    Hey Tonto why you using cotton towels during coating application?

    Been messing around with cotton towels to install spray coatings thinking I’m going to get better durability. Copied this some windshield coating instructions I was thinking I get a little thicker of a coating because cotton would remove less products or solids. Wish someone more skilled than myself could test this out. I have to many placebo receptor and now I have myself believing this works. Only trying on light colored cars because I’m afraid of scratching. I’ve been using this only adams spray graphene coating I want to add which is a reel thin high solvent less solids coating. I have also used in sun with good results when doing a real thick, extra liquid coat.

    I don`t want to go all wet blanket on you since you`re liking the increased durability, but I can`t help but think "clearcoat is clearcoat whether on black or white" and that leads me to think how cotton is *so* easy to micromar with....

    On harder surfaces like glass/wheels/etc. it sounds like a great idea though! No issues with cotton lint? I`d sure like to up the durability if I can, let alone with such a simple change.

    I prefer cotton applicators to mf applicators but I think foam would leave the most consistent layer of coating.
