CQUARTZ - UK 3.0 (Ceramic coating)
Protect your car with the most durable and chosen ceramic coating in the world!

As you'd expect from CARPRO, we stand by our ethics: no under-promises of excessive durability are advertised with any of our coatings!
Preparation:
- Decontamination and washing of your vehicle before polishing.
- To get the most out of Cquartz, your vehicle should have all surfaces 100% clean and the paintwork polished to a high standard.
- Use CARPRO Reflect to achieve an incredible gloss finish
- Use CARPRO Eraser to remove oil residue after polishing - This is essential to ensure the durability of CQuartz.
- We recommend the double-sided microfibers from CARPRO
- We recommend microfiber applicator mitts

CQuartz Maintenance
1. Wash regularly with CARPRO RESET
2. Wash Mitt:
CARPRO MITTEN (Recommended for daily drivers and most cars - This glove is the easiest to maintain and is extremely durable and washes easier)
Merino wash mitt (recommended if the car has extremely soft paint or the car is not extremely dirty).
3. Drying towel: CARPRO DHYDRATE OR FAT BOA.
4. Quick detail: CARPRO Ech2o 1:15 or Elixir and CARPRO BOA Microfibers (need about 3-6 towels).
5. From time to time (every 3 to 6 months) decontaminate the surface with CARPRO IronX. Use during the wash cycle (Before CARPRO Reset) and as directed.
6. You can use CARPRO Reload or Hydro2 every 3-12 months.
Advice :
- Keep surface dry for at least 3 hours after application (for best results, keep dry for 24 hours).
- Gently wipe any water from the surface for the first 24 hours after application.
- Avoid detergents and chemicals for 5 days after application.
- Find the right time to "level" (wipe off) the excess coating after the flash
- Begin with a single 2ft x 2ft test section to determine flash time before coating the entire vehicle. Flash time varies with temperature, humidity, air movement, type of paint, thickness, etc.
- If the coating is applied thick, the coating will take longer to flash. If applied thin, it will flash faster. Hot temperatures will cause it to flash faster, cold temperatures will cause it to flash slower. Air movement will make it flash faster.
- As it Flashes, you'll see it change from a darker, wetter look to a lighter, drier look.
- All streaks should be easily erased and the paint should be nice and clear.
Precautions:
- Do not apply in direct sunlight or on a hot surface.
- Do not reuse applicators
- Do not reuse the towels you used to buff the paint.
- Wear gloves
- Wear respiratory protection such as a painter's mask.
