The idea here is to keep the applicator evenly moist, make your passes very even ( yeah, should have taken that years-long Zaino Thin Coats Class), and get all your expensive coating evenly spread on the vehicle and not soaking up in sponge pads, etc...

I picked up two more car pro applicators and a 10 pack of the small cloths just to have on hand in case I ever need them- not a bad idea I suppose

wow thanks Ray, I like that you can apply it right after. and I agree on the LC applicators, I am pretty used to them, so I picked up another pack as well.

also agree with you there. you inspired me to toss them after use but I decided to keep the older ones for wheels or to use with crystal coat inside my house- I`m darned to find a use for that stuff- haha

Looking forward to your thoughts and pics of you get a chance to document the detail! I`ve heard soooooo many good things about CSL+EXO, but I haven`t seen much posted yet.

The applicator that comes with CSL sucks! I hated it! I`d go with Dan`s suggest and use it with the CarPro block and suede you already have.

I will have a Charger Hellcat for 7 days! Of course you`re gonna hear (well I guess read) all about it, lol

but I don`t think I will apply all the EXO or possibly any of it right after the CSL because I really wanted to check out the water behavior of just CSL to see what all the fuss is about with adding the EXO

who knows though i might change my mind when the time comes

I saw a video someone posted of CSL and CS black vs. a CQuartz coating and I was unimpressed with the way water sheeted off. I`d also like to test it for myself though.
