Yes! Yes!

reload giving 6 months protection is a pretty huge stretch. As someone who's gone through 4-5 bottles of reload, it usually lasts about a month or so, a couple months if the vehicle is not driven daily.

3 1/2 years later I'm doing research and what do I see but an entry from Brian and his library of detailing information. Thanks again for everything you do pal 🍻

Thanks Brian. Applied CQuartz to my silver 2004 Honda Insight (hybrid) a month ago. Performed paint correction with a 3M compound/polish, IPA prep, cQuartz, then Reload. This is my first nano application, on a car that is not garaged and sitting under big oak trees. I'm really impressed so far with the protection. Makes the washing cycle so much easier, the the slickness to touch is holding well. Can't wait to see where this combo stands after 6 months. Your process is helpful. Will have to try Essence next time when I do my other car.

Another excellent video, Brian. Yes, more coating videos and having us see the results in sunlight was a very good idea.

The black Range Rover looks great with the CarPro ceramic coating. I have a 10-year old Lexus RX-350 with metallic paint and I finished compounding with CarPro Reflect and then applied two coats of CQuartz UK. The paint looks amazing in the sunlight with incredible depth and gloss. I plan to maintain the CQUK with Reload and I expect to get several years of protection from the coating.

Have you had many issues with gliss as a top coat? I have heard finicky application? Depending on temp at application, if you cross hatch on app it removes some of what was laid down that started to cure and you get short lasting and spotty performance. If you apply in cooler weather it applies much better. Being in the south those are fewer days.

Excellent friggin work Brian! That sun shot did it. A lot of people skimp out on doing the lowest panels (sideskirts and things like that) without thinking that even if the consumer can’t exactly point out what it is, it makes the car pop that much more. That haze was not readily apparent until you showed the 50/50 shot after essence. Definitely darkened the paint and made the rest, previously flawless looking paint look bad in comparison.

Great video as usual! Just wondering how long did you wait until you applied the ceramic coating after essence?

The video was awesome !!! I am totally sold on their products as I have used different ones at different times but now its time for my start to finish on a 1966 Mustang I have restored. For the first time I used their Clearcut compound and was blown away. My bottles of 3M 1,2,3 are going to gather dust from here on out. Question - you never mentioned what you actually used as a wax and grease remove after the essence ? I don't want to use anything to strong but want to be totally prepped for the Cquartz. I would normally uses alcohol in a spray bottle but what do you suggest ? Thanks and thank you for the video

I did the exact same process on my wife's brand new VW Golf 7.5 highline in August last year. I used an orange hexlogic pad with the essence and wow what a result. 12 months on and with only a couple of applications of reload and it's like i applied the coating yesterday. They say that the original Cquartz, as you're using here, isn't as effective as CQUK but I'm not so sure. I'll get more than two years out of it easily.

We could figure something out! Could be a hole mother business venture for you maybe? If not still would love to come out and learn! Much love Andrew!

The RANGE ROVER came out great Brian! My question: how much of the ceramic coating did you use to cover the whole vehicle? I noticed it comes in two sizes, a 30ml and 50ml...

Great video on the application and leveling of the coating. The results speak for themselves. I have been playing around with many of the consumer coatings and Cquartz (both versions) are at the top of my list. Essence is another nice polish and just adds that extra pop prior to a Cquartz coating. Also great tip on using a prep wipe after Essence. I do the same and recommend it as well. Looking forward to more of your coating videos.

What do think of the Gtechniq Crystal Serum? Its on the top of my list with CarPro a very close second.

@MikeGDetailing

6 жыл бұрын

Apex Detail I like Crystal Serum Light. It’s much easier to apply that’s for sure along with it being slicker. I do like the hydrophobic properties of Cquartz a bit better. Very close call between the two brands. Gyeon Syncro is cool. The top coat Skin is pretty impressive in terms of slickness and hydrphobics.

How do you like hydro 2 compared to reload? I like the application method after. Maintenance wash

Question, do you buff off before it flashes? I haven't had much luck with ceramic coatings, routinely getting high-spots.

Do you go over whole care with essence before your wipe off with the prep spray on towel?

