CarPro C.Quartz: Ceramic Quartz is the next generation protective coating for painted surfaces, glass and wheels. Cquartz offers an extremely durable hard glass coat (with a high-gloss shine), which protects auto finishes for up to two years. Protection against minor scratches, swirl marks, acid rain, bird droppings and harmful UV rays.

This is not a sealer which forms a sacrificial shield of protection (e.g. wax). Instead, it is a modification of the surface chemistry at the molecular level, to provide a permanent (easy-to-clean) protective surface. Cquartz contains ceramic nano particles, which form an ultra hard layer of protection, with a superior anti-scratch effect than conventional coatings. High adhesion to the treated surface and long term durability.

Cquartz (with Hydrophobic effect) works by repelling water and preventing the adherence of contaminants. At microscopic level, automotive paintwork has peaks and valleys, so dirt and grime builds up relatively quickly. Cquartz (having sealed paint pores and smoothened the surface) allows dirt to wash off more easily, providing a clean surface and with less propensity for water marks. This unique coating has Anti-Calcium Effect ... with most sealants dried water spots penetrate the coating, making removal far more difficult.

The ceramic quartz coating is long lasting and UV stable. It cannot be removed by water, alkaline or other detergents, nor using high pressure washing equipment. The Cquartz treated surface is guaranteed to keep its original clarity and transparency. Cquartz can be applied to any surface: paintwork, glass, wheels, plastics and rubber trim.

Note: Before CQuartz can be applied, a vehicle needs to have all painted surfaces cleaned (dewaxed, decontaminated) and polished to a very high standard (using silicone-free polishes only). Polishing oils should also be removed by wiping down surface with CarPro Eraser (intensive oil and polish residue remover), before the application of CQuartz. (Alternatively, pre-clean / wipe down with a mix of 90% IPA + 10% CarPro IronX Soap Gel, then pressure rinse and fully dry treated surfaces). The product must not be applied on surfaces contaminated with silicone, oil, polymer or wax. Only apply CQuartz in a cool, dry environment with good lighting and ventilation. Never apply in direct sunlight or when the surface is hot to the touch. Apply CQuartz in straight line strokes (not circular motions), with a criss-cross pattern for evener coverage on panels.

Important: During the first ten minutes, any areas which are missed or not coated can be treated. But only during this timeframe. Do not attempt to re-fill missing spots at a later stage, otherwise it will mark paintwork.

Post Application: Wait 30~45 minutes (dependent on temperature, humidity, thickness of layer etc) for haze to form and then gently wipe off residue with soft (short-loop) microfibre cloths. Avoid re-using these cloths in future as they will harden and crystallise. Allow the coating to dry for between one hour (25 Degrees C) or three hours (15 Degrees C). The curing process may also be accelerated by using IR lighting. We strongly recommend applying two coats of CQuartz. This will increase coating thickness, surface hardness (scratch-resistance) and overall durability. Please allow sufficient time for the first coating to cure.

After Care: Avoid washing the vehicle with any soap for the first week following application. Rinsing down with water is fine. When washing use a high quality car wash shampoo without wax (or CarPro IronX Soap Gel) and a soft wash mitt. Avoid using filling station or automatic car washes (hand wash only using the two bucket method). Always remove bird droppings from paintwork as soon as possible. If left untreated for several days, they can etch the coating. Use CarPro ReLoad Sealant Spray periodically to maintain the coating - boost gloss levels, slickness and water repellency or as a drying aid after washing.
