Ceramic Coating Kits: CQUARTZ, DQUARTZ & Gyeon — Everything You Need to Coat Your Car

A ceramic coating kit gives you everything needed to protect your paint for years in one package — the coating itself, an applicator block, suede cloths, and often a prep spray and maintenance topper. Auto Care Genius carries genuine pro-grade DIY ceramic coating kits from CARPRO (the full CQUARTZ and DQUARTZ lineup) and Gyeon — the same coatings professional detailers trust, at authorized US dealer pricing.

Kits range from beginner-friendly options like CQUARTZ Lite and CQUARTZ UK 3.0 to advanced DQUARTZ nano-diamond coatings and Gyeon's flagship Q² Mohs EVO. Bundles with Reload 2.0 add a maintenance spray that extends durability between details. There are dedicated kits for glass, leather, and wheels too — so you can coat the whole car, not just the paint.

What Is a Ceramic Coating Kit?

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer (SiO₂ / SiC based) that chemically bonds to your clear coat and cures into a hard, glossy, hydrophobic layer — protection that lasts years instead of the weeks you get from wax. A kit packages the coating with everything required to apply it correctly. A typical kit includes:

  • The ceramic coating (SiO₂ / SiC) — a 30ml bottle typically coats one vehicle
  • Applicator block and suede coating cloths — for thin, even application
  • Often a prep spray and a maintenance topper such as CARPRO Reload 2.0 to boost gloss and extend the coating's life

Every kit here is genuine, fresh stock with authorized US dealer pricing and fast shipping — local pickup available in Kissimmee, FL.

How to Choose: Beginner, Enthusiast, or Pro-Level Kit

  • First coating ever: Start with CQUARTZ Lite 100ml — the most forgiving formula in the lineup, with a big 100ml bottle that leaves room for mistakes and second vehicles.
  • The all-around favorite: CQUARTZ UK 3.0 is CARPRO's do-it-all paint coating — pro-level gloss and self-cleaning behavior that's still very manageable for a careful first-timer. Grab the UK 3.0 kit with Reload 2.0 to get your maintenance topper in the same box, or step up to the 50ml kit with Reload for trucks, SUVs, or a second layer.
  • Maximum hardness & durability: Gyeon Q² Mohs EVO is the 9H flagship pros reach for, and it flashes fast for a quick, predictable wipe-off. The single-layer Q² Pure EVO keeps application simple, while Q² Syncro EVO pairs a base coat with a dedicated topcoat for Gyeon's top-tier finish.
  • Advanced nano-diamond tech: DQUARTZ GO 30ml (or the 50ml kit) is CARPRO's newest generation — nano-diamond chemistry for enthusiasts who want the cutting edge.

Beyond Paint: Glass, Leather & Top Coats

  • Windshield: CARPRO FlyBy30 makes rain bead and blow off at speed — the cheapest upgrade to wet-weather visibility.
  • All glass: DQUARTZ GForce Glass Coating brings the nano-diamond line to your windows and mirrors.
  • Leather seats & trim: CQUARTZ Leather 2.0 (also in a 50ml kit) guards against dye transfer, abrasion, and UV on coated leather.
  • Slickness top coat: CQUARTZ GLISS 2.0 (or the 50ml) layers over your base coating for extreme slickness and water behavior.

How to Apply a Ceramic Coating Kit (Step-by-Step)

  1. Wash thoroughly. Start with a two-bucket wash using a quality car wash soap. The coating bonds to paint, not dirt.
  2. Decontaminate. Use an iron remover and clay bar to strip bonded fallout the wash leaves behind. A coating locks in whatever is underneath it.
  3. Polish the paint. Machine polish with a DA polisher, pads, and a finishing polish. The prep is most of the work — a coating magnifies whatever finish you seal under it, swirls included.
  4. Panel-wipe to bare paint. Wipe down with the kit's prep spray (or a dedicated panel prep) to remove polishing oils so the coating can bond directly to the clear coat.
  5. Apply in a crosshatch pattern. Wrap the suede cloth around the applicator block, prime it with coating, and work one panel at a time in overlapping up-down and side-to-side passes.
  6. Watch the flash, then level. The coating "flashes" — CQUARTZ UK 3.0 shows a rainbow effect, Gyeon EVO coatings sweat and flash quickly — then gently buff the residue with clean suede or microfiber. Flash time varies with temperature and humidity, so follow the bottle's guidance.
  7. Layer if recommended. CARPRO recommends two coats of CQUARTZ for maximum durability; Gyeon EVO coatings are designed as a single layer. A 50ml kit gives headroom for a second coat or a larger vehicle.
  8. Cure, then maintain. Keep the car dry for the first day or two while the coating hardens, then maintain with pH-neutral soap and a topper like Reload 2.0 to keep the hydrophobics sharp.

Ceramic Coating Kit FAQ

How long does a DIY ceramic coating last?

Quality consumer coatings typically last 1–3 years on a daily driver — CQUARTZ UK 3.0 is generally good for 2–3 years, and harder pro-grade formulas like Gyeon Q² Mohs EVO aim beyond that. Real-world lifespan depends on prep quality, sun, and wash habits. Topping the coating with Reload 2.0 every few months meaningfully extends its life — that's why the UK 3.0 + Reload bundle is our most popular kit.

Is a DIY ceramic coating kit worth it vs. paying a professional?

For most owners, yes. A professional install runs several hundred to over a thousand dollars; a kit costs $40–$130 and — applied carefully — gets you most of the same protection and gloss. The trade-off is your time: the wash, decontamination, and polishing prep take far longer than the coating itself. If you enjoy detailing your own car, a kit is one of the best-value upgrades in car care.

Do I need to polish my car before applying a ceramic coating?

Yes, in almost every case. A coating is glass-clear and semi-permanent — it locks in whatever is under it, so swirls and haze get sealed in for years. At minimum do a full wash, iron decon, and clay; on anything but brand-new paint, add a machine polish with a DA polisher before the panel wipe.

How much coating do I need — is 30ml enough for my car?

A 30ml bottle typically coats one vehicle in a single layer. Choose a 50ml kit — like the CQUARTZ UK 3.0 50ml, Mohs EVO 50ml, or DQUARTZ GO 50ml — if you drive a truck or SUV, plan on two coats, or want leftover for a second vehicle.

How many coats should I apply?

It depends on the brand. CARPRO recommends two coats of CQUARTZ for the best durability (one still works well). Gyeon EVO coatings are engineered as a single layer — Q² Pure EVO and Mohs EVO go on once, while Q² Syncro EVO uses a base coat plus a dedicated topcoat for the flagship finish.

How do I wash and maintain a ceramic-coated car?

Stick to a pH-neutral car wash soap, avoid automatic brush washes, and dry with a plush microfiber towel. Every few months, apply a silica topper like Reload 2.0 after a wash to refresh the water beading. Skip waxes over the coating — they mask the coating's self-cleaning behavior instead of helping it.
