First go - ceramic coating, experienced detailer

[DFB]

Thank you all for your input guys, I've got all the stuff now, a bit more correction perfection and I'll do my 1st ceramic coating.

Lots of knowledge and experience in your replies, much appreciated.

I can see that Mohs applicator doesn't look even on both sides - material vise. I take it both sides are fine, maybe I can use the other side when I doo my next car in a week time or so ?

Hey DFB - what do you mean by 'appropriate drying aid' ..!?

Cheers

I mean that in the sense of using a "ceramic" or Si02 type product so that you are topping/maintaining the coating at each wash. This would negate the need to do the 6 or 12 month maintenance topper like Cure/Reload/Jet ect.

You could of course use a quick detailer, say P&S Paint Gloss, but that won't be adding anything to "maintain" the coating. The only thing I would avoid would be a spray wax.

The side you want to use is the "fuzzy" side that looks like a MF towel. I'm not sure the smooth side would work well as an applicator.

Look into Armour Detail Supply Amplify. Stuff is slick and nice to work with.

Thanks! I'm always interested in finding/trying brands I've never heard of before. Slickness really isn't all that important to me, but how is the gloss and water behavior?

Thanks,
I take it Gyeon Q2M Ceramic Detailer (that I bought today) can be used for maintaining the coating at each wash!?

I would be doing the same.

Cquartz UK 3.0 has been around for a while now, I wonder if Carpro will have an update coming soon.

I feel like they have to with the emergence of Gyeon’s EVO line and the recent updates to G-Technic as well. They came out with that professional DQuartz but I remember Pan the Organizer mentioned they’re working on a consumer version. Guess we’ll see!

Just watched your video on a couple of thier products. Might have to try out this and spray sealant for myself. Thanks

I was expecting a revision shortly after their other coating went from TiO2 to SIC, but there hasn't been anything since. From what I remember, CQUK 2.0 wasn't on the market from more than a couple years before 3.0 hit. However, 3.0 has been around for a really long time at this point.

2017 to be exact. They’re due.
