"Light" vs "heavy" solvents
The product description for Cquartz Lite says that it is resistant to "light solvents". What are some examples? If a solvent qualifies as "heavy", can it be diluted down, rendering it "light"?

Re: "Light" vs "heavy" solvents
what kind of solvent are you thinking to put on top of cquartz lite?
Even on torture tests where they put stuff you ll never put on your paint , regular sealants are still holding there , something like cquartz lite should not have an issue holding against most solvents that you would use on your car.
Give us an example ...

What are some examples?
IMO: Solvent naphtha (petroleum)
light aromatic...is an example of a
light solvent—even says so in its name.

•Better questions, IMO, are:
-What is the definition of: “to dilute (down)”?
-Using its definition: Can solvents be diluted?
•Take water (the “universal solvent”)
as an example of a solvent:
-Can the solvent *water* be diluted?
{If so: diluted with/by what?}

Pretty sure the lightest solvent is water. Water based products make great toppers.

•I believe that, by density,
(ie. mass per volume):
-the solvent IPA weighs less than H2O.
~33.8 oz. of H2O weighs...2.205 lbs.
~33.8 oz. of IPA weighs....1.740 lbs.

It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Not really a solution for your dilemma,
but I have these T’s currently marked
down to $19.99 (all sizes).

I meant lightest as in less likely to remove or degrade an underlying product.

Water is a pretty strong/(heavy) solvent.
The Grand Canyon comes to mind.

Better quit washing your car before it erodes away.
