nice work Sheedi! I remember you recommending this product over other sealants and waxes. have you tried klasse? I had some ordered.

for this sealant process, you had to wash and clay the car first correct?

This is not regular sealant, like klasse; this is temporary hard coating. process depends on the condition of car but i would recommend
1. wash with carpro wash soap
2. decontiniminate "ironx"
3. clay bar
4. Polish or compund to remove swirls "paint correction"
5. wash/dry
6. Wipe with IPA or Carpro eraser to remove left over wax, polish,quick detailer sprays etc
7.make sure paint is dry, you would be doing this inside garage with enough lights and some heat. rest you can follow on cquartz application on youtube

cure time 48 hours
i like this because i dont have to wax/polish/detail etc thing any more,i just wash and dry and use CARPRO Reload spray once in 3 months

when i did my and my friend's cars; i bought it from autogeek.net

you have to be very careful with this stuff, you can messup your paint if you are not careful and not aware of the process "dos and donts"

Note: above pics were taken on cloudy day
