Great video. I have to agree with the flash time/wipe-off time. On the instructions and site, it was saying 5-7 minutes at 23 degrees (Celsius) with 50% humidity. From my previous two applications, I was getting ideal wipe-off times around 11-13 minutes, since the temps and humidity were fluctuating by a few degrees in the garage.
Thanks for the feedback!
I will have to try this on the new car at the house. Since I cant get the professional line; Im an RN by trade but a detail weekend warrior. Ive now purchased several items from you guys and can only say that you guys are a rare breed that take pride in their work and package your products very very well. I will continue to purchase thanks to your attention to detail (pun intended).
Thank you so much Sandy! All of us here appreciate the compliments and you noticing the pride in our work! I will share your comments with the team 🥰
Great video! I really liked how this video was structured. Very informative. Appreciate how you kept it honest on the longevity. Purchased UK 3.0 and SiC last year and never got a chance to apply them. Doing it this spring. Waiting to hear your take on the new Rupes Bigfoot iBrid 15 polisher.
Thank you! Great feedback which we really appreciate! Ok, we look forward to getting some time with one.
Wow! You can SMILE!
Ha! They made me do it... Well. I smile a LOT in normal day to day... Hard for me to do it on camera :) Work in progress.
Great vid. I've always applied 2 coats UK 3.0 with 1 coat SIC. I did it on my Forged Bronze 16' Maxima and I did it on my 22' Black Blazer RS. I also do the same application on my wheels. My cars are garaged kept and washed only in the driveway by hand with Reset. I just did my wife's 23' White Buick Envision/Black wheels. That combo is a fantastic combo and It holds up very well in the environment. I had my Maxima 6 years and only coated it once (3 coats) in those 6 years, topping it often with Reload. I love messing with my paint, so I know I overused the Reload, but the damn thing always looked great and held up well. The Blazer was purchased January, 22' and I coated it in March. Took one day to polish it right as rain, and spent the next 4 days coating it and treating the wheels (I'm retired). I also treated the interior of the Blazer (black) with Leather 2.0. Looks great inside. Once I'm ready to polish off the UK and SIC, I will definately use the DQ, 2 coats, and a top coat of...?
I'm actually trying to figure out what would be the best to top coat. SIC? Gliss? I know this can be somewhat subjective, and I'm sure all will provide great results. I'm not so hung-up on how slick the paint feels after coating, so I'm more focused on durability. Any real world suggestions would be appreciated as far as that third coat.
LOVE all the feedback and info from your real world experiences! To answer your question, if I was to top DQ GO then I would go with SiC over any other option. I agree the combo you used is INSANE. UK + Sic is HARD to beat! Super excited to see if DQUARTZ GO can match or exceed that in the long term.
Thanks for that feedback. I have come to really enjoy the CarPro family of products. I have really come to enjoy doing business with you guys. I've called a few times with questions and you always shoot straight. I am 60 and have my skill set, so it's always refreshing to talk to folks in this industry that can give honest answers without trying to sell me. I will continue to do business with you. Thank you for taking the time to educate me.@@SkyCarCare
Hi Ed! I shared this comment with the service team including James, Luis, Josh, and Alexandra as well as the rest of our family here. Nothing means more to us that to hear we have earned your trust and are not selling stuff you don't want or need! Love it - thanks again! @@user-dz5wn2dx9s

@@SkyCarCareis SIC adding gloss or advantages (without drawback) if we do not care about slickness (what is the advantage for sickness? Reject dirts more? Help for the wash?).
Great question, we do not know if it will add anything other than slickness. According to CARPRO there is no need to top with Sic. We did this only because we know people will want to try it and see if it is better so we are testing that so we can answer first hand over time.@@jeanbaptistelabelle
Phenomenal video Corey! If not your best one. Great explanation and example that will equip everyone from a beginner, to the professional on how to properly apply & understand CarPro Dquartz GO
I appreciate that! The team and I worked really hard on this one. Very happy to hear you liked the video :)
Looking forward to buying this from Sky's the Limit store. I previously bought UK3.0 + Gliss V2 from your shop, and prepped my new Tesla (even clay barred it but didn't iron-X it). I always wear a P100 3M respirator while applying any ceramic coats due to the solvents. Applied 2 coats UK3.0 and 1 coat GlissV2, and 16 months in, my Tesla's ceramic coat still beads water and easy to hand wash. Of course, my vehicles are garage kept and handwashed only, so I am expecting the ceramic coat to last 3-5 years.
