Well,
Just trying to narrow down some leveling towels,
I’ll throw them out to everyone, see which ones ,
otherwise I might end up with all .
Got it narrowed down to 4

Edgeless 300 and the pearl are both good options. Or level out with the pearl and final buff with the 300. Good combo to work with.

I`ll second Guz`s choice .
Will be using the Edgeless 300`s to remove both CQUK 3.0, on my rims, and Gliss V2 on the rest of the car.
I`ll time it so that my coating of the car and rims with Gliss V2 starts at least 4 hours, as per directions, after I`ve removed the CQUK 3.0 from the rims.
Previously applied the Older version of CQUK, the 2.0 about 10 days ago.
Didn`t have quite enough for the rims.
Will also wash and dry thoroughly before I under take anything.
Thanks again to Guz for his tips and suggestions through PM`s.
I 3rd with the RC 300’s. They’re HQ and cheap. Don’t feel bad tossing.

I wanted to post my choices, so here goes...
After much deliberation, taking into account my application environment, budget, and needing 2 coats, wheels plus trim.
This was my best choice.
I picked up 2 bottles, plenty for my wheels, trim and 2 coats.
I will use what I already have for the glass. McKee’s 37.
Since I’ve never done a paint coating. I had to budget for
application, this is what I picked up.
The 12 grey/blue Saver Apps. Will be my primary.
Just by holding the Carpro block/suede, they will go off the balcony, real quick.
The white Gtech.AP2 is small but nice, for windshield.
All the rest will be for my trimmin’s, which I’m doing today, along with claying.
The towels would be
Grey Pearls 320gsm, first leveling wipe.
Yellow RC 300gsm and
Black GTech. MF6 300gsm for second wipe.
Eraser wipe down,
I found this great Black and Yellow set of 6 - 12x12 540 gsm edge less,
to keep things color coded.
GTech. M6 ‘s are a bit off budget, will be great for trim.
And to completely go off the rails...
I found this great, tall AV 3 tub cart.
39” tall, 4” wheels, very light and easy to maneuver.
When my butt is on my stool, the middle tub is the perfect height.
Fully loaded I can pull it around one handed. I can’t do that with my metal cart.
So bought 2 and metal cart is off the balcony.
I’ve already done my wheels with BF.. Love it !
This Monday is Clay and Trim.
I’m taking time off next week to
Polish and coat.
The paint will be tricky, because of the dusty underground parking.
Getting 2 coats, will require almost concurrent layers.
The BF will allow this, with little cure time in between.
Wish me luck

Does microfiber nap sizes (thick or thin) maters when leveling or buffing a freshly applied coating?

how did your coating job go mary?
Well.. Did my chem. decon. and coated wheels last Monday.
Just today finished the mechanical decon. and
Trim got coated.
Next Monday will be my Polish & Coating to wrap
things up.
So far so good, only thing is having to stretch this out.
Seem to never have the time

Off topic, Mary how did you like the Beasley’s plasma coat overall. Do you feel you got a year?
Have a bottle and advance coat gloss.... just wondering if I should use. If last a year plan is to top with tacs Moonlight,

HI Coating=crack
I put Plasma on the hood of my Malibu almost a year ago, still going strong. (I tend to drive too fast and the hood heats up, wax don`t likey)
Kinda thinking of layering the Plasma on top of my BF coated DD. I contacted Beasley`s
and they said it will work. That would be one heck of a sacrificial layer.
I`m very Interested in the Advance Coat Gloss, so when you do use it, please fess up

Yes Beasley recommends as a topper for their coating so why not. Since you like and your seeing a close to a year I’m going to do my mothers car with it and top with moonlight. As a test though I’m going to not top hood and compare ACG, Cosmic spritz and shine supply Clutch. I’ll send you my thoughts on the ACG
