This product is stellar for the protection it offers and the brilliant shine. Installation requires several things to be in order;First, wash car thoroughly with a good automotive shampoo.Second, decontaminate paint—use Iron by Car Pro to neutralize the embedded iron and other contaminants which are present in ALL car surfaces.Third, now is the time to get your color correct light and check painted surfaces for any imperfections. This is the time to correct your car’s paint with a dual action buffer and some kind of compound. If you have a lot of swirls, scratches, haze…you will need to compound your paint to rid it of imperfections:”But why Patrick I just want to put a ceramic coating on my car?”The ceramic coating will lock in your paint’s condition whatever that may be. Swirls, scuffs, haze, will all be evident under the ceramic coating. Ceramic coating will in no way correct your paint. Therefore, unless you want to display the imperfections in your paint for the next 12-24 months you will need to correct the paint.Fourth, after the paint is defect free, you will need to remove any residual polish, compound, oils, anything which might stand between your paint and the ceramic coating. Here you can use Carpro Eraser, Geyon Prep, or a solution of IPA and water. These will remove waxes, compounds, and anything else that may be on your paint after the correction stage.NOW, and only now, can we begin to consider applying the coating.Make sure your vehicle is out of the direct sun, preferably in the shade but away from possible contaminants like bugs, pollen, and dust. Consider a clean garage with good ventillation.Caution: you do not want to breathe the fumes from the coating as they can cause health problems. Apply coating in a well-ventilated area. If you do not have access to a well-ventilated area I suggest either a respirator or pollen/dust mask.Now that your car is clean and the paint is defect-free, and you are in a dry, well-ventillated area with no dust, bugs, or other contaminants, you can begin to apply the coating!I suggest using the included applicator bar with the enclosed applicator sheets. Open the bottle and dispense 4-5 drops of the fluid on your applicator. Start on the roof as it is usually level and free from crazy contours. Do a small section of roughly 3-4 feet by 3-4 feet. Wipe the coating in straight, overlapping lines, from left to right so that you have complete coverage horizontally. Then use a similar pattern going vertically over the same area. This way you are assured of having complete coverage with no holes. I suggest slow methodical movements until complete. Depending upon the temperature of the area you are working in, this will dictate how long you have to wipe the area of excess product before the coating begins to cure. A good rule of thumb is to begin wiping the treated area as soon as you finish application. This way you can’t go wrong. If you notice the surface is getting tacky as you wipe it, you have waited too long and will need to reapply coating on this area. Keep several short-weave micro-fiber towels on hand that you are ok throwing away as you will not be using them on your car at least ever again. Flip the towel often as you use it to wipe the treated area. Once the area is treated and wiped down, begin the next area.Check your work for dark spots which indicate you have too much coating applied. Once the entire car is treated, you will want to check for holes in coverage and dark spots. Apply more coating to the areas lacking and wipe down the dark spots. Now, I suggest you do not drive your car for the next 2 days. If you have no other choice, make sure you do not get the car wet at least for the first 24 hours. PERIOD, NON-Negotiable! If you do get the car wet, wipe any wetness down immediately before it ruins the curing process.After 48 hours you can take the car out for a spin but avoid contaminants. Personally, I let the coating cure for 4 days and did a second coat of product. After this coating, I waited 5 full days before I took the car out of the garage. The results were out-of-this-world!Here is another caveat: Once the ceramic coating is applied and fully cured, you are not done! Oh no, my friend, you have to take care of the coating for it to last. Do not think about washing the car for the first 7 days after treatment. When you do finally wash the car you must use a ceramic enhancer like Car Pro Reset Intensive Care shampoo which will not damage the coating. Next you will want to apply Reload and often to recharge the silica content of the ceramic coating. If you take good care of the coating it will last 12-24 months.Having this coating does not give you license to neglect your paint! If you do, the resulting imperfections from tree sap, pollen, bird poop, left to dry will be having to buff off the entire coating and start over!Highly recommended IF…….

So many auto detail guys try to make ceramic coatings way more complicated than they really are either so they can charge huge money for a professional application and/or publish click bate videos that imply you have to do it their way.Yeah you can, worst case, leave some streaks (so called “high spots”) on your paint if you use a crappy no-name Chinese product or completely ignore the directions with a decent product. But, with a really high quality product like Carpro Cquartz UK 3.0, you honestly have to work hard to screw it up beyond just needing an added wipe. It’s the most forgiving quality ceramic coating I’ve yet tried.There are multiple credible YouTube videos comparing and torture testing over time muliple coatings and all of them I’ve seen rate Cquartz as among the top few that survive the longest. That mirros my own experience.That said, Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Coating has also done really well in real world tests. Cquartz might last 24 to 36 months when properly applied and well cared for. While the Turtle Wax product is likely to last half as long but still impressive given it’s much lower price. But the Turtle Wax product is around one fourth the cost so you could apply itSome would lead you to believe you have to invest countless hours in a 7+ step prep for any ceramic coating but that really depends on your goal? If you consider your paint acceptable as-is go to your local CVS, buy a bottle of isopropyl alcohol for a few dollars, dump it into a spray bottle, add a couple drops of dish washing detergent, and you have essentially the same thing as Carpros Eraser at around one tenth the price.Wash your car well, dry it, apply the alcohol mix or other prep product, wipe it off with a microfiber towel, and you’re good to go if you’re happy with your paint. If you your paint has issues you want to correct do your best to fix them before the alcoholwipe down.

I’m here to give hopefully the realist review on Amazon. I waited over 3 years to see if this stuff actually worked. Tonight I washed it and applied the reload spray for the FIRST time. If you follow the directions, do the prep, take your time, and clean clean clean, this stuff is no joke the real deal. I use nothing special for washing either. I’ve done no major detail until today when I noticed water spots for the first time and even then the paint felt good enough to just do a good clay bar and hand wash.No machine work whatsoever since July 2019. Funny thing is, this is my buddies account but I’m leaving the review cause after I applied it to his car there was enough to do mine…. Is there better out there, absolutely. Is there better out there for the money, I’d argue there’s Not.

Did my 2014 truck with this stuff because the other ceramic product I got from Amazon did not last long, as it did not bead up water any longer than cheap wax’s. This is a classic ”Get what you pay for” lesson! This stuff has been on for about 8 months now and many wash’s and Salt here in midwest and Florida beach camping..Still shines and beads water like I put it on Yesterday! Just wish it was a bit less dough!
