Review - CarPro Cquartz Lite

Great review Mike! I applied CQ Lite earlier this week, definitely feels like a true full blown coating. This doesn't feel any less difficult to work with compared to CQUK 3.0 from what I remember on standard application. The 150ml amount and price point is a great value, a clear advantage over Gyeon One with better application. Gliss V2 is a stunner as well, awesome improvement over the inconsistent bonding issues I had with V1.

Thanks. Looking forward to your video on it.

I agree with you on Gliss V2. Experienced issues with V1 bonding on bare paint. That is the reason I removed it from the trunk panel and went with CQ Lite.

Gus, does Lite or Gliss have any filling abilities?

You call Pan by the name of Pam and me Gus lol. Just giving you a hard time.

I find coatings to have a light filling capability. Lite sure did make the red test good look better with the deep defects still in it.

I can’t recall if Gliss has any filling ability. I’ve used it as a topper and when I used it as a stand alone it was in a freshly polished surface.

Thanks Mike, as far as Pam, just yanking her chain.
 
Thanks for the review I purchased this couple weeks ago but haven’t had time to apply it because waiting on my polisher I just ordered today so I can correct my paint first but am excited to apply it..

I don't like these products, To many water spots if you don't stay on top of it. Coatings and their self cleaning effect and long lasting durability are good in theory for people who don't want to do much maintenance except for that Achilles heel called water spots.

I understand detail guys like the coatings on their cars but come on. We are topping every week or every other week aren't we?

I'm trying cosmic glass coat on my next detail but I'll be topping it. The best thing you can do to avoid water spots on a coating ironically is to top it with carnauba wax so we come full circle.

I like those 2 face towels

Edit: Awesome review guz! Nice job as usual.

You're looking at wrong typesof Coatings

Check out the rubber membrane based or graphene based

This applicator would work but I prefer the autofiber coating saver microfiber applicators for coatings. They have an inner liner that keeps the center foam from absorbing too much product.

Thanks Mike. I couldn’t find those applicators at AG but found them on Amazon. I also ordered CQuartz lite today from AG.

Waxmode or Guz have either of u used clearcut? I need a new compound it was either going to be m110 or clearcut. I have a little Griot’s FCC left and like that but just watched a video on clearcut and was impressed

Yes I have used Clear Cut. It does cut and finish pretty well. The only thing I don't like about it is that is dusts a lot more than M110. M110 will not cut as much but it also finishes pretty well but almost no dusting. The good thing is you can buy a small 8 oz bottle of clear cut if you want to try it out before investing in a larger bottle.
 
Update time. It has been 3 months since applying CQ Lite and CanCoat on my daily driver. No toppers have been used. Again this car sits outside 24/7 and is exposed to the Southern California sun. At 3 months both products are performing well. CQ Lite has tighter beading but other than that they are on par thus far. Next update will be at the 7 month mark.

Thanks for the update. They both look great to your point. I'm at about 2 months with Cquartz Lite on my wife's car, and even after 5-6 weeks of no-wash it cleaned right back up with a reset wash. Very happy with the product and definitely recommend for performance and ease of application.
 
Can someone tell me if there is enough in the bottle to do a new F-150? How about two coats?

I put 2 coats on my crew cab F150 and 2 on my wife's escape. I still have around half a bottle left. Little goes a long way.

For sure, it goes a long way, I normally do a v shape on my pad and that's enough to do a door or half a hood

Quick 5 month update on Cquartz Lite vs Gyeon CanCoat. Both coatings are performing well at this point. Both products are still showing strong signs of water beading. I give the self cleaning effect of Cquartz Lite a slight edge.

Not the best photo but it will have to do.
