The CARPRO CQUARTZ Aqua is a multi-surface hybrid coating with a water-based, very low-VOC formula, specially developed for markets with strict regulations on volatile organic compounds, notably Canada and California.
Designed as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional CARPRO coatings, Aqua adheres to virtually all exterior surfaces, except glass. It provides strong hydrophobicity, a self-cleaning effect, and protection against UV rays and chemical aggressors.
Its very low VOC content also reduces the strong odors and significant ventilation requirements associated with traditional coatings, making it more suitable for application in a residential garage or enclosed space.
With a durability of up to 1 year, CQUARTZ Aqua offers a versatile and simplified approach to ceramic protection.
Result
A hydrophobic, versatile, and durable protection, with a water-based formulation specially adapted for environments where VOC content is a concern.
CARPRO CQUARTZ Aqua – CQUARTZ technology in a water-based, very low-VOC hybrid formula.
- Prepare the vehicle: carefully wash the surfaces to be protected to remove dirt, road residue, and existing contaminants.
- Decontaminate the surface: perform proper decontamination and, if necessary, polishing to achieve a clean and uniform surface.
- Remove residue: use a compatible prep product to remove polishing oils and other residues that may impair the coating's adhesion.
- Dry completely: ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants before application.
- Apply the coating: place CQUARTZ Aqua on a compatible applicator and spread the product evenly over a small section, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Perform the wipe-off: allow the application time specified by CARPRO, then remove residue using a clean microfiber cloth suitable for ceramic coatings.
- Inspect the finish: check the surface under appropriate lighting to detect any product buildup (high spots) and correct it before it cures.
- Allow to cure: let the coating cure according to CARPRO's official recommendations before exposing the vehicle to water or washing it.
Important: Do not apply to glass. Wipe-off times, temperature and humidity conditions, and curing times must be observed according to the manufacturer's official instructions. These parameters are not specified in the information provided and should not be estimated.
Care and maintenance
To preserve the hydrophobic performance and durability of CQUARTZ Aqua, perform regular maintenance using products compatible with ceramic coatings.
- Wash the vehicle regularly to limit the accumulation of contaminants.
- Use a car shampoo suitable for protected surfaces.
- Avoid abrasive products and cleaning methods that may damage the coating.
- Quickly remove aggressive contaminants, especially bird droppings and insect residue.
- Use clean and appropriate washing accessories to reduce the risk of micro-scratches.
- Avoid polishing protected surfaces, as abrasive polishing may remove the coating.
- Carefully close the container after use.
- Store the product according to the storage conditions specified by CARPRO.

1. What is the difference between CARPRO CQUARTZ Aqua and a traditional ceramic coating?
The CARPRO CQUARTZ Aqua uses a water-based, very low-VOC hybrid formulation, unlike several traditional coatings that use solvents. This design reduces the strong odors and significant ventilation requirements associated with conventional coatings, while offering hydrophobic, self-cleaning properties and protection against UV rays and chemical aggressors.
2. How long does the protection of CARPRO CQUARTZ Aqua last?
CARPRO states a durability of up to 1 year. The actual duration may vary depending on the initial preparation, the vehicle's usage conditions, its exposure to the elements, and maintenance methods. Regular washing with compatible products helps preserve the coating's properties.
3. Can CQUARTZ Aqua be applied to the vehicle's windows?
No. The CARPRO CQUARTZ Aqua is not designed for glass surfaces. Its formula is intended for virtually all other compatible exterior surfaces. To protect windows and the windshield, it is preferable to use a coating specifically developed for automotive glass.
4. Is CARPRO CQUARTZ Aqua suitable for application in a residential garage?
Yes. Thanks to its water-based, very low-VOC formula, CQUARTZ Aqua has fewer strong odors and lower ventilation requirements than several traditional coatings. It is therefore an interesting option for residential garages and enclosed workspaces. However, proper ventilation and adherence to the manufacturer's safety instructions remain necessary.
5. Does CARPRO CQUARTZ Aqua require special maintenance after application?
Like any protective coating, CQUARTZ Aqua benefits from regular and appropriate maintenance. It is recommended to use a compatible car shampoo, clean washing accessories, and non-abrasive cleaning methods. Its hydrophobic and self-cleaning effect makes it easier to remove dirt, but does not replace maintenance washes. It is also important to observe the curing times specified by CARPRO after application.
