    Re: Review - CarPro Cquartz Leather Coating

    Update time thanks to Eldorado.

    3 months on my dad's daily driven 2015 Impala. Beading still looks great. Seats have been cleaned with Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer. This is on the drivers side seat which sees more activity. This seat has multiple coats.





    15 month update on my 2002 Camaro. This car is driven 1-2 times a week. This is on the drivers side seat. This seat has only one coat.







    Video update

    Thanks. Impressed with the coating every time I use it. A damp towel is all that is really needed to clean the seats. Also noticed the seats stay cleaner as there was not a lot of dirt on the damp microfiber towel.

    1 year update on my dad's seats. Cquartz Leather Coating has held up well after 1 year. The surface is still hydrophobic and the surface tension is still present indicating it is still on the surface. The car is daily driven. So far so good.

    Not to sound like an D, but all automotive leather seats should be able to do that demonstration, even without having been treated with Cquartz Leather Coating. I did the same test on my 20yr. old Cadillac seats and it beaded up the same way and I’ve never applied a coating to it.

    Re: Review - CarPro Cquartz Leather Coating

    Final update with Cquartz Leather Coating. It is still on my Camaro seats that I coated 2 years ago. I rarely drive it so that is why the coating is still intact.

    On my dad's daily driver the coating came close to 2 years. I recoated them at 23 months as the coating had shown signs of wear as well as the seats holding onto dirt more. A quick cleaning and a recoat and the seats are good to go.



    The only area that I felt the coating was weak was on the interior trim pieces. The surfaces still marred with wipedowns and just normal use over the course of the coatings life span. The reason for that is the Cquartz Leather doesn't form a hard shell like Cquartz, Cquartz UK or DLUX. It is rather softer and more flexible.

    TIP: Unlike Gyeon Leather Shield where Gyeon Leather Coat can be used as a maintenance protectant, CarPro PERL is not a good choice to mimic the same idea. Perl on leather looks good but it did tend to attract more dirt on the test area I did.

    Interesting. I think leather coatings are useless. Why? If driven daily, the abrasion is going to remove the coating relatively quickly, IMO.
    Both Gyeon Leather Shield and Cquartz Leather seemed to last a long time for me.

    Which one would you use again on black coated leather?
