Ceramic coating

SY8 · 10-21-2019, 06:48 AM

Hi guys

Looking to get a stage 1 paint enhancement and ceramic coating on my car.

When I originally spoke to the prospective detailer and we discussed a 2 year ceramic coat protection, he stated that he would most likely use Gtechniq.

He has now suggested that he would use Carpro Cquartz?

Any advice on the difference and which would be better? Also a guideline on what the above should cost?

Thanks in advance

I've got Cquartz on mine, apart from getting a bug mark in the first week, when it was soft I guess, it's been pretty good. I dont wash the car that much but it sure is easier and looks like I put way more effort in. Also seems to stay cleaner looking longer, and I collect less bugs on the motorway.

I had a one-man-band place do a stage 1 polish and a couple of coats of ceramic, gliss + some extras for £480 over 3 days (south west).

Any other experience of Carpro Cquartz over Gtechniq guys?

Cheers

Have cquartz on my M3 (with Gliss over the top) and recently put gtechniq chrystal serum light on my Raptor. Both are very similar, I preferred the application of the gtechniq. Can't speak to durability as my M3 is a garage queen and Raptor coating is new. If I had to choose between the 2 it would be gtechniq.

The chances are is that detailer either prefers Cquartz or he’s got a deal on the kit from his supplier. I’d go with their recommendation as they’ll be applying what they like to work with.

I had Gyeon ceramic coating applied and its a fantastic product and so far so good. Makes the car so easy to clean for sure.

I used Gyeon when i had mine done and extremily please with the results. Makes cleaning so so so easy.
i had a one coat machine polish and then ceramic applied. Paid £650

It all depends on whether he's using the pro level or consumer level.

CQuartz Finest and GTechiniq Crystal Serum Ultra are the pro level coatings. If he's installing those, that would come with a premium.
