I did mine myself. Used CQuartz UK and Carpro Gliss top coat. Turned out pretty good, not perfect, but close. Was my first time ever trying it.

If you havent already researched it, heres basically the steps I did.

1) Wash
2) Clay bar
3) De-iron
4) Rinse
5) Polish (if needed)
6) IPA wipe
7) Coat of CQuartz UK
8) Coat of Carpro Gliss

So the biggest thing here is to take your time. All the steps are important if you want to have a good result.

I did a perfect job up until I got to the first coat of cquartz. I did a pretty good job here, but had some high spots, you wont really notice these until the coating starts to try. You can typically remove them with a LIGHT buffing compound by hand. But remember to hit those areas with another layer of coating. Thats the part I did not do. When I was the car now, I can notice the areas that I polished high spots out of (the water does not bead on them). Fortunately, it's not noticeable any other time.

If you just take your time, and only do 1 panel at a time, you'll be fine.

Hope this helps!
