CQuartz and microfiber question

Hello everyone,

It's been a while since I last posted, my Camaro got a new bumper a little over three months ago so I took it as an opportunity to do another full paint correction, followed by 2 coats of CQuartz and a final topper of Reload. I have a couple of questions that I hope the experts here may be able to assist with.

Inbetween the two coats of CQuartz I accidentally smudged the paint with my elbow. I grabbed one of my Microfiber Madness Crazy piles and CarPro Eraser to remove the smudge. I had already buffed down the first coat with a CarPro microfiber suede but am now concerned that touching the car before it cured with my Crazy Pile was a bad idea and that I may have ruined the towel.

Similarly, after the second coat of CQuartz was buffed down I applied Reload using a Microfiber Madness Yellow Fellow 2.0 to spread the product and then buffed the product off with more Crazy Piles. Was this a bad idea?

In all, I went through 1 Yellow Fellow 2.0 and 4 Crazy Piles and upon finishing immediately put them in a clean wash bucket with Reset and a few ounces of all-purpose cleaner (Adam's) in it. I let the towels soak for 12 hours, before washing them twice with Micro-restore.

If I ruined the towels I can accept that. What I want to avoid is using towels that I may have inadvertently contaminated with CQuartz crystals and end up ruining the paint I worked so hard to make perfect.

Long winded post, but thank you for reading. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi Chad! You should be fine based on everything you mentioned. You had already wiped off with the suede so it shouldn't be an issue. The towel would feel a bit crispy if it had CQ cured in it.

Best,
Corey
