    Re: Product Review: CQuartz Ceramic Quartz Paint Protection

    Thanks for a great review and updates Troy!
    I just ordered a FRS Monogram (black of course) and have been really leaning towards putting a coating on it when I get it. This review has really pushed me closer to going with CQ. The hard part of this decision is what to do with this tub of Fuzion!

    I learned one thing when I put mine on...choose small application areas and then wipe...like a 2 x 2 area...

    Troy, quick question. When you mixed the IPA/Dawn 9:1, what was the percentage of the IPA you used to mix?

    I am not sure to be honest. At the time of this original review CarPro didn`t have Eraser. Now that it is out I have fully switched over to Eraser. And I make that suggestion to everyone want to do a coating especially CQ. I have added some extra IPA to my Eraser at times just to boost the cleaning and stripping. When doing that I do usually 4:1 or 5:1 Eraser:IPA.

    Thanks Troy! Guess I was just hoping there was an alternative to the $15 a bottle of Eraser which is just mostly IPA and water.

    So when you add IPA to the Eraser, is that straight 70% IPA?

    Troy what are your thoughts on CQ`s ability to reduce marring?

    If you use and trust IPA mixtures then go for it. It should be no problem and as you can see by my testing it worked great. I just switched to Eraser because it was the product made by CarPro to do the job properly.

    Yes, I just added the 70% straight. But this is only for extreme cleaning circumstances. I have done it, but I suggest doing so at your own risk. I needed to due to using some M205 that is super oily that I need to make sure was removed.

    Let me start by saying I have experience with OC Pro, CQ, CQUK, Wolfs HB as far as coatings go.

    When it come to marring resistance CQ did very good for me. But with that said all of the coatings I have used will mar if you use poor washing techniques. The "hardness" of the coating does help some, but the real attribute that helps reduce the marring IMO is how they release / shed dirt and water. The slickness and how they release dirt is so much more important as the less dirt you have to wash off after rinsing the safer you will be.

    Also using a concentrated lubricated soap and quality wash tool will do wonders as well. When I used the CQ I immediately bought the CarPro wool wash mitt. This was IMO one of the best choices I made. After soaking it prior to use (it is a skin that should be softened by soaking prior to use) it was super soft and gentle, yet was able to clean properly. After use and letting it dry using a pet brush to "brush" it only took a few minutes but is well worth it to make sure the hair is straight and clean of all debris.

    Thanks Troy!! I`ve been using the CarPro mitt for about a year now and have seen a big improvement in the lack of marring on my wife`s black Golf. I need to pick up one of the little ones though. Use a dog brush from the Dollar Store for grooming the brush after it`s dry.
