First go - ceramic coating, experienced detailer

**Danube** · 05-21-2023, 08:34 AM

After many years of using traditional wax (mostly 845) I decided to do my wife's Lancer with ceramic coating.

My Q is: what ceramic coating you suggest for novice ?

- Something that may be a bit forgivable, easier to use ?

The paint correction process is almost completed (boot left only), time to think about the coating.

CanCoat Evo! Easy and great looking. Second recommendation would be CQuartz UK 3.0.

I highly recommend Gyeon MOHS EVO. Very simple to install,,,,excellent gloss and slickness. Brian from FAB Automotive detailing does a great video review of it, and Status Detailing does a couple of reviews of it as well.

Are you looking for a multi year coating (3, 5) or something less (1, 2) to decide if a coating is right for you?

Is slickness important to you?

CanCoat is a good gateway option to get into coatings.

Likely multi year coating and of course slickness is important.

Here in Ozz we have CQuartz (not UK), the dealer suggests the following:

Note: CQuartz is a slower cure compared to its similar brother CQuartz UK. The coatings themselves are virtually identical, however their curing times differ as UK is a faster cure, and CQuartz is slower.

Gyeon MOHS is slick. Or Carpro SIC.

Cquartz the original has long been discontinued.. Do you mean cquartz lite? Lite would cure faster than UK but neither are slick.

Its full name is CarPro CQuartz SiC

Carpro SIC is supposedly a bit tricky. You have to wait a relatively long time before wipeoff.

A lot of pros are actually topping UK with SIC for a 2 layer system.
