I have seen a few outlines of the CQ UK application on new vehicles here, and seems consensus is a polish via "Essence" is required.
Have a brand new truck straight from factory, have inspected the truck top to bottom and I can't seem to find a swirl, or much serious orange peel. I don't believe it has ever been washed, and has 30 miles on it, from me driving home. No rain yet.
Main question and concern is,
1)while using essence, will it make black trim white if it accidentally touches(like a wax)?
2) Taking into consideration the above, can the essence be applied by hand on the pillars and small sections(above windows, around decals)-as I don't want to get the product anywhere it shouldn't get...
3)I am avoiding clay barring truck because in the past I have seemingly marred up paint because of it.
Overall, I plan
1) Wash with reset, so no fillers, etc
2) Gyeon Quartz Iron Remover
3) Essence Extreme Gloss Enhancer
4) Two coats UK 3.0 on paint(maybe more depending on how well the day is going)
5) Wait hour between each coat
6) Top paint with glass
7) Is reload needed now?
8)Trim and wheels with Dlux one coat....
9)Keep truck in shade(outside under awning) with fans running all night to keep dew from forming on paint. Drive 24-48 hrs later..
Any critique?
Will post photos of truck later and would love to post a detailed process to help others. Have done the CQ UK on wifes car, and it is amazing, still beading up like new and I believe it has assisted in fighting swirl marks-but may just be my careful washing