Great feedback and tips! Very smart to use that respirator as well! I expect you will indeed easily get 3-5 years in the way you maintain and care for your vehicle. Great job!
My experience with Carpro has always been incredible. I fully trust the brand 💯. I've got a '22 Toyota GR circuit and have the front PPF'd, I coated it with 2 layers of SIC. For the rest of the non PPF area, I applied 2 layers of CQ UK 3.0 *and* 2 layers of SIC. The results are still like day 1. I wash the car mainly with ECH20 and now Absolute.
18 months later, there was no change in water behaviour, and that dripping gloss look.
I'm so happy that I've bought another new car adding to the fleet coming in March. I've arranged the front to be PPF'D again, this time I've bought in preparation Gtechiq Halo V2 specifically for the PPF. For the rest of the car, wheels, trims, plastic rear lamp units, metal/zinc plated brake calipers and everything else except the glass I have two kits of Dquartz Go to apply. I'll probably coat the underside and area on the chassis that's prone to dirt build up areas. I'll even remove the plastic wheel arch liners to coat behind those also.
Then I shall wait 12 hours before applying Bilt Hamber Dynax UC and a Bilt Hamber specific chassis anti corrosion cavity wax so that the under side will stay rust free for years.I love Carpro and Bilt Hamber combo as they have worked well togetheron this car that I'lluse the same principles on my next car.
I'd love to know more about Carpro, where the factory is based that produces Dquartz Go, how they blended it, and everything behind the scenes. I imagine they use industrial diamonds like the kind used for industrial concrete disc cutters for example? But much more refined and microns smaller? I just find the science behind it so very interesting - you've got to geek out about all of this as it's so interesting, to me, at least. 😊
I can't wait for the updates on this coating. It'll be good to see other content creators check out Dquartz Go also. 😊
Thanks for the good feedback and info and I look forward to hear your experience with GO as well. With regards to your UK/Sic feedback... Its such an insane combo! I think anyone that hasn't tried it cannot properly comprehend how phenomenal it is.
@SkyCarCare Thanks Corey, My thoughts exactly, 3.0 and SIC are amazing together. Just remember not to use Reload on top of all of that until both are fully cured and some because Reload can react badly on top of those coatings when combined. It'll turn the coatings cloudy. You can use Reload after 48 hours or a good few days ideally. I can't wait to use Dquartz Go months time and counting. Personally, I think Dquartz will be the coating of 2024 and beyond I'm certain. I am a little bit obsessed with Carpro products....they just have their product line just perfect. I like their strong concentration they use in the products, I cannot complain or make any suggestions as they have nailed their brand. 🙌
Ahh yes, EXCELLENT tip and reminder on not using Reload on top of SiC until its fully cured! @@79blustone I hope we are right about DQ GO in 2024!! If it has successfully nailed the tech from DQUARTZ Pro of 2023 then I am certain you are right.
I had an amazing instal experience. I did two coats on my Golf R, and have about 1/4th of a bottle left. I probably could have used less, but oh well.. I look forward to my first wash next month to examine the water behavior.
Great feedback! Thank you!
Would like to see an update video on 1 vs 2 coats as well as the SiC top layer soon. I have ordered Dquartz go but have previously used only CQUK3.0, and am curious to see a direct comparison between both. Thanks!
Ok, we will get that done soon!
Checkout the short I posted yesterday. I did this
On my way!@@go46ball
Great video Cory. I will be curious on future updates how well this coating will do.
You and me both! We will keep you posted here with updates in the future!
Will be installing DQUARTZ GO on a C7 Corvette soon. Looking forward to seeing how we like it. I truly appreciate all the support you all offer.
Thank you for your support, and for watching the video! I hope you love it and look forward to your feedback.
Happy Friday!
