Hi Guys

Thought of showing you some follow up we are doing on a car which coated 12 months ago with cquartz

back than this lovely car was detailed in Taiwan and coated with Cquartz:

and this is now.. 12 months passed...
car was applied only once with Reload during the past months,
no wax used, no sealants, washed regularly by hand, and now has some light swirls on it.
but as you will see cquartz still perform very strongly.

My comment is a question: what the heck kind of crazy buffer is that guy on the left using?

It looks like a Makita drill that has a polisher attachment.......

Could be, just seems like an awfully large drill motor and I don't see a chuck on it....

Its not a drill,
its the eastern way of polishing machine, lighter, more flexible , lower power.

These are available stateside. The price isn't bad. I think most U.S. Detailers have determined that a bit more power is the way to go.

Only 7.9A... yeah that does seem a bit weak compared to the rotaries we use more commonly.

That seems like it would take some getting use to. Having a long tail on the rotary helps offset the rotation for balance. It seem like it would "edge" very easily too. Mainly because we are all used to a longer body. I could see with low profile vehicles this also being a clearance issue when doing vehicles that round down when finishing low.
It could be nice for headlights and other areas like interior carbon fiber.

Plan on going all Carpro on my other car (blue 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT) next week. IronX Gel, Fixer, Eraser and Cquartz. Will even spray So2Pure and Fog Fighter inside.

Hoping for similar results.

Hi Avi,

CQuartz is an impressive product and now that some of the long term data is starting to filter in it's even more impressive! :bigups

Thanks for posting the results....:bigups

I am currently about 6+ months into my testing of CQuartz. It was applied to my wife's car.

Avi, when you mentioned the BMW has some light swirls would you consider these swirls to be in the paint or in the actual coating itself?

 

[CEE DOG]

Looking good Avi! I have 9 months now on a test vehicle that's outside 24-7 and it still sheets and beads like a maniac.

In the clearcoat(paint) , cquartz is too thin to protect swirls from passing
but there are much less swirls than no coat at all.
