How To Apply CQuartz UK 3.0 Review & Application

[@jamms2966]

I am impressed with how helpful this video is. Other videos about 3.0 are just hype & filler. Thank you for this!

[@TheCarDetailingChannel]

I’m late to comment on this video but I love this coating a lot. I didn’t even realize till now that this was optimized for UK weather, makes sense now why this is so easy to use in my BC climate. Our climate is very similar to the UK

[@illusionzauto]

I have to admit that this was a visually satisfying in depth video first person point of veiw. And thank you for pointing out how low temperatures can affect the viscosity of the coating when applying. The application is pretty much easy as putting butter on bread if you do all the steps to prep. Your video gives a lot of confidence to weekend enthusiast as other detailers videos are so dramatic and scare people like its the end of the world if you apply a ceramic coating. The secret is taking your time 2x2 section at a time and that second and third microfiber towel will always ensure no high spots are left. That simple. Thanks again for the video

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Thank you Sandro. I am glad i chose this as my "first" ceramic coating. My knowledge of the product & confidence to use has been dramatically increased. 🙏🏻

[@bigrustybucket]

That was a cinematic experience. The change in music. Marching of the beads. Well done. The content was great too.

[@drewthatsme6212]

Were you high to?

[@flexer83]

This was Short. Informative. Comperhensive Tutorial video. U got new subscriber 👍

[@seanwelding4183]

I've been watching your channel for ages now, if I remember correctly you were around a thousand subscribers when I found you, and I can tell you for certain that your videos are getting better and better every single time. Very well done on those macro shots my friend, and thank you so much again for everything that you share with us. The knowledge you share is invaluable.

[@crazyranger100]

I'm sure that if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have a passion for detailing. I was really looking forward to this videos since no one that I know has made a side by side comparison. Thank you so much, Sandro! And as long as you keep going, I'll be supporting you!

[@tulsibeepat3453]

As usual a well made and in-depth video do that anyone can understand the process thank you

[@nickantuar1682]

Another fantastic video Sandro. With the colder weather now here in the lower regions of Australia, it’s important to know the details you mentioned regarding flash times and wipe off issues as you mentioned. Good to see you getting more creative and confident in your video editing/production skills too. Keep up the great work mate!

[@djrixxard]

I pulled the trigger and bought it while watching this video. Thanks for the review and all the great information.

[@thekoshplays2207]

Mate well done. I bought this new product ( and a shed load of Car pro products) and will be tackling my Mondeo in July. Your videos have inspired me. The level of information and detail and to be honest your smooth and easy to listen to delivery is what keeps me coming back. If im ever in Melbourne Ill buy ya dinner ;) Im in Ireland but il get to Aus eventually...Cya and thanks again ;)

[@mikenc1515]

The close up of the water beads and music was like a Sci-Fi movie. Great video and great info as usual. Thanks!

[@michaellange7310]

Thanks for the tips! And perfect timing - 3.0 came in the post yesterday and I'm almost finished my paint correction in preparation for my first coating application. BTW, love your work - videos are great reference material and your filming and editing techniques are awesome! Keep up the good work, cheers!!

[@sergeyrudnitskiy7579]

Sandro, thank you indeed for another fantastic video! Greetings from Sweden.

[@dontaclebourn5679]

Great and thorough video. I'm preparing to install UK 3.0 this weekend and really needed the insight you provided here.

[@guilhermecavalcantevieira5730]

I very much apprecciate your videos! Sandro is the man! Greetings from Brazil!

[@mikemittel2691]

I have been using cquartz uk for years. It’s time for me to try 3.0. Great video.. thanks....

[@BigLeafDropper86]

Ive list count how many times I've watched this, and I've only just bought this product for the first time now

[@groundcontrol6876]

Those beads at the end were epic ❤️

[@colwarby2310]

That is some nice camera work to display the product. Sometimes it looked like mercury. Great display of a great product

[@ghostrecon3214]

I just applied this to half of my porcelain sink, filled the sink half way up and drained it. The treated side was bone dry, meanwhile the untreated (yet just cleaned) side had water sticking all over it. Once my wife sees it, it will probably become a requirement... And likely will need to do the other half of the sink too.