Corey
Now this is how you review a product. Can you make a video comparing all 3 coatings side by side in terms of how they look ie gloss, saturation.
Thank you so much! Thats quite a compliment! I will ask the team to put it on the list but I will tell you that 99.99999999999% of the look of any coating of impeccable quality will come from the gloss in the polishing step you do before coating.
Thanks, Cory this product is very interesting. Makes me wonder if it’s more valuable to use this as a topper and do a base layer of UK.
My pleasure! In our estimation you are best off by far using DQUARTZ or UK as the base and Sic as the top coat IF you plan to mix coatings. You cant go wrong just using DQUARTZ or UK by itself either.
Will be applying DQ Go to one of my customers' cars next week... I am wondering to apply either 2 layers of Go or 1 layer Go & 1 SiC. Did 1 layer CQUK & 1 SiC to my own car last year and man, that combo rocks!! Also, the customer hasn't got all the time to wait so any tips on using Release? Have it available to use!! Thnx guys!
Good morning Paul! Tough choice because either of those 2 combos will be AWESOME! If he or you want that really slick feeling then do the Sic on top. With regards to performance I think its going to be similar over the long term with either combo you mention. DQ+Sic or DQ+DQ. With Release, I would say wait as long as possible before using. In other words give it at LEAST one hour from when you apply the last coat. If he lives very nearby and you have sunshine and no nasties gonna land on the paint then you do not need release.
I have coated 5 Cars with it so far and the experience has been great. Seems like a little gray area with if top coating with SIC is an actual performance advantage or if it's just going to add some sickness. I guess time will tell.
We agree. People love to top coatings even when we say they don't have to. So we will test and see if it adds anything more than just slickness :)
@@SkyCarCare adds some hydrophobic for sure. Check out the short I posted yesterday.
@@go46ball Just watched that PJ! Thanks for heads up on that. Also looks like that reflection shows you are crushing the beard game! 💪
Is there a way to increase the "hardness" of PPF by applying this? The self healing layer top coat of my PPF doesn't really work, so want to just use traditional coatings. Really conflicted on whether to apply this or what I normally use (CSL + EXO)
Great question, if your self healing is no longer working then I have not seen any downside to coating PPF but it is not going to make it too hard regardless of what coating you use just by the nature of the softness of the film below. Having said that, the water spot and chemical resistance we have seen out of this DQUARTZ tech is next level so regardless of "hardness" you can't go wrong with the effects you get from it. Good luck!
Great video, though I do wonder why it's never advised to use coatings on PPF? I've honestly had 5 cars with PPF applied with CQuartz UK 3.0 and they've held up just as good as on paint. I know there's supposed to be the "flexible" or "malleable" variable as PPF is supposed to be slightly softer than paint, but I've never had any issues.
Thanks Soap! It seems to be fine with a lot of coatings on PPF although may or may not hold up as long depending on the PPF. In the case of DQUARTZ GO, it being a harder coating than most I can see that theoretically you wouldn't want to add it to something ultra flexible, especially self-healing ppf. While in theory, that makes sense, I am not convinced one way or the other personally.
Best,
Corey
@@SkyCarCare Ah that's a good point. I should also disclaim I've only used consumer grade coatings. Perhaps it's more of a potential issue with Pro grade coatings or harder ones like Dquartz. Thanks!
10min to wipe? Is this normal with car pro? Other coatings I’ve used take 1min or so. Great video.
No, that is not normal. They vary between coatings and of course temperature and humidity but for us it is as follows. DQUARTZ 10 ~ 15 minutes in 70F. CQUARTZ UK we find is usually ok after 5 but is still GREAT and easy peasy at 7 ~ 10 so we do that at that time. Sic on the other hand is 5 minutes or less generally. DLUX or Lite are very fast.
On my two cars I did one with Ethos graphene and one with Adams graphene. Both original versions. How does this compare to the Graphene coatings? I know Adams says there graphene advanced is good for 9 years.
The DQUARTZ technology far exceeds any graphene coating we have seen on the market.
What is the shelf life on your new coating, opened and unopened?
12 months unopened and 6 months open are our best estimates. I would try t keep it to 3 open if possible.
