CarPro Cquartz UK Edition 3.0 50 ml.
Can't be shipped to Hawaii.
I may have to stick with sealant/wax?

Can't be shipped by who? Autogeek? Contact Corey of CarPro US. It looks like they ship to the Hawaii.

Is that an AutoGeek restriction? Not sure why it can't be shipped to Hawaii. It isn't like it's a aerosol can or other type of product which could explode in the cargo hold of a plane. I wonder if other places would ship it to you.

You won't need the 50mL bottle unless you're going to do multiple vehicles. I've easily done an average size car (BMW 3-series) with half a 30mL bottle and was able to do 1x Jaguar F-Pace AND a Porsche Cayenne with 50mL bottle with about 25% of the bottle left over. Granted this is all with 1 coat on those vehicles. I never do multiple coats.

It has something to do with the flammability of the product. There are a lot of things that don't ship to Hawaii, so we need to find other avenues to get certain items.

Yes Autogeek, I had it in my cart and this popped up Federal regulations prohibit the shipment of this products by air, UPS 3 Day, UPS 2, or US Mail. This item is shipped by UPS Ground only. Sorry but no APO or FPO addresses.

#30mL, thanks that was my next question

Getting my wife a 2021 Lexus RX 450H in atomic silver shortly to replace her 2011. I have always detailed our own vehicles and can't decide if I should use what I have or get into the coatings. I have used and liked the following products.
WGDGPS 3.0
Duragloss 601/105
Klasse twins
Collinite 845/476

She has good washing/drying techniques except for wheel wells and lower rockers which I do if I'm helping and I can't get her to stop washing in the sun!
Salt,sun, bird droppings etc. are always a constant. Car will be low mileage, garage kept. I stay on the occasional spray wax topper, usually Optimum once in awhile.
I don't have a lot of time for detailing but I do pretty well on maintenance.

Any advice is appreciated.

I would stick with WDGPS or Collinite 845. MP may a good case against using coatings. If you have any kind of daily driver schedule/drive it in rain, you will have road grime which will bond to your coating and need to be buffed out in a year at most, thereby negating the 2-3 yr. protection of the coatings.

Avgguy is correct---

Coatings are good for a year and then gotta do it again. Lots of work to do coatings.

Machine high def sealant only once a year and just before winter---BF spray sealant. Easy peachy and car looks as good as first day.

Kinda rethinking the coating as it's not going to see a lot of miles and will be garaged. If I had more time,maybe

I use 476 on my 03 pickup in my avatar and it really holds up.. It's outside 24/7, beach driven, not pampered and one of the vehicles my daughters and family friends use when they come to visit, so it takes a beating.

I am going to have to state that with the right maintenance a coating can get 2-3 years with little defects and no worry about road grime. Experienced this myself with cquartz coatings.

Don't let this turn you away from a coating. A coating will last forever on a vehicle that is garaged and not driven that much.
