Cquartz Finest: Corvette Stingray
While I know this is not an F150, it does explain some of the processes for dealing with Cquartz Finest paint coating.

Nice work, Greg. But plucking the nubs off the tires? You probably don't leave the window sticker on a new vehicle so it "looks new" either, huh? lol
Personally I just let the better half parallel park a few times with the new rubber. Tends to scrub those little buggers off.

Thanks! The method of allowing your other half to curb them off often leads to "polishing" of the new rims too, huh?

Very nice work Greg! I love to see white sparkle and attention to the small details.
I have done many new Vettes where the buffer trails are direct from the factory.
I've had clients only allow the dealership to remove the plastic shipping wrapper.
When I received them (with about 25 miles on the ODO) the paint had factory DISO.
I know it makes the client very happy to see the vehicle "Better than showroom new".

This may be a stupid question, but what is DISO?

There are no stupid questions...only stupid answers and I'll try not to do that.
Sometimes DISO is from the factory and sometimes it is from the dealership...
It is when the dealership takes a brand new vehicle direct from the factory and improperly wash it...
Whether they drive it through their "Tunnel O' Swirls" (beater auto-car wash) or poorly hand wash it.
This type of washing puts fine scratches in the paint known in the detailing industry as swirl marks.
Hence the term: Dealer Installed Swirl Option (DISO)
