which coating is best for the first time using one?

**miad** · 10-21-2014, 09:26 PM

have never used a coating before but would like to try to start upselling it. very small, nearly nonexistent market for it here, but think I need to have some on hand in case. what brand should I get for starting out. probably wont be able to keep vehicles overnight, so is there anything out there that doesn't have to cure? how do I use this new Gloss Coat? I really don't know much about coatings at all. aware me.

DP Paint coating seems to have good reviews

**miad** · 10-21-2014, 10:14 PM

they all have good reviews, I just wonder which one is better for a beginner. maybe it doesn't matter. most of my concern is how to use them. do they have to cure for hours? do you wipe them off or just rub them in and leave them? they are just very new to me. need advice.

CQuartz is extremely easy to use.

just watched that. thinking it might be my choice. probably cant go wrong with any of them, just thought maybe one was more "beginner friendly".

Having used the new Optimum Gloss-Coat, I don't think you'll find an easier coating to apply. This stuff is just as easy to apply as Opti-Seal, if not easier.

It doesn't get any easier than Cquartz, and the results are outstanding!

Here's a few pictures of it doing its thing 18 months (post #1) and 2 years (post #3) after application...

While I don't dispute that Cquarts is a fantastic product, I've seen numerous complaints throughout various message forums about the application process.

I don't have any vested interest in any of them, but based on my research, Cquartz wouldn't win a contest for the most user-friendly application.

Hmmm, I don't know of a coating that could be any easier than CQ "Original". Simply apply it, wait at least 45 minutes and wipe it off. I've waited as long as 2 hours and it still wiped it off effortlessly. Now if you are referring to CQ UK or Finest, then I will say it does take a little bit more effort, and one must pay closer attention. However, most people don’t have an issue if they pay attention during application/removal, and follow the directions and tips provided by CarPro-US.

I have used many different coatings from many different manufacturers, and I can tell you in all honesty IMHO none apply and remove easier than CQ "Original" and the results are incredible.

Do you mind if I ask if you have ever used CQ "Original" yourself?
