    Thank you! I will follow your advice. I need to find a way to buy CQuartz Finest or Opti-Coat.. it looks like it's possible to get it only at professional detailers here in Canada and pay for labor. I wanna try DIY.
    If you have an idea where I can purchase it via internet, that would be great! Thank you!

    I used CQuartz UK on my new car a month or so ago and its been great. You just have to apply it correctly or else you get high spots. But its also supposed to help protect against minor scratches which is why I bought it and its not to expensive. Top it off with Reload and its a very good product.
    awesome! where did you buy it from? any links? thanks!

    Correct, you cannot get CQuartz Finest or Opti-Coat - they are only available to professional installers. You must chose one of the consumer grade products like CQuartz Classic, CQuartz UK, or Optimum Gloss Coat.

    If you're from Toronto, this retailer is Canadian and sells CQuartz UK. I'm not sure if I can post the link...actually, I'm gonna PM you it and he's close to you.

    Refer to my post in that thread by clicking here.

    As we have already discussed shortly in this thread, hydrophobic properties are not an indication that the coating has failed. Water beading simply indicates high surface tension. Surface tension may be altered by any number of things which would then cause the water beading properties to change. Over time, as the vehicle is exposed to the elements and contamination, it is almost guaranteed that the water beading will diminish and eventually stop all together. Again, refer to my previous comments about polishing and recoating every 2-3 years.
