Well, after I mentioned I was a bit intimidated to polish and coat my daughter’s 24 year old BMW, y’all encouraged me to go for it. She and I did that this weekend using the methods y’all recommend and it went very, very well. Other than some rock chips and a few deeper scratches, it turned out fantastic. She is more that happy that her car looks so shiny and new. Thanks for the education and the prodding to do it.

This will answer your questions, and more. Everything you need to know about QUICK BEADS (our water-activated ceramic spray) kzread.info/dash/bejne/dK2C1s1pgbe2aKQ.html

Great video. Question. At the very end when you are drying. You said “now if this were doing a maintenance wash we would be adding quick beads or ceramic gloss”. I do understand that you would not use a drying towel yet if your next step was to spray on quick beads because you then need to spray off the Quick Beads. Then dry the car with the towels. But if you were going to use Ceramic Gloss. How do you go about that step. Obviously you don’t use the large drying towel to dry the car because you’re going to use the Ceramic Gloss. How do I go about using that product while the surface is wet? If you have a video showing what to do please share it. Do you use smaller towels and spray ceramic gloss on the surface and buff each section and your drying at same time your spreading the CG? If so how do we prevent the car from drying to fast since it will take longer to wipe the entire car down since we have to spray and buff a product into the surface as we are drying at same time (in comparison to just grabbing the big towel and going at it to dry the car like in this video). We do not have the same environment like an indoor shop like you have here. We have to do ours outside in driveway before we can pull the car into the garage. In your shop moisture sits on the surface longer while outside the hot summer air dries the paint pretty quick. Now we do use a DI system so as to eliminate the worry of minerals drying on the surface just so you will know.

This is where I like Ivan's idea of combining the iron remover and clay towel treatment into one step (not all iron removers are meant for this but DIY's is). Not only does it remove separate rinsing stages and allow the iron remover to go further, but being able to use less product also means being able to use less water to wash off the product. I however have another technique: I do it during a light rainfall.