So if I want to add a second coat if I miss that 1 hour window do I need to wait to full cure to do the second coat? You indicated that for SiC it needed to be at least 1 hour but like the second coat if that 1 hour is missed is it better to wait until full cure?
Great question! You want to wait at least one hour. Then after that I would say either wait until you are between 12~24 hours for the next window. So there are 2 windows... 1 ~ 2 hour window or 12~24 hour window. Between 2 and 12 hours I don't like to mess with the first layer.
@@SkyCarCare Thanks.
As always, love your videos. I 'm going to ceramic coat my second car and am aware of the various stages. However, I am going to use Car Pro Essence as my finishing polish and will use Avalon King Armour Shield as my ceramic coating. However, when using Essence, would I still require the IPA stage, as Essence is supposed to be a primer? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the kind words and glad you are enjoying our videos! Yes, we still recommend a light Eraser wipe. If you use alcohol then cut it at least 50%. (With Essence I would cut the alcohol even further) Also wait at least an hour after Essence to do your wipe. The reason is there is a little mineral oil in there and if you do not polish it down far enough then you need to remove that oil. And there is no way to rally be sure you polished it down far enough.
@SkyCarCare Thank you for such a detailed response, so quickly. Legends!
Cheers Mr Ek! Have a great week!@@mrek2068
Question for layering times. Is the time in hours mentioned for second coats of product or other products temp and humidity dependent? For example, in the video it was said top in 1 hour, or 4 hours. Do I need to wait longer if it's say 55 degrees or low humidity?
Great quesiton! Yes, that will vary some with temperatures. 1 hour / 4 hour is at Temp. 70F. At 100F you can subtract 10% off of those times. At 50F add 15% to those times.
Hi, it's about 8.30pm in New Zealand and was hoping to coat the car tonight as it's all preped and ready to go. It's about 10 degrees celcius in winter. Is there a minium temp and humidity?
What is the weakness if I wipe off DQ Go before flash ? I apply DQ Go at temp 38C it immidiately dry in 20-30 second
If you can climate control and get the temperatures down to 90F instead of 100F then it will be more predictable. I have not tested applying at 100F and immediately wiping off so I cannot say. I can say that if it is looking strong 1 month after application then the installation was very likely a great success.
Big fan of Sky's the limit car care for their huge selection of products. Anyway i am all for a product the makes your life easier and not having to add multiple layers is a win win for me. The only cons to this is the price point. Now the pros here is that one layer will offer the benefits of say a coating that you had to add multiple layers. My question here is that besides the one layer benefit and gloss. How is this so different from all the other past coatings?
Thank you SO much and apologies for the slow reply! Agreed, we can do UK + Sic for less cost and CRAZY good results! As far as how it is different from other coatings I would say it simply resists the elements and abuse much better! Having said that, I base my comment on what I saw of DQUARTZ the past year. I ASSUME based on what the chemists have told us that they have successfully transferred that technology into the DQUARTZ GO coating to allow me to expect that with the GO version as well. In a few months I should be able to know first hand
How did it turn out on the PPF? Did it dry it out?
It looks great on the ppf! No prob BUT as noted CARPRO does not recommend it for PPF since they have other coatings that can flex better with PPF.
Is there any waterspot resistance/recovery from it/leaving it out in the elements type long term testing happening with this one?
Absolutely! DQUARTZ tech has been phenomenal in this regard over the past year and we expect that with GO as well. This car is my daily driver and sits outside 5 days a week at work in the Florida sun and rain next to a concrete plant. Also, I do not wash it as much as I should so we will see what we have over time and keep you updated.
@@SkyCarCare that's really good to hear, btw I feel that Descale should come with a warning that it's compatible with CarPro coatings only, as I have seen a few instances of it completely killing the hydrophobics on Gyeon and other coatings and turning them into fast sheeters only after just 1 application
My personal vehicle has 2layer UK + layer SIC.
I need to redo coating after having insurance work done and a panel repainted.
Thinking Dquartz go wirh SIC ontop. Would there be any benefit to 2 layers of Dquartz base?
