Yes definatly :smiley: just make sure you prep them well before applying the coat ie decontaminate by a thorough wash then ironx then a light claying, light polish to prepare the surface then a full proper wipe down with eraser or similar(ipa or panel wipe), you must make sure all surfaces are free from oils etc from polishing or you could have problems with bonding etc, then your coating, they can't get wet though for at least 12hrs after application so it can bond and cure properly, top with reload an hour after application which will protect the coating whilst its curing :wink:

No matter how mint they look there will be crap there to get rid of trust me, ironx is ph neutral so safe on everything basically.
Give them a good wash with a neutral shampoo if they are just a bit dusty, then ironx,rinse clay rinse and dry off, get some finishing polish or fixer if you've got that and polish by hand, don't have to press hard or anything like that its just to cleanse the surface to get rid of any remaining nastys that could be lerking ;) yes then a thorough wipe down with eraser, apply the cquk thinnly and do a wheel at a time, apply, allow to dwell for a minute or two then wipe of with clean microfibre then onto the next one etc etc.
After an hour apply reload.
