Description
The CARPRO CQUARTZ UK 3.0 50ml kit is the coating most people mean when they type "cquartz" into Google — CarPro's flagship consumer ceramic coating, sized and packaged for coating your own vehicle at home. Built on 70% SiO2, it's the benchmark the rest of the DIY coating world gets measured against.
CQUARTZ UK 3.0: The Self-Cleaning Ceramic Coating
UK 3.0's calling card is the way a coated car stays cleaner between washes. The cured layer is intensely hydrophobic, so water carries road film off with it instead of leaving it bonded to your clear coat. CarPro has been refining this chemistry since Avi Moradi founded the company, and 3.0 is the current evolution of it. The official durability figure is 18–24 months of protection when the paint is prepped and maintained properly.
How to apply it
- Wash, then chemically decon — IronX for embedded iron, TarX for tar and sap.
- Polish the paint to the finish you want to live with for the life of the coating.
- Wipe every panel with Eraser so no polishing oils block the bond.
- Apply in a crosshatch pattern, then level per the kit instructions, panel by panel.
- Keep the car dry while the coating cures — the label spells out the timing.
Where the 50ml kit fits: this is the enthusiast's pick in the CQUARTZ family — a serious step up from the entry-level CQUARTZ Lite kit without going all the way to the installer-grade CQUARTZ SiC Pro. If slickness is your obsession, look at Gliss 2.0.
How long does CQUARTZ UK 3.0 last?
CarPro's official figure is 18–24 months. Real-world life depends on prep quality, sun exposure, and how the car gets washed.
What does "self-cleaning" actually mean?
Not that you never wash again — it means the hydrophobic surface releases dirt so easily that rain and rinse water do a meaningful share of the work.
Can a first-timer apply UK 3.0?
Absolutely, if you respect the prep. Read the directions twice, work out of direct sun, and level thoroughly. Our application guide walks through the whole process.

Pro Detailer Tips
Patch Test First
Before applying any new product to a full panel, test on a small hidden area first — especially on older paint, vinyl wraps, or exotic finishes.
Read the SDS Sheet
Every professional detailing product has a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Review it before first use to understand proper handling, dilution limits, and safety precautions.
Store Properly
Keep products in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Extreme heat or cold can degrade chemistry and shorten shelf life.
