Applied CQuartz to the wife car :)

[IID]

No worries man. Plenty of people love CQuartz and have been more than happy with it. I just preferred the way OC sheds water away when I pressure washed the car....just a personal preference really.

I just used M205. I have no way of knowing if the CQuartz was fully removed, but I saw no adverse affect's when I applied OC. I had some issues with C1 not leveling out.

I know it was reformulated recently, not sure if that fixed what you experienced or not.

Not sure. I was going to get some of their polishes too and see if finishing with one of them helps....thought maybe I had some residual oils left behind from M205. I kept wiping and wiping using more than one towel and it just didn't want to level out. I went with OC instead and had ZERO issues.

After talking with some others it sounds like I'm not the only who had that issue either. I'm going to try the C1 again after getting some P1 and P2, but right now OC has never given me any issues and will probably end up being my only offering if C1 doesn't work well next time around.

I have used P1 and its great, never needed to buy any P2.

Would you guys know if the Opti-Coat has the same protective factors as the CQ claims?

Interesting stuff Chad. Thanks for the update and information

Just ordered 30ml of C1, will be interesting to see how it goes.

No prob Corey. I know Richy prefers CQuartz so that just goes to show you it's all about personal preference.

Yes! It offers:

-Better scratch and Mar resistance
-Better release properties (readily sheds dirt and oil)
-Better UV resistance (no yellowing over time)
-Better gloss retention
-Does not oxidize (will continue to bead water and release dirt for years).

Cool. Let me know how it works for you. Try it on a dark colored car if you can. It was pretty humid in my shop when I tried it too, so that could be a big factor.

I'll order P1 and P2 this week as well as another C1.

I'm going to be removing the Aquartz from my car then applying the C1. Need to try stuff on my own car before using it on customers cars.
