    CQUARTZ in cold temps.

    So I have a new car coming in 2 weeks and wanted to ask for thoughts on using CQUARTZ in cold temps. I have CQUARTZ and plan on using it but temps are in the upper 30's and low 40's so it's colder than the recommended temps. I do have heat in the garage but not heat that I can keep running for a day or more. So does anyone know if the recommended temp is just for application or for the first 24 hours ?

    Thank you

    I think if it's CQuartz UK you'll be fine. Others maybe not so much. Wait for more input from anyone that has tried.

    Application temp is what is crucial. The vehicle surface and ambient environment should be brought up to the recommended temperatures for best results.

    CQuartzUK was made to flash faster in colder climates (UK).

    Re: CQUARTZ in cold temps.

    It will take longer to flash. Will be challenging to cure in a reasonable time. Pretty hard to know exactly how long on either.

    Probably would work. Probably best to wait till it’s warmer.

    Unfortunately. You could use something like Hydro2lite this winter and then use your cquartz come warmer days

    Thanks for the information. I think I may hit it with essence extreme then hydro for the winter.
