CQuartz 3.5 month update with vids

[panthercz]

I put CQuartz on my Ford Flex (including glass and wheels) back on May 3rd so I figured I'd post some videos of how it's holding up. I thought it would be a good way to show how easy it is to clean as well.

Some things I've noticed with it, is how the car stays cleaner longer and it isn't by just a little bit but by a very noticeable amount, especially with dust. CarPro claims CQuartz is an anti-static coating and I'd have to agree with them. Dust and pollen are nowhere near as bad as with standard sealants and waxes I've used.
Cleaning is a breeze, even the wheels can be easily cleaned with just soap and water. Bugs on the bumper are also fairly easy to remove with just soap and water.

The car had been washed prior to a 400 mile road trip and then not washed for two weeks after the trip to really allow some bugs and dirt to build up.

First video is of one of the wheels. Only thing used to clean is some water and Duragloss #902 car wash along with some wheel brushes. On the left side of the wheel that is a scuff from a certain female driver hitting a curb not dirt. Also notice how well the water beads.

Next is the front bumper that had a lot of caked on dried up bugs. Just rinsing with water got almost half of them off. Washing with Duragloss #902 got the rest of them off with little effort.

Next is the hood. You can see how well it beads and sheets water.

Final video is of the driver side. Again you can see how well the water basically just falls off the car. The video doesn't show it because of time but after a minute or two most of any beads of water left eventually roll down and off.

Beading on the hood.

Also here is the side mirror with CarPro Perl applied at 2:1 beading

Here is the rear bumper with UTTG beading (I'm kind of trying to compare the two on the same car for my own curiosity).

All in all if the CQuartz lasts the 2 years that it is suppose to be capable of, I'll be very happy with it. I think it is a good alternative to Opti-Coat if you are for whatever reason uneasy about applying a "permanent" coating.

Pretty damn impressive!

It looks like the water on the hood is running away from the hood.

Didn't watch the video- not in a place I can, but the beading on the hood looks nice.

I'm really interested to try this stuff on wheels as when I have collinite on the wheels, a lot of the brake dust comes off with just a pressure washer (not all though).

I will also be applying Opti-Coat 2.0 to my wife's car either this month or next to compare. I've applied it to several cars, just not any I own, so I'm curious how they both stack up in the long haul.
