• Soap: CARPRO Reset
• Chemical Decontamination: CARPRO IronX , CARPRO TarX (if needed),
• Mechanical Decontamination: Clay Bar & Clay lubricant (If needed for paint overspray contaminants or if still rough after IronX)
• Compound: CARPRO Clearcut (If needed) & any cutting pad of your choice.
• Finishing Polish: CARPRO Reflect & polishing pad of your choice. *At a minimum a light polish should be performed to ensure proper bonding of coating.*
• Polishing Oil Remover: CARPRO Eraser

• CQUARTZ Coating of choice: 15ml +/- per coat for average sized vehicle (Ex: Honda Accord) 
• CARPRO 2 Face No Lint towels or Edgeless Polish Towels - Recommended towels for coating removal

• Wash with CARPRO Reset.
• TarX as needed if you have tar. (Avoid clear bra and other plastics, headlights, trim… etc.  If it drips onto them rinse or wipe off immediately.)
• IronX entire vehicle (if using in sun do NOT allow it to dry on the paint)
• Clay if needed (for paint overspray contaminants or if still rough after Iron X)
• If you do not have any of the following compounds or polishes,  Do not use any that are oily or has any fillers as they will not allow the coating to bond to the paint.
• Compound with CARPRO ClearCut. If compounding isn’t needed go straight to polishing with Reflect (do a couple test sections to check)
• Polish with CARPRO Reflect - Use very little.  One thin line for fresh pad and only 3-4 tiny dots for each section after. Polish until it's gone and then wipe off even though there will be VERY little to wipe. (CARPRO Essence Extreme can be also be used for this step instead)
• Panel Wipe with CARPRO Eraser. Use liberally and flip/switch mf towels often so as not to re-deposit oils on the paint.
• CQUARTZ Coating: 15ml +/- per coat per average sized vehicle (Ex: Honda Accord)

1. Wrap Suede over the gray side of the foam applicator block. 
2. Gently shake the bottle of CQUARTZ. Open bottle away from face.
3. Drag one or two lines of product down the applicator.
4. Wipe access surface in cross cross pattern. Add more product as needed.
5. Depending on temperature, humidity, and paint type, wait between 1-5 minutes and find the right window to wipe when your doing your first test panel of a 2ft x 2ft section. Too soon and it will just be oily and no grab to it when wiping.  Too late and it becomes hard to remove with a dry towel.  You want to remove when you feel it giving just a little push back against your towel but not hard to remove and no longer oily.  Should feel like a nice sealant does. If left too long it will become difficult to remove and leave streaking. If removed too early then it won’t have a chance to bond and will keep streaking. 
6. Finding the right time: When you initially wipe the coating it will leave some streaks but with the second wipe with a fresh clean side of the towel the streaks should wipe off and the paint should be nice and clear. 
7. Be sure to flip the suede applicator over after working on a panel or two, and switch to a new cloth when needed to avoid streaking.

Coating Application Tips:

• a.  Lighting is key to make sure you wipe off completely when you do wipe off.  You don't want spot lighting like would use on paint correction but ambient lighting.  Spot lighting will "wash out" the high spots visually. Think of it like this: when you wipe off a sealant you have hours to go and check it again outside or in more light etc. in this case you need to pay attention as you go rather than wait an hour. Thorough removal of the coating is very necessary as any product left on the surface will harden and require polishing to remove.
• b. High spots: If you get to them within minutes then a bit more product will lift them. Otherwise you would use a dot of essence or reflect and rub the high spot off, wipe it down with Eraser, and then re-coat that area and start wiping off the perimeter early working inwards to feather it. If a high spot is found after the coating has cured it will require polishing to remove and than re-coat.
• c. If applying two coats of CQUARTZ, Apply second coat after 45-60 mins, if the 60 min point has passed and as long as the car is being garaged the second coat can be applied the next day. 
• Reload: If you can garage the vehicle apply the Reload the next day but otherwise 45-60 min from when you started the CQ treatment. 
• d. Avoid any rain or water for a minimum of 1 hour, and if the vehicle should get wet within the first 24 hours, it should be carefully dried as the coating will be more vulnerable to water spots within the first 24 hours.

• **Washing regularly is the most important item.**

1. Do not wash with soap for 5-7 days after application.
2. The best thing to do is start using CARPRO Reset to wash with regularly.  Other soaps can leave residue that temporarily mess up the beading and let dust and dirt stick more. 
3. Wash Mitt: 
   
• Merino Wool Wash Mitt or Microfiber Madness DeliMitt - Recommended if car has soft paint or car does not get extremely dirty.
• Microfiber Madness Incredimitt 
4. Drying Towel:Microfiber Madness Chipmunk (25" x 17") or CARPRO DHydrate BOLD Drying Towel - 27" x 35"
5. CARPRO ECH2o Concentrate or CARPRO Release and Microfiber Madness Crazy Pile (need about 3-6) towels for Quick detailing
6. Every 3 to 6 months decontaminate surface with CARPRO IronX. Use after washing with Reset.
7. Apply CARPRO Reload every 3 mths, for special occasions or any time you like, or after IronX treatment. Do not apply in direct sun.

• A. Avoid sprinkler and hard tap water (If your vehicle is subjected to this and it is not removed in the regular wash cycle then use CARPRO Spotless and MF towel.
• B. Remove bird bombs from vehicle surfaces immediately (CARPRO ECH2O or CARPRO Release + MF towel)