Great question Ryan but a tough one. With regards to putting Sic on top of DQUARTZ GO I think this is going to be an AMAZING combo if the DQ GO works with it as well as DQ Pro 2023 did. As far as 2 base layers... Theoretically speaking - 2 layers base coat should be better than one just like with UK but I have not been able to test side by side in a controlled environment that combo of 2 base coats. In a practice sense it may well be overkill but I suspect it would add something. Whether it is worth the extra time I am not sure... The more coats - the more you reach a point of diminishing returns imo. I definitely would never do more than 3 total coats.
@@SkyCarCare Agreed on diminishing returns, I/we coated a few customer cars with single layer of UK+SIC. Seemed to make most sense when you are trying to maximize efficiency and cost to client. That will probably be same for Dquartz go+SIC.
I plan to coat my wife's car with 1 layer each, her car is treated more like typical car that doesn't get babied.(if I don't wash it then it stays dirty)
My car will likely get 3 total coats just to see how it behaves.
Sounds perfect - let us know any feedback as you gather it!@@MyGoToUserName
I did my truck with UK3.0 a few years ago and still looks awesome---what are the steps to get it ready for a new coating of DQUARTZ!!
Awesome! I love hearing that! Well, if its still in near perfect condition then all you need to do is give it a light finishing polish - CARPRO Reflect. So, I would go, Reset, IronX, Reflect, Eraser, DQUARTZ GO.
@@SkyCarCare Thanks for getting back--is there any benefit to using CARPRO Essence instead of Reflet for my polish! And after using one of them, I must to go back over with eraser to clean it off, before using DQUARTZ---thanks!
@@iholla2 Great question! No, in fact you should NOT use Essence because it may not be compatible with DQUARTZ so you are better off not using it. Definitely use Eraser after your finishing polish though.
Hi,
Can I use Dquartz Go and top it with SIC and Gliss?
Yes you can but I would stick to just SIC on top of DQ Go personally.
You state that the 50 ml bottle will coat two cars with two layers each. Would that be applicable to a cx5 and a crosstrek or am I looking at needing more. Any feedback on topping with Sic? Would one 30ml bottle of Sic top the two cars mentioned above?
Great question Karl, 30ml would be pushing it on those size vehicles. You MIGHT be able to do it as long as you did not use it on glass or wheels. It would be close but doable. I would go with 50ml to be safe if you are trying to get two coats on each. In summary a 30ml could do one coat on each of those cars but not two.
@@SkyCarCare thanks for the feed back. Just to clarify, I was not going to coat glass or rims. I would just use the Sic a a single coat topper for the Dquartz go on both vehicles. I have the Dlux for the rims.
DQuartz Go vs UK3.0
Which one easier to wipe off ?
UK3.0 is impossible to beat in that department! Nothing is easier. DQUARTZ GO is very easy but not as easy as CQUARTZ UK
I applied reload after 1 hour, should that be a problem?
Hopefully you will be fine, You should know within a month or less. The first or second time you wash it, would be apparent if something was wrong.
😊
How long after can I top coat it after I applied
Depends on what you top coat it with. A top coat is not necessary with DQUARTZ however if you want it to be more slick and are topping it with Release, Reload, or CQUARTZ Sic then you can see those in the video you are commenting on. If you hover over the video above and then move your cursor to the timeline that runs across the bottom of the video and move your cursor near the end you will see a section called "Curing, Topcoats, and Times." You will notice at timeline 16:59 it says "Topcoats" and also see there that it says 1 hour between DQUARTZ and CQUARTZ Sic, and 4 hours if you top with Reload or Release. Enjoy the video!
Can you top c quartz 3.0 on d quartz?
You can, but you would be better off topping it with CQUARTZ Sic. Sic is a better top coat than UK. Sic is great on top of UK or on top of DQUARTZ.
Warmest Regards,
Corey
Any plans for 100ml bottles in the future?
If it sells very well then I am sure CARPRO will be happy to make a 100ml for us.
Great video once again. What would you suggest instead of essence? It’s for a factory new car. All I have in my arsenal is essence and fixer.
