I believe Mike P was referring to the forced rotation orbit stroke. He preferred the 8mm Flex 3401 over the Rupes Mille, and whatever that Makita was called.

I believe you are correct as i was just reading an article of his recently that contained that info

DQUartz

World’s first nano-diamond-infused ceramic coating.In the pursuit of perfection, we have developed a truly innovative formula based on a siloxane nano-diamond fusion and a proprietary silicon resin, which make DQUARTZ the first ever coating to offer mechanical resistance to swirls and scratches. Car paints are getting increasingly softer and we have finally developed a technology to combat it. DQUARTZ is the first ever ceramic coating, which utilises Functionalised Detonation Nano Diamond Powder to increase surface pencil hardness by up to 5 points! The pencil test is a common method to measure the hardness of paints or coatings. Essentially it checks which standardised graphite (1H, HB, 1B, 2B, etc.) will be hard enough to scratch the surface. As always, we steer clear of the popular, yet physically impossible claims of extreme Mohs scale hardness, and giving you the real facts. If your paint has a rating of 1B, DQUARTZ will push it up 5 levels, going as high as 3H. Looking for ‘ground breaking.

This incredible new technology is enabled by the carefully controlled size and spherical shape of our nano diamond particles in combination with their activated surface structures. This allows the diamonds to electrostatically bind to the other ingredients of the coating, as well as the surface itself. In essence, DQUARTZ isn’t just a regular ceramic coating with a cool additive known for hardness.

DQUARTZ can be used as a standalone coating for automotive paint and will produce the same results when used on metals. Beyond the hardness improvements, it packs strong chemical and environmental resistances, as well as our greatest pride and joy – slickness and self-cleaning. Nevertheless, during testing we have found DQUARTZ to truly excel as a base coating topped with CQUARTZ Professional, which increases hardness by an extra point on the pencil scale and brings CQ Professional’s unrivalled performance into the mix. For now, DQUARTZ is available exclusively to certified installers, but we are working on a consumer-grade version. So stay tuned.

nano-diamonds?

So Graphene is dead and now we're on to diamonds!

[CleanIT]

Yeah it’s ridiculous. Will likely perform and fail like every other coating on the market but will be touted as the next great thing.

It is an authorized installer only coating. So don't get to excited just yet. Nano Diamonds is not new. Diamond Protech released their coatings recently. I will tell you what, they are more hydrophobic that a cquartz or gyeon.

Not quite. McKee's has a pro version and 3D has theirs.

Sure with improper care like most things. Or it will surpass what is currently out there. Time will tell.

McKee's 37 is slapping that Graphene label on everything. I really like their products but soon they'll be like Chemical Guys, selling a handful of products with different labels but all doing the same thing.

For sure.

They released a new gentle wheel cleaner. Just use soap then LOL. Good god....

I'm not sure about that. CarPro seems very serious about their offerings, especially when it comes to ceramic coatings.
