CQUARTZ Lite 2.0 — Easiest Ceramic Coating to Apply
CQUARTZ Lite 2.0 is the easiest coating in the CARPRO line to apply, making it ideal for first-time users or anyone who wants ceramic-level protection without the commitment of a full install. Lite 2.0 delivers around 1 year of hydrophobic protection with a wipe-on, wipe-off application that's virtually impossible to high-spot.
CQUARTZ Gliss 2.0 — Hyper-Slick Top Coat
CQUARTZ Gliss 2.0 is a sacrificial top coat that layers over any CQUARTZ base coating. Gliss adds extreme slickness, boosts self-cleaning behavior, and extends overall coating life — the finishing touch pros use for that glass-smooth feel.
CQUARTZ DLUX — Trim & Wheel Coating
CQUARTZ DLUX is the dedicated coating for plastic trim, unpainted exterior plastics, and wheels. DLUX restores factory-black trim color, prevents fading and oxidation, and bonds to wheel faces for 1+ year of brake-dust-resistant protection. A must-have pairing with any paint coating.
CQUARTZ DLight — Glass & Windshield Coating
CQUARTZ DLight is the dedicated windshield and glass coating that improves wet-weather visibility, repels rain, and makes bug and road grime clean-up effortless. Lasts 6+ months per application.
CQUARTZ Leather 2.0 & Fabric 2.0 — Interior Coatings
CQUARTZ Leather 2.0 bonds to leather seats, door panels, and steering wheels to prevent dye transfer, UV fading, and wear while preserving natural feel. CQUARTZ Fabric 2.0 coats fabric seats, carpets, and convertible tops with a hydrophobic, stain-resistant barrier.
How To Apply CQUARTZ Ceramic Coating
A proper CQUARTZ install follows the same core steps regardless of which coating you choose:
- Wash with CARPRO Reset to strip contamination
- Decontaminate with IronX and a clay bar or PolyShave decon towel
- Polish with ClearCut, Essence, or Reflect to remove paint defects
- Panel prep with CARPRO Eraser to remove polishing oils
- Apply CQUARTZ in small sections with the included applicator
- Level with a plush microfiber after the proper flash time
- Cure in dry conditions for 24+ hours before water exposure
CQUARTZ Maintenance Products
Coating maintenance is what separates a coating that looks great for 6 months from one that lasts the full rated durability. Pair any CQUARTZ base coating with:
- Reload 2.0 — Si02 spray sealant refresher, every 2–3 months
- EliXir — ceramic detailer with gloss-boost polymers
- HydrO2 — water-activated touch-less protection
- Reset — pH-neutral wash soap for every maintenance wash
CQUARTZ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does CQUARTZ ceramic coating last?
It depends on the coating. CQUARTZ Lite 2.0 lasts around 1 year, UK 3.0 lasts 2+ years, and Finest Reserve lasts 3+ years. Real-world durability is affected by climate, wash habits, and whether you use proper maintenance products like Reload 2.0.
Can I apply CQUARTZ myself?
Yes. CQUARTZ UK 3.0 and Lite 2.0 are designed specifically for DIY application in a garage or shaded area. Every DIY-friendly kit includes full instructions and the applicator pads needed for a successful install. CQUARTZ Finest Reserve is installer-only and not sold to consumers.
Does CQUARTZ work on matte paint?
Yes — but only CQUARTZ Matte, CARPRO's dedicated matte finish coating. It preserves the flat look while adding hydrophobic protection. Do not apply glossy CQUARTZ coatings to matte paint — they will make it shiny.
Is CQUARTZ worth it over regular wax or sealant?
For anyone who values protection over 6+ months, absolutely. CQUARTZ delivers 1–3+ years of UV, chemical, and water spot protection with hydrophobic behavior that traditional carnauba wax simply can't match. It also dramatically reduces wash time since contamination doesn't bond to the coated surface.
Do I need to polish my paint before applying CQUARTZ?
For best results, yes. CQUARTZ locks in whatever is underneath, so any swirls, scratches, or haze will be sealed in permanently. A light one-step polish with CARPRO Essence is the minimum we recommend — it removes light defects and leaves a clean surface for coating.
How soon after applying CQUARTZ can I wash my car?
Wait at least 7 days before washing or exposing to heavy rain. Avoid touchless car washes, snow foam, and high-pH wash chemicals for the first 2 weeks while the coating fully cures.
