I use both CG and QB’s. I just washed my wife’s SUV after a trip to Lake Tahoe for a ski trip. The road grime and sand residue just fell off without a contact wash, of course, I followed up with a very easy contact wash. Having the car already protected made it an easy wash. I used DIY Rinseless Wash to release the dirt and then rinsed with water, I then sprayed Rinseless Wash again on the car before my contact wash with Rinseless Wash. This time I used QB’s in the water stream and was amazed how easy it was able to apply this way and being a full-size SUV it only took about 2 minutes max to apply. I then followed up with CG on a small towel and dry. Very quick process and fully protected! Super slick when finished! Love both products, thanks Ivan and Nick for providing us with great products that work and are fun to use!!

Quick beads has an extra rinsing step and is most efficient with a soap wash, ceramic gloss is most efficient with a Rinseless wash. I think that’s how it goes 🤔

Is the process like this: #1 Wash with incredible suds or rinseless. #2 Decon with clay towel and iron remover while paint is still wet from the wash (preferably rinseless). #3 Spray quick beads after the decon while the car is still wet. #4 Grab clay towel again but this time spray ceramic gloss to the towel and panels then wipe. #5 Finally just dry the car.

However, I use the new turtle wax products on my Hydro blue Jeep. It really adds the right amount of darkening to the paint as opposed to both of your products that makes the paint super glossy. Nothing wrong with that, but was wondering if you might be creating a product that darkened the paint while adding some gloss rather than just high gloss.

8/12/24 Gerdy from Jersey here. Can you elaborate a little bit more detail on the part about using quick beads as a synthetic clay towel lubricant. Meaning . . . after c-toweling the panel ( a panel ) I assume one panel at a time , are we rinsing that panel right away ? No concern with even coverage , the c-towel did that part , but how about streaking concerns ? We still would not want the combination of iron remover and quick beads w/ clay towel drying before rinsing correct ? I live in a middle class development where all of us have a so called “2 car garage” . Very few of us actually use the garage for car parking and non of us can afford the overspray from washing a vehicle inside. I use an extra large/ tall pop-up tent when needed & DI water for every aspect of the washing-detailing process. Still heat , wind , humidity has to be taken into account when using iron remover ,quick beads & clay towel together . For me , quick beads presents a little bit of a challenge in the prevention of streaking . However I’m excited to hear about using that product as part of the decon procedure with the added benefit protection. I just want to make sure on the proper steps and techniques needed to prevent streaks . Sorry for the long read. I can’t help it.

Also if Im a weekly washer what should i do then after applying the protection the first week of the QB-CG combo? Do I just only use QB, rinse, dry, enjoy?

8-12-24 Gerdy from Jersey. One more question . I like the in-depth data on the two products. Can we do the same for C6 Mist ? Can you reveal its original function ? Meaning I thought that C6-Mist was invented & marketed solely as a drying lubricant that would not have a build up effect when frequently used vs quick beads c-gloss&various other toppers on the market . I understand C6 Mist wasn’t invented to offer same level protections vs c-gloss, q-beads and other toppers used as drying aids, therefore allowing it to be used on a regular basis without the risk of build up . What’s regular? Let’s say a person washes 4 days out of 7. Using a topper as a drying aid would build up over time especially if one likes using multiple brand toppers like ceramic gloss, quick beads, Sudslab Maguires ect ect . When marketers start advertising that a product can be used in many different ways then originally first advertised in order to sell more product, ( np, I get it ) I sometimes get lost or confused as to a product’s original purpose.

But, the wash process is foam, dwell, rinse, foam, contact wash. I then every couple weeks do the Gloss as a drying agent. I have a 5 year coating on it, but my expectation for the coating is probably 2 years. The car is new, so I haven't decon washed it yet (except before the coating) but I plan on doing that every 3 months followed by Gloss. Is 2 years a fair or realistic expectation? I know you can't give an etched in stone answer, but my expectations are actually low coating wise as the car is exposed to extreme heat, milage and rain forest levels of rain lol.

After cleaning the car with ceramic gloss and a clay synthetic mit and then washing it with soap, can I use zymol car wax to seal the car at the very end?
@diydetailofficial Жыл бұрын
Using Ceramic Gloss as your "lube" for the decontamination towel is actually the final step. You just wipe it dry from there and you've left the protection, no need for wax

Yvan, just about to grab some Quick Beads - hoping it’ll help with my insane brake dust a bit. I was thinking, does slickness in general mean anything beyond towel marring? I see that many QDs and traditional polymer sealants are slick, while ceramic coatings often are not. I’ve noticed the slick surfaces seem to be more oleophobic and better for resisting dust etc. Is this one pro of the graphene? Was the industry wrong in chasing insane water beading at all costs and not looking at oil contact angles? Hydrophobicity is nice but a lot of contaminants are oily so I’m surprised no one is talking about it. An iPhone screen is slick and very oleophobic out of the box.

Ceramic Gloss no, spray on and wipe. With Quick Beads, let it dwell for about 30 seconds on clean/wet paint, then distribute it with a hose from the bottom up and do a final rinse to make sure white suds are all gone 👍

@diydetailofficial Жыл бұрын
Ceramic Gloss is my go to during Rinseless Wash. As the name states....once you've washed the paint with Rinseless, no need to rinse off. So after washing, on a wet panel, use a spray or two of Ceramic Gloss on the paint and on your towel and go ahead and dry

I've seen others use water-activated ceramic sealers on a wet car and spraying the product into a clean, wet microfiber towel or wash pad and spread around the panel manually and rinse after. Seems like that would maximize product efficiency and get a much more even application and enhance.longevity.
