Dry carbon trim - C quartz Fabric

I just wanted to share this tip, I used Cquartz Fabric on matts and Alcántara fabrics, I also sprayed on the the exposed dry carbon fiber trim and I couldn't be happier with the results.

The dry carbon fiber looks way better, it has a small sheen and looks super clean.

I took this pictures at night, but I will take more tomorrow morning.

I hope this helps.

Ps make sure you use gloves as my bottle was dripping from the nozzle.

Thanks for the tip.
I have a wheels-off CQuartz Professional ceramic coating on the M2.
Have you tried their Leather product?

How does it compare to using baby wipes? Aside from the price differential...

Way different! Lol
I'm always super careful with the way I clean the trim, the issue it always but looked dry and pale.

Now it pops up and looks way better, I'm so surprised about the outcome.

How much effort did it take to get good coverage, given the non-smooth surface?

I just did this myself, still high from the fumes of CQuartz Fabric. Definitely need good ventilation.

I sprayed a bit from the bottle onto a sponge and applied that way with a wet wipe style deal ready to grab anything I overshot.

The difference is really night and day, the dry weave went from looking a kind of ashy gray to having a depth closer to real carbon fiber parts. Definitely worth the time/money investment.