Question- if using carpet essence gloss enhancer, do you still need to use their eraser before the ceramic? Will the ceramic adhere given the essence has oils?

yes !! compare all 3 versions of CQuartz on the market for anyone (original, UK and 3.0) !!!

Looks lije Steve Carral

Brian question where do you like to put the stickers for the Nano coating?

So you did essence with lake country white pad, followed by coating and reload? Not sure about the polishing part you did, as I would like to do the same..

Hello Good afternoon, how long should I wait to apply the Reload after the two layers. thank you

Great video! When you say the coatings offer 2 years of protection, what exactly are they protecting against? Do they resist scratches, or do they perform more like a wax? Thanks

@apexdetail85

6 жыл бұрын

Self cleaning properties, Protect against etching from bird dropping, pine sap, water spots. They reduce scratching...but are not scratch proof. The improve gloss 100 percent. They guard against chemicals in between 2-12 on the pH scale.To name a few.

"I have so many layers that I wait 48 hours before applying Reload." Curious, how many layers did you put on the Range? Wait time in between layers?

how long before you applied cquartz after using essence? i heard there is a curing time for essence as well.

Hello, does the carpro esscence expire or does the container have an expiration date once opened? How long does it last since I see that it has a label attached with the date of manufacture and nowhere do they explain that, thank you very much, excellent videos. Greetings.

How would you rate the Cquartz vs Miyabi? Trying to decide on my next coating....

How much filling ability does this have? I have some scratches that are through to bare metal but can’t afford to get it repainted

Doesn't Cquartz advise against using IPA/Prep after Essence? BTW a little tip, if you notice high spots even hours after applying, just reapply CQuartz on that spot again, the solvents will easily remove the high spot. I can confirm this for 24 hours later on black coat.

Will the IPA remove the fillers from the Carpro essence? Thank you.

Quick question. Should I use panel wipe after using essence, before applying a cquartz ceramic coatin???

Apex Detail in your experience what would you recommend for a prosumer coating? I live in a dusty hot desert summer and a severe winter wonderland with lots of salt. My truck is a daily driver and spends time off-road as well. Been looking at Gtechniq CSL+EXO V4 or Carpro UK 3.0 with maybe gliss, or Gyeon Synchro Kit.

Is the product called "CQuartz Nano" or is it just the CQuartz / CQuartz UK? I'd like to try this; I like the idea of a long working time. I have Reload as a standalone protectant and it seems like a good product.

Okay so this has been the question for me. I have a 20 year old car, its paint is corrected and free of swirls. It has a bunch of rock chips and other minor issues. Is it still worth getting a ceramic coating?

Your thoughts on using Essence with other coatings like G Techniq's Crystal Serum Light? Any experiences? I did my daughters husbands car last week and used Essence as the finishing polish and then applied Crystal Serum Light and Exo on top of it. It came out stunning. I'm hoping it adheres right. It's an experiment. So far so good. I'm a big fan of the GTechniq coatings because they've held up well through 2 Ohio winters and still going strong on my wife and mine vehicles but I've read and heard good things about Essence. I like it as a last step polish. No one has any good info on mixing the products.

Roger Baron I have used CarPro Essence prior to coating 2 vehicles, one with CSL topped with Eco V3, and one topped with 2 coats of Eco V3. The coating have last very well, very surprised with the Eco V3 on how well it survived a salty Canadian winter. In both cases, I used CarPro panel wipe before coating. I just coated a third car this weekend using Essence and Eco V4, but can't talk about durability on that one yet. On the other hand, I coated a Lexus and we years ago with CQuartz and had some trouble with application as the product flash time very depending on environmental conditions, which required me to get the polisher back out on a couple of panels. Also, the CQuartz did not survive a Canadian winter!

How does Cquartz compare to Cquartz UK 3.0?

@MikeGDetailing

6 жыл бұрын

The main difference is that Cquatz contains Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) as well as Silicon Dioxide (SiO2). It is often referred to as Classic or TiO2. The TiO2 gives it more reflectivity and stain resistance. Looks great on lighter colored paints. CQUK 3.0 is the harder of the two coatings and has been recently updated to have better stain resistance. CQUK 3.0 is also more wipe on wipe off as it flashes faster than Cquartz Classic/TiO2.
