[MENTION=10779]Omicron[/MENTION] contacted me regarding [MENTION=12474]Angela@KRWINS[/MENTION] M2.

The vehicle was dropped off on Friday evening and work began on Saturday morning.
Normal daily driver dirt on the body but the wheels were covered in brake dust.
It must be from the GIANT rotors :eek3:
After the vehicle was washed and decontaminated, I pulled it in to the garage.
Only to see parts of the wheels that were missed and/ or areas that even the smallest wheels brushes would not reach. So after polishing, I carefully cleaned the wheels again using a rinseless wash and a MF towel wrapped around the wheels brushes. On to the Process:

Rinse, apply MCKee's 37 Xtreme Iron remover, Presoak with CG Honeydew snowfoam.
Rinse, wash with CG Citrus wash and gloss.
Clay with Nanoskin Glide and CG fine clay mitt.
Polish: Orange Lake Country polishing pad, Menzerna 3500 via Rupes LHR15 Mark II. Smaller areas via PC, white LC polishing pad
Panel wipe: CarPro Eraser
Paint, headlights and taillights coated with CarPro CQuartzUK 3.0
Textured plastic diffuser area and the fender emblems coated with CarPro DLux
Glass coated with Mckee's 37 glass coating
Wheels: Wheel Wax ( once winter wheels and tires go on, the summer setup will be thoroughly cleaned, polished and coated )
Tires: Meguiars Hyper Dressing 3:1
Exhaust tips: Washed and polished with P21S polishing soap

It applies just like the original Cquartz UK.
I prefer the bottle and applicator sponge set up vs the syringe like dispenser.

The instructions for the 3.0 are a bit different, they specifically say not to let it sit for more than 2 minutes.
Thats no problem, it starts to flash quickly. I did not encounter any high spots to level with the applicator pad.
I really like the CarPro MF Suede towels to remove the coating.
Only crappy part is you have to throw them out after 1 use.
The silica dioxide in the coating will harden so you can't really wash them.

I know it's a lot of work, but you make it sound so simple, and always produce fantastic results.

Thanks man.
When people ask how much, I say what are they looking for. Then I go into a 10 minute spiel about what all can really be involved. I usually get a blank stare and an "oh."

So I'm glad you enjoy the thorough write up :bigthumb:

Thanks again man! The car came out great! We really appreciate your effort and it shows!

Of note - Crazy how the car color in your photos differs from what it looks like in person. The teal really pops in sunlight now with the polish and coat. It looks amazing!
