The Guz

I purchased this during one of the christmas sales on Autogeek and used it today on my 2002 Camaro SS. I don't drive this car to often but I shall see what kind of durability I get with it.

Directions
What's included in the package
The coating is sealed as well.
Expiration date on the bottom of the bottle
Prior to the coating application, I cleaned the leather seats with Meguiar's D181 and a brush. I followed up with a damp microfiber per the directions.
Before shot of the lower bolster cleaned up using D181 and wiped down with a damp microfiber.
After shot of the lower bolster shot with Cquartz leather coating. It has a slight darkening effect. It was a bit difficult to capture the slight darkening with the camera. I didn't take too many photos.
I referenced this video for the coating application
Thoughts:
Cquartz leather coating has a slight darkening effect. It leaves a matte finish on the leather surface once it dries.
When applying it almost feels and looks like there is no product being applied to the leather surface due to the darkening effect not being too noticeable. I even thought I was not applying enough to the applicator. It also appears as if it is streaking. But that goes away once it is buffed off to remove any remaining high spots. It had a little bit of a learning curve but after one seat I was able to figure out how to use it.
The leather had a nice feeling once it dried after about 10-15 min.
It will be hard to judge the durability of it on this car since I don't drive it daily . But the upside is all I need to do is use a damp applicator to maintain the surface.
A little product when a long way. I used 4 applicators. One for each seat (2 front + 2 rear). I will be using this on my daily driver as well the next time I detail the interior.
Overall a great product that leaves the surface looking and feeling great. Hopefully it is added to the Autopia store.
