Coating leveling

[razkole]

Are CarPro Suede MicroFiber reusable. Getting ready for my 2nd coating ever and if remember correctly they harden after use. Are they washable with a microfiber solution? Thanks!

Not sure if its "allowed" but I dropped mine in a car wash soap bucket with wash product in it, to keep them wet as I was completing my application Saturday/ Once completed I immediately washed all towels and suedes used in Microfiber restore and some APC. Seems like they are Ok or at least would be Ok for wheels at very least. They did not harden up and I had one new one left and didn't seem different to my touch washed to new.2017-05-06 WebSiz.jpg

I personally do not reuse them. I find they are very inexpensive as far as peace of mind goes. Yes they will harden with silica crystals and could potentially mar the paint you just spent hours or days correcting. To me, not worth the chance. However, I know many people do reuse them. They immediately drop the used suede into a bucket of strong APC warm water mix, then wash them thoroughly after the install. If you are going to reuse them, do this!

When coating...I personally don't like/use the thin suede towels.
I prefer using the CarPro 2 Face (No Lint) 16" x 16" for coatings.
Some folks immediately put the towels in a bucket water/APC.
...and yes, I only use them once...for me it's not worth the risk.

^^Agreed, however I use the thin suedes first for initial wipe off, then follow up with CarPro 2 Face towels for final wipe

Is that allow to spray some diluted 1:20 ech2o to level the coating to reduce highspot leftover?
