Cquartz Finest or Modesta Bc-05
Going to get my car coated this week and was offered quartz finest or bc-05, anybody have any recommendations or reviews, car is flat red, no metallic, looking for deep shine and durability.

I'd go with CQuartz. Their claimed length of durability is honest and respectable. Modesta claims 3-10 years which seems a bit vague and far fetched.

+1. I also called a distributor for this product and it's reallllyyy expensive for what it is.

That I don't know. Honestly it's all subjective and all in the prep work.

I've talked with a couple of Modesta Installers. It sounds like a great product that is "supposedly" glossier and more scratch and mar resistant. I logged in and set up an account to be able to purchase the coatings but the price blew my mind. Now I have only talked to installers about the product, no hands on experience. It may be amazing and I hope it is. Not to sway you either way. But just some things to think about.
Modesta - may be amazing but, rather new not as much testing or reviews have been done as Finest.
How many cars has the installer coated with BC-05. The application process is different as well as the prep. Some say the primer needs to be used others say it's not.
Is the installer providing a warranty on Modesta or Finest and how do those compare?
Another factor to me would be proven difference and what my budget looks like.
I said all that to say if the claims that were made to me were true I would go with Modesta BC-05 and also the wheels in BC-04 ( I think that's the wheel coating), but if it was a huge price difference I would go with Finest and let the Modesta coating play out and see how it compares with some of the other coatings over time. Two things I have yet to see that Finest has provided:
1. A video of measurable thickness
2. A video demonstrating it's scratch resistance abilities.
Whatever you pick I hope your pleased and if it is Modesta I hope you will let me know what you think!

Finest is tried and true.
That's what I would spend my money on if the choice was only between CQuartz and Modesta.

Re: Cquartz Finest or Modesta Bc-05
I agree, CQuartz has excellent look, decent durability, and affordable cost. Modesta cost alone should be 3 times as much (for the coating alone, not the paint correction). The problem I see with Modesta is because it is so durable, it is designed the way it is, that it may end up not looking quite so good a year, or two down the road. Yet because it has to be sanded off, not polished, sanded that you may end up with areas you want touched up and end up paying out the nose down the road, (again).
The way products are being rolled out these days I suspect things will be turning around long before CQ hit's it's last days. Plenty out there that you'd want to go back with once that happens.
