Re: Is it fine to use Rinseless wash on Cquartz coating?
andy from Carpro himself says it's not. thats the reason they haven't made a rinseless wash themselves. rinseless washes and especially ONR use surfactants to remove the dirt and leave behind sime polymers for enhanced gloss. these interfere with the beading and sheeting properties from the coating.

Where can we get more specifics about what Andy said? Can't seem to find a way to contact him directly and would certainly like to know if his comments are in a forum somewhere.
As somebody who's car is coated and who also loves products like UWW+, I'd love to learn more about this.
this is a thread where is asked if they had plans to make their own rinseless / waterless product

for now, no plan for rinseless / touchless wash.
im old school guy, i believe in water for good cleaning.
these type of products use massive amounts of surfactants that covers mostly the car surface rather than good cleaning it.
Pretty ignorant of them. Not everyone has the ability to do a rinse wash in their neighborhood (and there are zero DIY washing places around here). I haven't seen anyone have problems doing a rinseless with OptiCoat, seems that will be the right choice to make over cQuartz.
Re: Is it fine to use Rinseless wash on Cquartz coating?
I have used ONR & UWWP on CQ protected cars with not problems. I just redid a 2.5 year old CQ application with CQUK.
I have talked with Avi@CarPro and their view is that you need proper amounts of water to wash a car safely. I do understand and agree. If they would make rinseless wash and people used it and marred a car; they would hold CarPro responsible. So IMO it is more about providing the best product options for taking care of your car, not all of them.
