Cquartz UK is terrible
Not happy at all with this coating. The paint looks dull after a wash and it doesn't 'keep it clean' longer or dirt washes off easier etc. as claimed. The difference between my front end which is covered in Xpel and actually looks glossy compared to the middle and rear panels of my car that just have the Cquartz is night and day.
Thought I would share and help anyone out there deciding between coatings. If it's cquartz vs. opti coat, nanolex etc. Get the other one. |

I applied it to my Xpel Ultimate, and the bare painted sections of my car. Works great for me. I finished it off with Reload.
Wasn't terribly hard to apply in a garage, just time consuming. |

Maybe the guy applying it was terrible and not the product.

Maybe his product deteriorated? I know that once open it should be used within a certain period of time. If he coat cars frequently enough then that shouldn't be the problem.

What was the environment like? Was it cold when he applied it or hot and humid? As stated, UK was meant to be used in colder climates to help with the flashing. Under normal circumstances, weather that is, Classic would be a better alternative to UK.
I would make sure that all the prep was done properly, i.e. Polishing and complete wipe down with some type of oil remover prior to laying the coating down. Bruce |

You get what you pay for! CQuartz is a fantastic product so please do not badmouth a product when the installer did a halfarsed job and didn't follow the manufacturers recommendations for prep work! It's actually more important to find the right detailer than it is product!

The installer prep is the critical part for any paint or film treatment.
