welcome! I’m glad some of our tips help others! 😎👍🏼
Do you have to stop using the towels on paint after using the GLISS and Reload?
For gliss you can wash them and degrade them to interiors or whatever but not paint again. For reload it’s fine to wash and reuse. There is not enough Sio2 to cause any problems.
What light is that
It looks like you two have an insanely efficient progress going on. Just a guesstimation. How long do you think it would take you two to detail. A 2015 Honda Pilot with a full paint correction including wheels rims, outside ONLY no door jambs,ect.
Hi. Thanks.
That would take us at least 2 days to complete the work and an extra day for cure time. So 3 days in total.
Okay good I told him probably around 16 hours and then a day to cure
If by yourself yeah it could take about that long, maybe even less time. The important thing is to get experience polishing because that will speed up the process. Also make sure to communicate with the customer and manage their expectations. Most people don’t expect perfection on the paint. And some paint depending on the year, make, model, and color can be either super easy to correct or difficult. That will make a difference in timing also.
Can you clean the microfiber towels in the washing machine after the wipe down or do you need to throw them away?
I usually soak them in a bucket of water and apc for a few hours then wash them per usual.
@@MirandaDetailing Thank you
What happened to the ipa and soap mixture? Can you comment on this and if I should be using this before coating. ?
I don’t use ipa’s anymore for coatings. I now use primer polishes. Way easier and less risky on the paint. czcams.com/video/GJOiIY0Fnhk/video.html

@Miranda Detailing thank you sir. Do I use this after polishing? Then ceramic coat?
It is a polish. czcams.com/video/SQAGqhqVFmI/video.html
Do you prefer Gyeon Leather for interior plastics and leather, or CarPro Leather 2.0?
Actually both work really well. I like the gyeon Leather Coat because its easy to apply.
Watching this video again after doing cquartz and gliss on my own car.... I think you missed how long to wait after applying gliss to apply reload??
Hi. I waited over night after applied Gliss then applied Reload.
@@MirandaDetailing thanks!! Will apply tomorrow morning
Do we have to wipe down any dust etc that settled on between the 4hrs between cquartz n gliss?
Hi. If dust does settle just use a blower or air compressor to dust it. 😎👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing I see, thanks for the info !
I'm getting lots of water spots on my Gliss v2 topcoat. Is there something I can do to prevent water spots from forming? Like a marine wax perhaps?
Aw man. That stinks. How are you washing it? Is it keep outdoors or in a garage? Are you using any toppers?
@@MirandaDetailing I applied Cquartz lite + gliss last week so i haven’t washed it yet. Outdoors. No toppers yet..
Ah ok. Coatings will spot the first week or two before filling curing. After the 7 days wash it reset and see what happens. You may also need to pick up this bit.ly/2Z8JDK7 by if the spots are not removed.
What air compressor are you using?
It’s my McGraw 8 gal from harbor freight in my trailer I’m using.
Dear Phil can you estimate the average time you spend for similar packhage? Working Hours?
Hi. Our new car preps can take 6-8 hours or so depending on how bad the paint is.
Do you have to apply gliss? Or any top coat to a ceramic coating? Do you also upsell for the top coat as well for more profit or do you include it in the ceramic coating package
GLISS. Was designed to work with Cquartz so I’m not sure if any other topper will work. And yes I charge additional for the second top coat layer.
Miranda Detailing thank you! Appreciate you getting back to me so soon! I just have a hard time selling the top coat/marketing it.
@@MirandaDetailing thank you for the response, can I use Reload instead of GLISS?
Reload is just a maintenance topper that should be applied every 3 months or so. GLISS is an actual flexible coating that lasts a year or more on top of Cquartz.
Question why not paint correction? With a new car like that it could be done easily .
Well it’s what the customer wanted. He didn’t want to pay for a correction since it was new. He wasn’t worried about tiny swirls here or there. Plus I’d rather not go heavy correction on a new car.
cool, new Mustang being given the Miranda treatment.....you may proceed sir!👌 😎
