Tips:

  • Watch video for application tips & tricks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lq9Q4VdEvM 
  • If contamination exists, Iron X and Clay your vehicle before polishing.
  • To gain the most from CQUARTZ your vehicle should have all surfaces 100% clean and paint polished to a high level.
  • Use CARPRO Reflect to achieve an incredible high gloss finish in less time with no fillers. 
  • Use CARPRO Eraser to remove any oils leftover after polishing - This is critical to ensure durability of CQUARTZ.
  • We recommend coating removal towels: CARPRO 2 Face (No Lint) 16" x 16" - Blue/ Orange 10 Pack, Microfiber Madness Slogger (16" x 16") or Edgeless White Polish Towel - 16" x 16".
  • We recommend extra suede applicators if applying more than 1 coat - CARPRO Suede MicroFiber Applicator 4"x4" 10 PACK.
  • Finding the right time to "level" (wipe off) excess coating after it flashes:
    • Start with a single 2ft x 2ft test section to determine flash time before applying coating to entire vehicle. Flash time will vary depending on temperature, humidity, air movement, paint type, how thick it is applied, and more.
    • If coating is applied thick then the coating will take longer to flash. If applied thin it will flash faster. Hot temps will cause it to flash faster, cold temps will cause it to flash slower. Air movement will cause it to flash faster.  
    • When it starts to flash you will see colors that will make the coating look like a rainbow or oil slick. You will see hints of blue, purple, red, and yellow.  
    • Remove too soon and it will be oily with no grab to it when wiping.  If you wipe off too soon it will not give the coating a chance to bond.
    • Remove too late and it becomes hard to remove.
    • The time to remove is when you feel just a little push back or "grab" against your towel but it is not difficult to remove and it is no longer oily.  It may leave some streaks at first but with the second wipe of a fresh clean side of the towel, the streaks should wipe off and the paint should be nice and clear. 
    • Lighting - Lighting is key to make sure you wipe off completely when you do wipe off.  You don't want spot lighting like would use on paint correction but ambient lighting. Look at the paint from different angles to make sure none of the coating is missed. Spot lighting will "wash out" the high spots visually. Think of it like this: when you wipe off a sealant you have hours to go and check it again outside or in other lighting.  In this case you need to pay attention as you go rather than wait an hour. Thorough removal of the coating is very necessary as any product left on the surface will harden and require polishing to remove soon after.
    • CQUARTZ UK 3.0 – Depending on the environment you are working in, it may start to become somewhat difficult to remove within the first 2-4 mins. It may feel tacky and or super grippy and it will smear and leave streaking. If that happens you will want to wait an additional 1 min and do a small test wipe to check. Continue checking in 1 min increments until coating wipes off clean and easy. 
    • High spots - A high spot is excess coating that was not leveled (wiped off).  Most of the time it will look like an application mark. If you discover to them within minutes then a bit more product will lift them.  Otherwise you would use a dot of finishing polish such as CARPRO Essence or Reflect and rub the high spot off, wipe it down with Eraser or your IPA of choice, and then re-coat that area and onto the area around it by about 6".  Then start wiping off the perimeter immediately and slowly work inwards to feather it until you reach the area you are trying to re-coat at the appropriate time. 

Precautions:

  • Do not apply in direct sun or on hot surface.
  • Do not re-use 4" Suede applicators.
  • Do not re-use the towels you used to buff off with on paint.
  • Wear hand protection.
  • Wear respiratory protection such as painters mask.

Read "Tips" above before coating

  1. Wrap a 4" Microfiber Suede around the black side of applicator block.
  2. Shake CQUARTZ UK.
  3. Slowly open bottle and drag one or two lines of product down the applicator. 
  4. Spread across paint in a criss cross pattern approximately 2 sq ft at a time depending on conditions.
  5. Buff off as soon as it flashes (within 2-5 minutes depending - see tips above) using a CARPRO No Lint Ultra Towel 16" x 16".  
  6. Be sure to remove all excess residue and only then do you move to the next section.
  7. Switch out the 4" Suedes every 2+/- panels.
  8. Additional coats may be applied within 45-60 minutes or wait until the following day if you are beyond 60 minutes.  CARPRO recommends 2 coats. Max Layer - 3 coats.
  9. Apply Reload after final coat within 30-60 mins. Wait until next day for Reload if you miss the 30-60 minute window or at least a minimum of 12 hrs.

After Tips:

  • Keep surface dry for at least one hour after application (For best results keep dry 24 hours).
  • Gently wipe any water off the surface during the first 24 hours after application.
  • Avoid detergents and chemicals for 5 days after application.
  • If it is dry and the air is clean outside then you may park the vehicle in direct sun after application to speed the curing.

Coating Maintenance:

  1. The best thing to do is start using CARPRO Reset to wash with regularly. Other soaps can leave residue that temporarily messes up the beading and allows dust and dirt to stick more readily.  
  2. Wash Mitt: 
    • Microfiber Madness Incredimitt 
(Recommended for daily drivers and most cars - This mitt is easiest to maintain and is extremely durable as well as washing out most easily).
    • Merino Wool Wash Mitt (Recommended if car has extremely soft paint or car does not get extremely dirty). 
  3. Drying Towel: CARPRO or Microfiber Madness.
  4. Quick Detailing
: CARPRO ECH2o Concentrate and Microfiber Madness Crazy Pile towels (need about 3-6 towels).
  5. Occasionally (every 3 to 6 months) decontaminate surface with CARPRO Iron X.  Use during wash cycle (after Reset) and as directed.
  6. If using CARPRO Reload as topper: use every 3 months, for special occasions or any time you like.

Shelf Life:

  • *Ceramic Coatings have a finite shelf life and should be installed within 12 months of purchase.