Thank you! If those are the only two polishes you have then go with Fixer using a finishing pad like the Honey spider pad or light polishing foam pad. Do a test spot and check it and if its mint then let her rip, panle wipe, and DQUARTZ.
@@CquartzFinest thanks :). If you have a better suggestion, I’m open to buy something 😎
@@laffefar I agree with @CquartzFinest 🤣 As far as purchasing something else, there are better options for a finishing polish than Fixer however it is probably not worth it in this case when Fixer should work perfectly well and you may not notice any difference between Reflect and Fixer on that particular car. If it is black then perhaps you can do better with Reflect. What color is the car? What make and model? Are there any swirls in it? Or are you only polishing it to prep for the coating? Finally, is the car in your possesion currently to do a test spot with the products you already have?
@@SkyCarCare Hi :) The car is a dark grey metallic. I don’t have it yet. Supposed to be delivered late august. Yes I’m polishing to prepare for coating with quartz. As for swirls I assume the detailer the car dealer ship uses will leave some kind of surprises for me to work out 😂😂
@@laffefar Hahaha, I suspect you are right! Based on their likely being a few "custom just for you" swirls in it direct from the dealer AND the fact it is mettalic I think you will do very well with Fixer as long as you have some good pads. In that case save your money and work with what you have! If you do not have pads and need to purchase stuff anyway then I would get an 8oz bottle of CARPRO Reflect, an 8oz bottle of Jescar Fine Polish, or an 8oz bottle of Scholl Concepts S30. Any of these three compounds will work fantastic although the fixer will remove the swirls faster (hopefully only a few of them)
What do you do with the towels used for wiping?
You downgrade them to a task that will not be used on paint in the future or else you immediately soak them in strong soap to avoid any ceramic curing in them.
@@SkyCarCare thank you. I was thinking the same. I wanted to buy some better towels for wiping but i didn't know for sure if I could safely reuse them. Could you recommend a detergent and a dilution ratio for this job?
@@texfromro my pleasure! Use the CARPRO MFX or you can even simply add some all purpose cleaner to a couple gallons of water. Key is to get the towels in as soon as you finish using one, submerge it in the water and let it soak until your ready to wash them in the machine later with Microfiber detergent like MFX.
Best,
Corey
Great video:) Can I top Dquartz with Gliss?
@skycarcare Or can I top it with Gliss every 6 months?
Thank you!! Yes, you will note in this video that we topped one section with Gliss. So far, so good.
@@FrodeFlipper I wouldnt top it in future with Gliss, I would just use Reload or Hydrofoam or Elixir. But if you wanted to then you could.
I feel like the industry is doing itself a disservice by doing away with limits or expectation of limits to the longevity of coatings. Personally i feel a disclaimer of sorts should be on the label somewhere saying “results of durability may vary depending vehicle driving environment, maintenance of coating and storage conditions (I.e. indoor/outdoor parking) or something along those lines. It would also make paying for a coating more justifiable imo.
Definitely a LOT of people out there pushing nonsense the past 10 years but theres a handful of us that just keep telling people the reaility... I think we have had a strong effect! Nobody that knows better takes the clowns serious anymore but it is sad that some continue to fall for it.
D.quartz is $110, C quartz is $93 the 3.0 version. For it being the first time having this product I would expect it to be if not cheaper, the same price as c -quartz. Time will tell.
Well said "Time will tell!" As far as the cost, it is priced based on costs. It cost us nearly 2x as much as UK so we charge nearly 2x as much as UK.
10-20 minutes flash time? Wow. At what temp 72F?
Yes that was at around 70
@@SkyCarCare Thanks so much. Is the gloss level as good as CQuartz UK3.0 or SiC?
@@ONI1013. Yes sir! I see no difference in gloss level.
Can I apply this on PPF?
You can but CARPRO will tell you that would not make sense. PPF is very soft (especially if it is self-healing) and DQUARTZ is hard so you are better off using CQUARTZ SKIN if you want to coat ppf.
Who is this coating for? Someone who is going to wash less? Someone that washes more due to the higher hardness? Resistance to micro marring? I’m in the market for a coating and I’m trying to decide which one will work best for me. I live in MN so chemical resistance is important.
