    This video was spot on! Great job! So this would answer my question on why the haze was happening because the wipe off was too early. My question for you was on the 4 mins did you already see flashing? I’m worried that if I let it sit for too long it might not buff off. I live in cali with 70-80 degree weather right now. I never had this problem with cqtz

  • @CarCraftAutoDetailing

    @CarCraftAutoDetailing

    Жыл бұрын

    Thanks mate, and a good rule of thumb when you’re looking for the optimal wipe-off time is feeling just a little tack or friction start to set in - coating can flash and streak well before the best wipe of time has arrived. Just a tingly bit of fraction when wiping lets you know that as much of the active coating as possible has bonded to the surface and you’re going to get the thickest possible application. If you do end up waiting too long, there’s no huge issue there, just add more coating to your applicator and wipe it in over the section to allow the solvents to reactivate the cured coating and it will remove any stubborn excess coating that’s not lever down evenly, and then just readjust your timing moving forward.

    @Mdetailing Жыл бұрын

    Great video great content. Just a note please sir..... The hardness on the cloths some times is deceiving..... Be carefull Many transfer and bonding agents on some coating formulations dont bond proper on fabric material ( like cloth applicators)vs clear coat and can deceive us on the results.

Been watching several videos lately from Rag Company and several other high profile KZreadrs, and kinda sick at how they are reviewing it "way too positively" it's as if they're getting paid to say only nice things without doing a proper testing like you did on this video. now that you've showed how the application goes, the color darkening effect, the scratch test, and the chemical resistance, I now knew what to expect from these diamond-infused products. again, thank you for your work.

    I also appreciate Sandro's efforts to show all of the details that he has here. That said, in regards to The Rag Company: they have worked for a long time to build trust with their customers and do A LOT of testing behind the scenes...but don't necessarily show it on video. If a product isn't good, they don't carry it. They brought on the Diamond Pro Tech (NGNT) coatings after almost 2 years of testing. NGNT also sells their nano diamond tech to other companies, and I believe that is the case with DQuartz. That said, the solvents and other ingredients are different.

You don’t have to apply ceramics flawlessly, just gotta get the basics right and understand not every car is gonna sit in a museum or even look nice in 8 months. C’est la vie

    As a professional installer for SystemX and many other pro coatings I can tell you it’s no different than a consumer grade coating, some have instant flash time that’s it. I’d be fine if they sold it retail maybe without the warranty, most of the gloss you get is anyway from excellent machine work not the coating.

    My pleasure mate and it’s going to be significantly cheaper than having a good PPF applied well, probably a quarter of the price in general and - paint correct aside - much quicker to install by far. I think as most PPF jobs tend to be front ends, so DQuartz could be a fantastic way to add great protection to the rest of the vehicle as an add on service that makes it more affordable compared to applying PPF to an entire vehicle.

    Dear Sandro, I really appreciate how professionally & clearly you explain everything. Thank you! My white Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT will get a ceramic coating in two weeks. I am undecided wich option to chose: 2 x Finest Reserve or 1 x Dquartz + 1 x Finest Reserve What would you recommend? What I also wonder: Carpro states that Dquartz + Finest combined will last longer (2y + 3y). Does this refer to the entire functionality of the 2 layer coating or that after 3y, for example, the Finest Reserve is no longer functional as a top layer and then the Dquartz layer lasts an additional 2y with its specific functionality.

  • @CarCraftAutoDetailing

    From my own testing I believe DQ+FR will be a more durable option than 2 layers of Finest Reserve. I also believe that the extended warranty relies on 2 layers of DQ topped with 2 layers of FR and that it’s not really broken down into seperate warranties for each of the coatings but more so as a whole.

That is an incredible asset to those that have also had experience with the UK, as in it will help someone know what to expect. We thank you so much for this.

I have often got a slight white haze when buffing off at around the 4 to 5 minute mark. After watching this i did a quick test on my own vehicle at 2, 4 and 15 minutes, in Auckland today,. 2 minutes was a definate haze, 4 mins ok but still hazy, 15 minutes was much better with no haze and slicker to the touch. Is this to be expected? Or am i missing something. Weekend warrior.

    Thanks and I think if a longer flash time is rendering better results you should go with that. I don’t think that’s a given as far as timing goes or that waiting longer will always be better as there’s lot of environmental factors like temperature, humidity and even wind or a breeze as well as technique factors like the size of your section, the amount of coating on your applicator and how long you work it in that will all influence that result. So the best thing you can do is just adapt to all of that in the moment and let the results guide you.

    Hi Sandro! Great video. In your experience through the years with these coatings, do you think that Professional & Finest are actually benefited any in performance from a base layer of DQ (1x DQ & 1x Pro or Finest) rather than just doing a double layer of Pro or Finest?

    Thanks and yes. It’s only been about 5-6 months I’ve been using DQ so it can’t be conclusive, but I feel as though DQ better accepts and allows Pro or Finest to bond to it more effectively than they can over themselves- maybe it’s the tackier finish of DQ that plays a part in that being a slightly better primer/promoter than most other coatings. During testing I also found it to be the hardest coating to remove from my test panels by far, so it seems as though it will stick around longer - even after it’s behaviour has been diminished, and should help at least reduce wash swirls a little better than the rest.

Doing a car now with 2x Professional, but I will give DQ/Professional a go very soon! 1x DQ/1x Professional (or Finest) should be sufficient rather than 2x DQ/1x Professional (or Finest) correct?

    That’s great to hear mate! One layer of each is sufficient in experience and testing so far and should perform better than either Pro or Finest as two layers over themselves. But you can certainly do 2 layers of DQ topped with Pro or Finest - that could be an additional upgrade the customer can select for some increased wash swirl resistance and a touch more long term durability.

    @curtisbender1945 yes, although I’ve seen 2 layers of DQGO resist scratching better I just find it won’t resist chemical/environmental factors as much, and although 2 layers of UK will resist those factors and last longer, it doesn’t have the scratch resistance and even a little self healing that I’ve seen with DQGO. That’s why a combination tends to be optimal - as far as looks go they both look great so I don’t think that’s a factor.

    I have been seeing detailers using spray on coatings now days. Are you familiar with what they are using? I am not referring to the knock off aerosol cans, they are using what looks like air based paint guns and spraying the whole car. These do not seem like true ceramic coatings but I have not found actual brands from these detailers yet.

  • @CarCraftAutoDetailing

    Some detailers use air brushes/mini air guns for wheels and trims, perhaps even larger body panels with various ceramic coatings - I have tried this, but the coatings don’t self level so they still need to be wiped down and the paint or trim will only allow a certain thickness to bond to it so I felt like it was a waste of product, risky from a health perspective of breathing in the active particles and messy with over spray - in other words lots of cons and no real benefit from what I could see. But I know other detailers have different opinions to mine about it.

My advice is don’t put anything over the coatings for at least one month, but after that Reload is great to use.

    The current version of Evo is really formulated for single layer use as it does lay down quite thick - there can still be a slight benefit to layering but it won’t be as dramatic as laying for C/DQuartz coatings. If you have a bit left over and no use for it, I would still add a second layer maybe on a few panels to use it up. 3hrs would generally be a good time to layer Evo.
