How to maintain my coating and car

[Jus]

Hi guys

New to this forum and to Car Pro products..have previously been using traditional carnuba waxes for all my cars till now so just want to know I'm doing this right

New car has been coated with a few layers of Cquartz by a professional, windscreen treated with flyby forte

Am very happy with the results so I went ahead and grabbed a few CP products. can someone share with me a step by step guide on how to properly use them to maintain my car

Tar X
Iron X
Eraser
Reload
Reset
Essence plus
Immolube

This is what I do

Step 1: Tar X on affected areas mainly lower body --> let it sit for a bit --> water off --> dry with Mf.

Step 2: Iron X on car body and wheels. --> let it sit --> clay Mf body --> water off.

Step 3: reset shampoo entire car --> water off --> dry car.

Step 4: reload either applied on a wet mf or directly onto paint --> buff off with dry mf.

Questions

- immolube do I wash off iron x first or is it fine to use in conjunction with iron x while it's still on the body and with the clay mf?

- after I have used iron x on the wheels and agited it do I just hose off and dry or do I need to soap it off or use a wheel cleaner as well?

- essence plus I understand is used to repair the coating without having to remove the coating completely and reapplying should I apply reload on top of essence plus or do I just leave it ?

- eraser do I need to use erase after iron x and tar x? If so before or after soaping with reset will it remove cquartz or flyby coating?

- will iron x or eraser remove my cquartz or flyby coating?

- can I alternate between reload and wax weekly after washing?

Sorry for all the questions just want to be sure! Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Immolube can be used in conjunction with Iron X, but it's best to rinse off Iron X before applying Immolube. You can use Immolube with the clay mitt to remove any remaining contaminants.

After using Iron X on the wheels, rinse them thoroughly with water and dry with a microfiber towel. You can use a separate wheel cleaner if needed.

Essence Plus can be applied before Reload to repair the coating without having to remove it completely. Allow Essence Plus to dry before applying Reload.

Eraser can be used after Tar X and Iron X to remove any remaining residue. It should be used before washing with Reset. Eraser will not remove the Cquartz or Flyby coatings.

Iron X and Eraser should not remove the Cquartz or Flyby coatings.

Yes, you can alternate between Reload and wax weekly after washing.

Have you encountered any challenges or uncertainties in maintaining your car's coating with the mentioned products, especially regarding the sequence of using Immolube with Iron X, the treatment of wheels after applying Iron X, and the application of Essence Plus and Reload?

Maintaining your car and its coating is pretty straightforward and makes a huge difference in keeping it looking sharp. Just give it regular washes with a good car shampoo and a microfiber mitt to avoid scratches. Make sure to dry it properly with a microfiber towel to prevent water spots. Every few months, throw on a good wax to protect the paint and keep it shiny. Use a quick detail spray between washes to keep it looking fresh, and always try to park in a garage or shaded spot to protect it from the sun. And don’t forget to clean off bird droppings ASAP since they can damage the paint. Following these simple steps will keep your ride looking awesome!

1. Regular washing: Regularly wash your car using a gentle car wash soap and a soft sponge or microfiber cloth to remove dirt and grime that can damage the coating.

2. Waxing: Apply a coat of wax to your car?s surface every few months to add an extra layer of protection to the coating. This will help repel water, dirt, and other contaminants.

3. Avoid harsh chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your car?s paint and coating as they can strip away the protective layer and cause damage.

4. Park in shade: Whenever possible, park your car in a shaded area to protect the coating from the harsh UV rays of the sun. This will help extend the life of the coating and prevent it from fading or peeling.

5. Avoid scratches: Be careful when hand washing or drying your car to avoid scratching the coating. Use a soft cloth or microfiber towel and gentle, circular motions to prevent any damage.

6. Regular maintenance: Keep up with regular maintenance tasks such as oil changes, tire rotations, and other routine checks to ensure your car is running smoothly. A well-maintained car will also help preserve the coating and paint job.

7. Professional detailing: Consider getting your car professionally detailed every once in a while to remove any stubborn stains, dirt, or contaminants that regular washing may not be able to remove. This will help keep your car looking its best and maintain the coating.

I do not suggest using "clay" or a clay alternative (mitt) on a coated car.
IIRC - It can damage the coating.

Also, I'm not a big fan of putting wax on top of a coating.
Reload or Elixir works fine.

If you buff/polish on a coating it can/will remove the coating.
