C Quartz Lite Topper
Hi All, read a few posts regarding topping C Quartz lite with Reload. This helps prevent water spots if the vehicle is going to be exposed to rain within the first few hours of the coating application.
Exactly how long should it 'cure' before exposure to the elements?
Can i use elixir as a topper? if so, how soon after the coating application?

Directions:
- Make sure the surface is clean and full decontaminated. Use CarPro Iron X, Tar X, and clay the surface to ensure all contamination is removed.
- Use Carpro Eraser (or similar) to remove oils before application. Make sure surface is cool and dry. You may wish to polish the surface with CarPro Essence or Reflect to create higher gloss before using Eraser or to ensure maximum durability.
- Apply 10-12 drops on a microfiber applicator; apply the product evenly to one small area of roughly 24x24” / 60cm x 60cm with complete coverage and an even layer.
- Use a CarPro 2Face Towel to remove any excess. CQuartz Lite does not need to be left to cure on the surface so it should be removed immediately. Check well with an appropriate light source to ensure you remove any high spots (excess product that was not leveled) or residue. Note: For a short period of time after application, high spots that were not removed immediately can be corrected by applying more CQuartz Lite on that area and wiping off immediately.
- After the paint is free of residue, leave to dry for 4 hours prior to getting wet. Any water drops during first 48h should be removed before drying to prevent water spotting. We also recommend the use of CarPro Reload 1 hour after application to protect from water spots during first 48h[/B].

Yes you can. Wait after the week curing time to use.

Quick question, can i use suede applicators instead of the supplied microfiber one? If so, same method of drops or a streak of coating on the suede applicator

Sure you can. If you have the supplied microfiber applicator use it. You will like it more than the suede.
