Alright, my official list of products:
...
Glaze: Prima Amigo
Wax: Prima Epic
Sealant: Sonax Polymer Net Shield
...
So do you put PNS right on top of Prima Epic? Does that cure up pretty well? I put Amigo and Epic on the GTI the right after I corrected it last year and while they looked great I wasn't too impressed with the beading or the durability. A few months later I put on PNS on the GTI and was pretty happy with that. Even after a full winter water would still bead up well in the spring except for low on the doors.
I went with Gyeon Mohs and their topper for the Subie, but I still have Amigo, Epic, and enough for at least one coat of PNS for the wife's car.

Are sealants necessary? I never used one before. The last time I did a full detail on the GTI with the DA I did clay > polish > wax.
Bruh. Do you even Waxer. Wax is for for chumps. Join the CQuartz revolution Luke. It is the only way.

Yes it's a cool car. But prepare the lube/sawdust.

I'm afraid I'd mess something up using CQuartz. The sealant [user not found] uses seems easier to apply.

Has anyone CQuartzed a truck? I'm assuming I would need more than the standard 30 mil kit
You might want to order the bigger one just to do it. I ordered the 30ml one for my wheels and I used half on the wheels alone. The rest I used on a bunch of the body panels of the Vette. It kind of goes a long way and a truck has more flat panels than some cars so you can likely get away with 30ml.

I did 3 coats of Mohs on the STi and used probably 80% of a 50ml bottle. I think I was a bit liberal with the application, though, you could probably stretch it farther on a darker car where it's easier to see where you've just applied. 30ml would definitely do one coat on a big truck easily, but if you want to do more than that I'd go with the 50ml.
Haven't used cquartz, but Gyeon Mohs was super easy.

This was my exact experience. I couldn't see how much was actually making its way onto the panel so I'd keep dripping it onto the cloth with the fear that I wasn't really applying anything. Even with overdoing it and pouring what I thought was a lot, I still had a lot left in the bottle.

My problem with Cquartz is I'm never satisfied with the surface condition, and I don't want to seal in imperfections.
Should've Cquartz'd the 2007 Frontier when I had a chance... oh well.
That's just something you need to seek therapy for. Based on any number of photos of cars you've detailed, you have "CQuartz worthy" paint on a regular basis.

Same. Even if I polish it I'm not a professional detailer so I'm sure I'll miss some stuff. I guess that's why detailers charge so much for it to be applied.

Barrett, you did a quartz coating on the Z ?
Yup. I Cquartz'd the rims first. Then once I finally cleaned and polished a few panels, I glazed them to get rid of a few micro scratches and then Cquartz'd over that.
I only Cquartz'd the hood, front end and the rear because those were the only parts I polished. I was waiting to get the lift to polish the doors and rocker panels.

I'm a fucking failure.
Anyone know of a rust-prevention coating that's not a paint that I can use that will work on an exhaust? The springs that hold the exhaust together on my bike were showing a little sign of rust so I used some rust remover chemical and a wire brush to get it off. This was last year. Turns out it cleaned it off but offered no protection and the humidity in my garage caused the whole thing to rust up.
I'm looking to get those 2 springs cleaned and recoated before I sell the bike so it doesn't look like I've run it thru a sauna. Any ideas of anything I can buy locally to coat and stand up to being attached to the exhaust?

A light coat of oil?
Ok, I'll look at some options. My main concern is that it doesn't burn off from sitting on the exhaust. Not like it's a huge deal. It's just that I don't ride the bike so I'm not gonna know if it's doing it. I'll clean them off when I get home and then look at coating em.

Just spray it with some chain lube once in awhile. That is made to stick and work in hot places.