[@desire68frogman98]

Thanks for this very informative video. I’ll be adding this product to my cars bodywork and your vid here has been extremely helpful. 🙏🏾

[@stephencarbonaro5462]

Man, Sandro, you really take it to the next level. Excellent video and all around great information. I love messing around with different waxes and sealants, and I'm just not ready for the commitment of a coating just yet. But this is certainly a product that I would like to try soon. Thank for your insight. 😀

[@kenlawton1531]

Excellent review Sandro! Your editing skills are on point! Thanks for your efforts mate, truly appreciated and very well received by all. Interesting product, looks like when the original cquartz wears off the wife's golf this will be it's replacement. Mind you it's only been 7 months and so far the old cquartz is killing it😉

[@kenlawton1531]

Car Craft Auto Detailing I hope so mate, I am keeping up the 2 to 3 monthly reload coatings and even use megs xpress wax occasionally as a topper. Looks bloody fantastic!

[@chrislamoine883]

I think you have convinced me to go with 3.0 after the vid 👍 Subbed.

[@A5Motorsports]

Great video just ordered mine and will use your knowledge cheers from the uk

[@jonoklease5562]

Hey Sandro, Great review mate, my favourite part was for sure the close ups of the water behavior, it almost gets a bit hypnotised could watch that for hours. Any word on Concours bringing a new coating out in the near future? Cheers jono

[@Balt9mm]

Solid video man very informative. Thank you.

[@SS95170]

Great video and excellent content, will definitely give this coating a try in future. Keep up the great work.

[@mgrusso13]

Sandro , Great job , very knowledgeable!

[@alanwallace3253]

Thank You, helpful to me as I’m just going to apply this to my personal BMW’s first before I start any commercial applications. Aloha from Maui

[@AaronMattheus]

Wow, this video is spot on. Has all the info you need to know and shows it beautifully! Great narration aswell. The beading shots should be on another website than youtube hahaha! Seems like a very good product for the price with more other coatings such as gyeon syncro and kamikaze going well over 100 dollars.

[@hiitsdave35]

Great video! Thank you for sharing this information!

[@Kaijiro____93]

Is this recommended for doing at home following the process of proper wash method with snow foam/pressure wash, drying vehicle, hand or machine polish/buff then apply cquarts?

[@LaszloBazso]

Great video, I could easily understand it and finally, I feel confident applying it on my own car. Thank you!

[@AdrianSQ90]

Hi Sandro: Great vid. I have a question for you. I am about to ceramic coat a white 2012 Mercedes SLK. Paint in good condition. I would appreciate any correction to what I am planning: 1. rinse 2. Iron X whole car 3. rinse 4. Wash with Carpro wash 5. rinse 6. dry 7. clay bar 8. wipe car down with 50/50 alcohol solution. 9. Buff whole car with a foam pad and The last cut compound (do I need to use a final polish product after this)? 10. wipe car down with 50/50 alcohol solution. 11. Inspect paint and correct anything I missed 12. Apply CQuartz UK 3.0 13. Apply Carpro Gliss

[@richardtims676]

What process would you go through when the car,vehicle becomes dirty,some have said an ionidised water to wash vehicle with,not the general tap water

[@georgee686]

How gooods the reflection coming through those little droplets. Well done .

[@sbrick9589]

grate vid I have been hoping you would do one on this as after playing around with the 3.0 I was keep to see what others thourt about it. UK has always been a good money maker for me its at a price point where most people after a correction can afford I love evo but uk been a cheaper coating that just works really has helped my business

[@hillre14]

Thanks this video made my decision much easier

[@Captain-Donut]

Hi mate. Some excellent camera work. Not sure if car pro are aware of the great in-depth review of Application processes and overall tips. Great job as always. Love from the uk 🇬🇧

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day Sandro well you certainly proved its capabilities especially with the water beading test something that is needed in Tassie. It's not cheap but I think that I will give it a go now it's turned to winter, very good Sandro and helpful as usual regards John

[@paulclaeys7631]

Hi Sandro!! Super insightful, as always. Concerning the layering: is a 30 ml bottle enough for 2 layers? That is what I have at the moment (I have a Audi A4 Avant), and not able to buy anymore due to timing options. I also want to give an extra layer of SiC. Can I use, at least for some areas, CarPro Lite? That would be the sunroof, back window and some other small areas. Thnx man, you ALWAYS provide good advice!! 👊🏼👍🏼

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

On a mid sized car, 30ml will be close to do 2 layers - if you run short it shouldn’t be by too much - and yes you can layer and combine both SiC and Lite, all the Cquartz coating tend to work quite well with each other.