Thanks for the great question Karl. If DQUARTZ GO is anywhere near the results we have had over the pas year with DQUARTZ Pro then this is your best option for chemical resistance.
As far as who this is good for.... This one is better against wash marring than other coatings but always best to use a good mitt like Microfiber Madness Delimitt XL or CARPRO Merino wool on soft paints. Coatings are best for people that want the car to be easier to wash but are still willing to wash them. If someone is NEVER going to wash their car then you can make an argument for OR against a coating.... It will be good to have for that guy but its going to mess up the beading and integrity of coating over time if its sitting outside and never getting washed. The coating works by its ability to repel everything really well! However... if you NEVER wash then eventually it starts to build up enough stuff that it can't repel the incoming filth. It need to be cleaned often enough so that it can do its job repelling what is incoming. In a perfect world you would wash a daily driver every 2 weeks or even ever single week if you could. However if you rarely wash then its still protecting your paint... it just is not going to perform as well the way to beads water eventually.
Thanks guys! You had me at CARPRO! I was just wondering if this was going to be a good product for me. Next question, and I know you talked about it in your video. I am interested in a topper for slickness. For the MN climate, is SiC or Gliss going to be the better topper? I do wash once a week but it may go every two weeks. In the winter, it’s whenever the thermometer goes above freezing, been lucky this year so far. Thanks for all the input. I love watching your videos to help me make decisions! ❤️
Thanks Karl! GO with SiC as your topper if you decide to top it. @@karlf2378
Multi layer coatings are thing of the past . Plus this new coating is quite alot more expensive than 3.0uk
Fortunately DQUARTZ GO can be used with a single layer. For what its worth, so can all of the other CARPRO coatings. You simply get increased performance with multiple layers.
@@SkyCarCareyet carpro highly recommends 2 coats for example Uk 3.0 . I’ve applied it on single layer & it’s very disappointing in terms of durability. Can’t see how this new one is worth nearly double what 3.0 costs 🥱
Thanks for your feedback! Everyone is entitled to an opinion and we love to hear them. ;)@@davida7713
@@SkyCarCare yeah single layer coatings is where it’s at which many of the competition has introduced . less product & quicker turnaround. It’s a win win & no brainier 👌
Can DQuartz Go be topped with CQuartz UK 3.0? Can DQuartz Go be used with Essence?
It CAN be topped with UK but we think there would be no good reason to do so. You would be better off choosing either/or for your base coat or only coats. Having said that, we did not test that long term yet and for sure we could be wrong! No, we recommend not to use Essence with DQUARTZ GO at this time because we are not sure it will jive well and maybe won't bond as good.
The question is it user friendly?
It is very user friendly
probably amazing just like all the million carpro other coatings...but I think there are too many in the line it's getting pointless pick a coating from Carpeo or any other reputable brand and it'll be great. no need for a 1 yr 2 yr 3 yr 5 yr 8 yr 20yr coating 😅 as long as it holds up to the elements, chemicals, & shines and beads like crazy. have a 3 yr coating , a glass coating and a ppf coating and call it a day then improve on those. no need for 20 coatings when you can sell more just offering a few.
Absolutely! Choose the one that works best for you and rarely a need for any other!
I want to try it, but it's so expensive
I figure my time to polish and prep is WAY more costly than the coating product cost but I get it. You cannot go wrong with UK + Sic combo if you want to save some $!
I’ve just used carpro go & wow definitely didn’t enjoy the user experience. Very grabby & tacky to remove & wouldn’t even class it as “smooth” when levelled . Very disappointing to say the least & the price increase over there other coatings is no where near enough worth it & ohhhh the finish & gloss is very average & poor . Definitely a very overrated product from carpro for sure!
How odd! Thats the first and only time we have heard that feedback so thanks for sharing it! Generally when someone says the experience of a coating is poor it is due to the prep work as coatings actually are not causing much if any increase in gloss. The gloss and appearance comes from polishing properly and decon/prep before the polish. If you ordered it from us (we could not find any record of that) then please reach out to us at our customer service email so we can return the unused portion and refund you or perhaps get to the bottom of your results. Have a great day David!
