Product Review: CarPro Dlux


**4 Month Update**



It has been 4 months since I applied Dlux to the mirror and trim on the test vehicle. I thought it would be a good time to do an update on this test.

So as you can see. at this point Dlux looks & acts just like I applied it yesterday. I will let this test go through the winter just to see how long it goes before I need to re-apply. At this point I can say, so far I am impressed.
 
Thanks for the update. I have not used Carpro. Solution Finish actually is working fairly well for me now. It seemed to diminish somewhat but stabilized so it has not return to pre-condition state.
 
Excellent review!

If rain gets on the treated surface within 24 hrs, can Reload be used to remove the water, or would some other QD be better? If a QD is preferred to remove the water spots, should I go with a QD with no protection like Megs #34?

Al, I have wondered about SF. But I held off when it first cam out because it seemed to be "to good to be true".

Thanks.

If it rains you should just dry it off before the water dries and creates any water spots. You can use ReLoad on top of Dlux. I have on a another vehicle but not on my test subject.
 

**7 Month Update**

I just wanted to give a little update on the status of my CarPro Dlux. I’ll let the video do the talking.

I see you prepped with water spot remover and APC, did you happen to follow with IPA or Eraser?

I used 2 applications of Eraser. The first I let sit for a little extra time and then I dod a second application to make sure everything was clean and free of oils and such.
 

**1 Year Update**


It has been almost exactly 1 year since I applied Dlux to the truck in this test & review. I wanted to do a full followup on it to show how it has held up and my thoughts are on this product now. In my video I start with how the product currently looks and give my thoughts. I then move on to a full cleaning with CG water spot remover and Eraser to show how it reacts and what it then looks like. Finally I reapply Dlux to the trim to give a new 50/50. My goal hear it to show how much better the trim look and is even after scrubbing Dlux "off".

Hopefully this review has been informative and helpful. Thanks for looking.
 
CQuartz DLX is Junk! Ha Ha, fooled you all! LOL

Just ordered my second bottle, here from Utopia, and my only disappointment with DLX, is I wish I could get it by the gallon. I'd probably coat my house with it! :-)

I'm thinking of maybe saving a bit of this coming bottle, and coating my VPI Turntable with it?

I have considered using Dlux to coat my polishers... :cool:

I can see a value of the use of some of these high tech coatings from the various manufacturers on things other than vehicles. But I'm not sure which coatings would work best in any application, and there may be a need of experimentation on finishes such as Guitars, Wooden, or Synthetic Gun Stocks, Audio Equipment, etc.

I imagine the best course of action would be to test such products in a small inconspicuous area first. Mark