[@dbijlholt]

Thanks nice video! im preparing to instal mine tomorrow with 2 coats. Should you wait the 60 mins after you finished the whole car, or it starts after you applied to the first panel ? Maybe do like half the car first 2 coats then the other half ?

[@dbijlholt]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks!, i applied the coating succesfully, your tips helped me alot. It took me likr 1.5 hours to complete the first layer since it was the first time. Directly after i applied the second coat. Application was very easy, not grabby or anything. Result looks great. Do you think it is ok to expose it to rain after 24 hours with reload applied like a sacrificial layer ?

[@steveharrison3740]

Incredible close ups. Mesmerizing.

[@djjzz1234]

Hi Sandro I really want to try the CQ on our Mazda CX7 so will get some in the coming months your video ramped me up to try above the sealants I have used. But still loving the polish angel master sealant on the yellow peril !

[@nailbomb3]

I just watched the series where you did you Alfa and now feel I have a a good feel for using the Original UK, in warmer weather. One thing I don't think you mentioned: how big of a section do you feel you can get away with before wiping? Awesome channel. Thanks!

[@nailbomb3]

Thank you!

[@CAPTJ696]

Great assessment on 3.0 version Sandro!!!

[@James-ns6jm]

Original has TI02 in it which gives a better gloss effect while 3.0 is just Si02 and provides a longer durability compared to original. States this on their website. "With CQuartz Classic we replaced some of that si02 with ti02 which gives a slicker, more glossy finish but reduces the hardness of the final coat. " Also why do you put reload down before applying the coating? It doesn't tell you to do this. Only use reload anywhere upto a hour after the coating for extra protection. And keep using ever couple of months as a topper.

[@Gladiator1972]

So, apply one coat, wait an hour and apply another coat...let it cure for at least 7 days before getting the car wet?

[@allaneskildsen1994]

Top 3. Cquartz videos

[@GWHAWK87]

Great vid - well done

[@allaneskildsen1994]

What steps would you recomend for a brand new car? APC > Clay > IPA > Coating...? I would have to do it in 5 deg. C 1. Coating > 30 sec > wipedown? 2. Coating > 1 hour> repeat?

[@floflorian6085]

Is a 30ml bottle enough to coat a hatchback twice ? Or do I need the 50ml ?

[@joshkanhai5019]

Feynlab lite coating has no flash time. It's amazing to use for beginners

[@hualvin5614]

Hi Sandro, I love how you breakdown the steps on the application steps. I have with me a bottle of UK 3.0 which I first opened in Oct 2019. I last applied it on a colleagues white car in June 2021 & I'm surprised that the properties still holds up well & there wasn't any discolouration. I'm writing in to ask if it's still safe to use an opened bottle? Another 2 questions i have would be how's the flash time for UK3.0 & SIC in environment of working temperature 32⁰C & humidity around 85%.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Maybe have a look at the video below to help in determining the correct flash time for SiC or really almost any coating. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5urmZupi8qSpa8 It’s hard for me to guess flash times based on temp and humidity- I really have to be there and rest it out to find that out, but the video should help! Generally a closed bottle of most ceramic coatings stored in cool dark place should last a good year or two. An open bottle on the other hand should really be used within a month two a few months depending on how full the bottle is - The fuller it is the longer it will last.

[@lukemonaghan3875]

Thanks for the video Sandro. I've done my car with UK 3.0 a couple of days ago, only 1 coat. I've read on these comments you recommend 2 coats. Have I missed the window for a second coat?

[@lukemonaghan3875]

I should say I used Essence first, so should it have filled the pores in the paintwork like a first coat of UK 3.0 therefore negating the benefit of a 2nd coating somewhat?

