CQuartz Professional has developed a reputation as the highest gloss coating available!  It is important to note that proper depth and gloss is achieved with proper correction and polishing by an experience detailer with a passion for what they do.  Fortunately we do not license detailers unless they are highly trained in EXACTLY these skills.  After they have invested countless hours in their craft, it is only fitting to both protect their work long term and add the enhanced layers of gloss CQuartz coatings achieve!

They come in all shapes and sizes.  Many are highly acidic and can wreak havoc on your paint!  They impact the front of your vehicle at high speed and as their body’s explode the acidic contents spills out onto your paint.  Within minutes it can eat through a layer of traditional wax before it dries and bonds hard to the surface in the heat of the sun.  If the bug is highly acidic it will begin the process of etching into your clearcoat in a matter of hours.  Each time it is exposed to moisture more acids are released and eventually you have permanent damage to your paint. With 3µm of CQ Professional between the bugs and your paint they can no longer cause permanent damage to your paint.  To start with the coating is resistant to acids and its rare any mark will be left on the coating with reasonable washing schedules.  In the rare case a bug does leave something behind you can be rest assured your paint is still safe beneath the coating.

As we touched on previously: dust, dirt, and contaminants do not bond to your CQuartz Professional barrier in the way they do to paint with only a coat of wax or sealant applied.  Any dirt or dust that does attach to the coating is MUCH more easily removed upon the next wash without having to scrub or clay the vehicle. CQuartz Professional coatings offer dirt and water shedding abilities beyond that of any other products on the market.   With the self-cleaning affect provided by CQuartz Professional, most dirt slides right off during a wash.

Waxes and sealants obviously offer no swirl resistance.  When you wash, dry, or touch your paint at any time you have the potential to scratch the surface.  The scratches we are talking about here are very fine and referred to as “swirls” but as they build up the level of gloss you see as reflections and depth to your paint withers.  These swirls refract light away from your eyes which is one of the causes of a dulled appearance to your paint over time. CQuartz Professional has been proven to assist in resistance of these fine swirls when properly maintained and cared for.  It should be noted that no coating is swirl proof and it is important to use only high quality wash mitts and drying towels or a blower. We highly recommend allowing your Authorized CQuartz Professional Installer to either maintain your vehicle or train you in proper wash techniques and provide access for purchase of the incredibly soft and plush CarPro Merino Wool Wash Mitt.

Unlike other coatings, CQuartz Professional coatings cannot be purchased on the open market and are installed by only CarPro Authorized Installers who have honed their skills so they may polish your paint to the highest level before protecting it with CQuartz Professional.  

The most dangerous enemy your paint will likely see in its life is bird droppings.  They can vary in level of toxicity but it is well known by professionals that a bird dropping can dissolve wax on contact, eat deep into paint, and leave an etching within minutes.  With CQuartz Professional you have a barrier which resists bird droppings and allows you time to discover and remove them so they cannot cause permanent damage to your paint.

Anybody that has just waxed their car will tell you – within a couple hours they can see the dust building up on it and after a drive that dust is still there.  It doesn’t blow off and it does accumulate on the carnauba wax layer.  Polymer sealants are a little better and stay cleaner than waxes however they too allow dirt and dust to stick to them.  Compared to wax, dust and dirt retention is lowered up to 80% with CQuartz Professional.  Of course some will gather and collect over time but you will enjoy the beauty of your vehicle between washes when protected by CQuartz Professional where as with other products the paint will look dirty faster. In the air around us and on the highways, all sorts of contaminants attack your paint.  Iron particles coming off the brakes of other vehicles can lodge into your paint and allow moisture to penetrate around them.  Over time the oxidation process from moisture and sun break down around these iron particles and eat microscopic holes into your paint. CQuartz Professional puts an end to this with a thick barrier that does not allow these contaminants to reach the paint surface and are removed much more easily.

Your CQuartz Professional Installer has been trained to use only high quality professional products on your vehicle.  They start with a high level auto wash followed by an intensive 2-3 step decontamination process to remove all bonded contaminants from above and beneath the surface of the paint. Following the “decon” process the paint is further analyzed and the best combinations of high tech pads and polishes are tested to produce the highest gloss possible.  This may include polishing the entire vehicle 2 and sometimes 3 times to reach this level. After the paint is perfected all the polishing oils are stripped from the vehicle with the use of CarPro Eraser.  This step is essential so that CQuartz Professional will fully bond with the paint.  When the paint is determined to be 100% oil free, 2 thick layers of CQuartz Professional are applied. Additional services including coating of interior, glass, convertible top, plastic trim, brightwork, and wheel coating are also offered by our installers.  Some of these items may be included in your CQuartz Professional package or may be offered a la carte.  Ask your licensed CQuartz Professional installer for more details when you arrive for your free quote!
