CQUK vs Duragloss vs DP vs Opti-Coat comparison

[RobZ71LM7]

So I have samples of each coating and decided to do a comparison of performance and durability. I detailed the wife's Honda Fit and put all 4 on different spots of the car's roof.

Prep:

Wash
Clay w/ONR
Duragloss Squeaky Clean
20% IPA x2
CarPro Eraser x2


Coatings:

Duragloss Enivroshield (2 coats)
DP Paint Coating (2 coats)
CQUK (2 coats)
Opti-Coat


I was going to wait to post results, but I noticed a strong difference this evening. Both CQUK and Opti-Coat have significantly less dust and pollen on them versus the other two coatings. Duragloss and DP both look about the same and have significantly more dust. So in terms of dust CQUK and Opti-Coat are tied for first and Duragloss and DP are tied for second. Ironically, Duragloss and DP are both much slicker to the touch.

Very interesting. Keep us posted as time goes on.

Great idea and test. Thanks for taking the time to do this and post your results. I am already a Cquartz UK user and usually what I sell to the customers, but am curious how the others will perform especially the new DG coating.

Looking forward to the results!

Did you use the Squeaky Clean ahead of the DG?

See you in about a year or two, or so:
God willing, and the creeks don't rise.
