I'm about to try Liquid Glass for the first time. 
The container says to use a 'coarse cloth' to apply it...I assume this means my cleaning cloth will work?
It's not very descriptive on the 'how'...I assume I put it on light enough just to wet the surface, to ensure there are no runs?

Any other advice before I dive into this?
Anything to watch out for?

Thanks!

I would use a soft cloth and spread it thin and even, let it dry and buff with a soft cloth.

Coarse cloth??? Lips Sealed  UGH!!!!!!!!!!

Not on a new paint job man...

The coarse cloth would help with oxidized paint jobs in where you're removing dead 'skin'...

I use Turtle Wax's 'Express Shine'... ONE step, carnauba based wax..

It's superb...quick and easy....Leaves a super smooth...almost like plastic coating on the paint that really brings out the metal flake...and lasts quite a while....

Micro fiber to apply and buff works just fine. 

I've been using LG for years and it's a tremendous product.  One of its nicer features is it does not leave any white residue.

I've got about 7 coats built up on my F6b. After a treatment of LG, let the bike sit in the sun. The LG is supposed to set up into a hard finish. I even put a pretty good coat on each time. It buffs off easily and can even be applied in the sun.
I also use soft microfiber cloths.

The shine from the Liquid Glass is pretty impressive!

Agreed, I only have 1 coat on now, but I like this stuff.  It wipes clean so easily, took 15 minutes max to cover the bike.
I'm sold on it.