[@rabieah2]

Great info and superb video shooting and production. Not only informative, but entertaining as well 😜. What other coatings would you put in the same class with CQuartz 3.0?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and there’s the CQ SiC, Gyeon Q2 Pure, Nv Nova Evo to name a few, I have a few reviews on the channel

[@rabieah2]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks Sandro! Will probably do the combo you did 3.0 topped with Sic. Quite late to respond from Down under 💤😴

[@James-pk4jf]

Is it alright to top these with sealant or waxes for even more protection? Sorry if this is a dumb question, Im about to buy a coating for my lancer. Do these coatings also offer a bit of scratch resistance for very soft japanese paints in your experience?

[@dimmacommunication]

Car Craft Auto Detailing Wich top coating would you suggest?

[@AriePGaming]

Great video, Mate! One question though, can we coat the windshield and the windows with this product? Cheers in advance!

[@hyejack10]

How long after applying can you drive the car or pull it out of garage? Also how long before first wash.?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

You should let it cure at least 24hrs before use and wait a week before the first wash - maybe this video will also help in looking after your coating: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIi8qqpjrrCAaaMsi=i6GLTzytwS-uvV7L

[@xXYannuschXx]

This looks alot easier to apply than I thought; I originally wanted to go with CarPro Lite when I get my new car, but "the real thing" looks also very easy to apply. I sadly dont have any way to to do two bucket wash in front of my house, only rinseless and dont have a garage; do you think its a good idea to use the UK 3.0 in such a condition, or should it only be used with proper preparation and the car protected from the outside?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It’s not so much that it has to be applied prior to a thorough decontamination and correction process, it just that it’s durability won’t tend to last as long if it’s not. But as long as you understand that you can still use it and it should still last for a reasonable amount of time. CQ Lite may be a better option in your case as you get lots of applications per bottle so you can reapply it more often without breaking the bank.

[@ioanisk1]

Thank you for the great tutorials. I have a question about the reload. What preparation do you require prior to applying the reload?

[@PeteyMcSavage]

I bet this was suppose to be an update to the normal CQuartz but from a marketing decision they went with their bread and butter CQUK

[@derverdachtige1406]

i need to know, how these gloves are called! i sweat that much in oneway silicone gloves

[@laochek]

Thank you for the video. Can i ask if i can use meguiars hybrid ceramic wax as s topper instead of reload is so expensive? Thank you.

[@brunopaty4860]

Is it possible to apply more than 1 coat?if so how long would it be best to wait?thanks man keep up the good work and reviews 👍 👏

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes you can layer it, and give or take 90mins depending on your environment is about right.

[@lmSteveo]

Should I add gliss on top or not even worth it since you kinda had a bad encounter with the gliss only lasting 6 months. Does the new gliss 1 direction really help gliss last longer ? I’m trying to just use 1 ceramic coating. Just for an easier washing experience.

[@walenrod17]

Awesome!! Thank you a lot!

[@mrjon75]

What's a "day-tella?" A bank teller who only works good hours?

[@Jmen-og8iv]

Great video! When applying two coats, should you do one coat to the entire car and then apply the second? Or should you apply both layers by sections? Thank you!

[@Jmen-og8iv]

Car Craft Auto Detailing got it, thank you!

[@Eii22]

sooo satisfying :D

[@7071t6]

Sandro just a question, basically you would need to remove all contaminants from the car panels, via either wax and grease remover, then correct any paint defects, clean the areas again and then apply the CQuartz to the panels and wipe off as you go, wait at least 1 hour depending on outside temp so in melbourne's winter weather, around say 2 hours and then apply 2nd coat, but if the cars paint surface is good and used say autoglym polish all over the car, will the coating still adhere to the surface or do you have to go through every single step, like decontamination via Tar, clay, iron treatments and wax/grease remover, before you apply the CQuartz 3.0 ?

[@dougmaverick3287]

How do you know when it's time to wipe off the excess ceramic coating?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

The new CQUK 3.0 is immediately wiped dusk after you apply it. Just make sure you throughly apply it with multiple cross hatching swipes and then level it down straight after.

[@twotwo-fm8pz]

I want to ask if you can put it in the glass.. ?? Thanks..

[@SecretSauceyjuice]

This is basically what I expected. It is too bad that they scrapped the original coating instead of just rebranding the original as Winter and calling the new coating Summer - or something like that.
