The product description for Cquartz Lite says that it is resistant to "light solvents". What are some examples? If a solvent qualifies as "heavy", can it be diluted down, rendering it "light"?
 
what kind of solvent are you thinking to put on top of cquartz lite?

Even on torture tests where they put stuff you ll never put on your paint , regular sealants are still holding there , something like cquartz lite should not have an issue holding against most solvents that you would use on your car.

Give us an example ...

IMO: Solvent naphtha (petroleum)
light aromatic...is an example of a
light solvent—even says so in its name.

•Better questions, IMO, are:
-What is the definition of: “to dilute (down)”?
-Using its definition: Can solvents be diluted?

•Take water (the “universal solvent”)
as an example of a solvent:
-Can the solvent *water* be diluted?
{If so: diluted with/by what?}

Pretty sure the lightest solvent is water. Water based products make great toppers.

•I believe that, by density,
(ie. mass per volume):
-the solvent IPA weighs less than H2O.

~33.8 oz. of H2O weighs...2.205 lbs.
~33.8 oz. of IPA weighs....1.740 lbs.

Not really a solution for your dilemma,
but I have these T’s currently marked
down to $19.99 (all sizes).

I meant lightest as in less likely to remove or degrade an underlying product.
