The Original is slicker just like Gliss right of out the box. Customers seem to really like that. Maybe this SiC will replace Gliss and not Original and provide a little more longevity, as you might have notice Gliss can wear off pretty quick if a customer uses car washes a lot.

Dear Pan, I have used it combining with other products of carpro. Mayby an idea or if you have comments, please let me know. Wash the car, decon it, clay, prep and polish. Afterwards carpro essence using the carpro gloss pad. Gives another tiny bit of cutting, swirl filling, gloss enhancer and a base for the ceramic coating. Had better results, in my opinion, by first applying Sic and then UK. It gives the slickness of Sic and the more durabilty of UK. Then protected it with Essence +, again using the carpro gloss pad. Which gives even a lot more gloss. Then topped it with Reload. In my opion a great result. With Kind regards from a small detailer in Belgium. Last but not least, I like your channel.

Pan, have you applied the SiC to a full car yet or just test panels? Also, when you open a ceramic coat bottle, how long can you keep the open bottle on the shelf for?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I have applied it to a few test vehicles absolutely. I like to follow the progress and durability over months before drawing final conclusions in my head. Typically, you want to use the bottle maximum 1 year after opening it. And for the majority of chemicals, shelf life is 1 to 2 years if unopened, and kept in stable conditions (i.e. non freezing).

[@jodyh8108]

Your reviews are over the top thorough. I watched over 2 years ago and did the 2 coats of CQ and 1 top with Sic. My question now is how do you maintain it?

Yes, my BMW still has the Opti-Coat Pro+ pro grade 7+ year ceramic coating on it. That's not what I used for testing SiC obviously. It wouldn't be fair to compare a consumer grade coating, SiC, to a professional grade coating, Opti-Coat Pro+, which costs a fortune more.

Helpful info as always..thaks, Pan ! Selection is becoming dizzying - hard to figure out what to work with. Would also be helpful if you or associates someday do commentary on "dealer applied" finishes (paint and glass sealers) - any good? : my personal experience with Allstate "brand" was paint sealant proved short lived and 2-part glass sealer excelled in gluing wipers to windshield.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If by "dealer applied" you mean the cheap crap they use at car dealerships before they deliver a brand new car to a customer, I would stay away from that! In fact, when I buy a new car every three years, I make it clear to the sales rep that I only want the car to be washed so I can inspect it on delivery. No waxes, no sealants on the paint, no interior dressing, no tire dressing, NOTHING. I want to bring it home and detail it myself.

Just to be clear, full blown ceramic coatings like CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 are far superior to spray on protection. 303 Graphene Spray Coating will last 10-12 months, compared to CQuartz that will last 2+ years. You can’t really compare both as they are different categories. If you liked CQuartz, you should stick with it. 👍🏻

Hi Pan. I get your point, on putting on 2 coats of the CQUARZ 3.0, then suggesting a coat of the SIC?

I’d love to be able to prep the paint, and add one great coat, or maybe 2, but 3 is going into the excessive boundaries, no? Can you recommend one, that would protect, and have great gloss, and hydrophobic tendencies? Thanks👍

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks! You would apply SiC like Gliss, meaning 4 hours after the last coat of CQuartz UK 3.0

[@levrac68]

Good morning... Love your channel. Great info, and enjoyable to watch. I'm taking your advice and will be topping Cquartz UK 3.0 (2 coats) with Cquartz SIC. How long after applying the 3.0 should I wait to apply the SIC? I work rather slowly so I'm looking for an acceptable range. I've read some wait 24 hrs between each of the 3 coats and others say 45 to 60 minutes between each. It'll be my first time ceramic coating, Thank you

[@PanTheOrganizer]

As it's not something officially supported by CarPro, it's a lot of trial and error. One thing is for sure, you apply the first layer of CQuartz UK 3.0, wait 45-60 minutes, then apply the second layer. Then, wait 3 to 4 hours, and apply the layer of SiC. Wait 24 hours without exposing the vehicle to water or rain. Wait a full 14 days before washing the car.

[@levrac68]

@@PanTheOrganizer Unfortunately I'm way too slow at the application process to get two coats done anywhere close to that time. It took me a few hours to do my first coat. Tight space in my garage and I've got to move my lights around for all four sides. I'm hoping the second coat can go on tomorrow without a problem then I'll see if I have the energy for the coat of SIC. Thanks for the response.

Good day Pan I love your channel and your videos. I have applied 2 Coats of UK 3.0 and after 2 weeks I want to top it with SiC. Can this be done?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes

[@jesusverdugo2537]

Absolutely beautiful way to start the day👍

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Heheh awesome! I hope you enjoyed the video!

[@paiensivar5358]

nice video, which one is better for you? Carpro Quartz UK3.0 or Adams new adanced Graphene ceramic coating ?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Two different types of products. The Adam's is also way more expensive. And it's still too new to the market, nobody was able to test for many years yet. But on paper, if you want the longest lasting, it should be the Adam's. If you want the easiest to apply, best price, and still get 2 years of protection, the CQUK 3.0 is the one.

[@paiensivar5358]

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks! I think I'll give Adams a chance thanks again!

[@gsaldana87]

Great review of CQuartz SiC. I have a question: I have already applied CQuartz Uk 3.0 to my vehicle a couple of weeks ago, if I want to apply CQuartz SiC over the ceramic coat, do I have to make all the prep work? Can I apply it just by doing just chemical decontamination? what do you recommend for having a better result?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Wash, dry, IPA wipe with CarPro Eraser and apply one coat of SiC.

[@MLGInfidel1]

I'm curious about what products are your favorites. So many options, from so many companies its crazy. Trying to "keep it clean and keep it tight" is becoming more confusing. Ceramic? Graphene? Black ice? Spray? Liquid? etc. We need a "Pan's Top Ten List' of your favorite products.

Hello, will make my BMW X3 3,0D in carbon black after the great video also with the CQuartz UK 3.0 and CarPro CQuartz SiC, have always used Zaino for many years. Wants to do a ceramic coating now. Greetings from Germany.

[@corygaines001]

So should I use one or two coats of SiC on top of 2 coats of UK 3.0?

[@scottmacewen4608]

Great vid Pan…going to give the SiC a spin..would a 30 ml bottle do 2 mid sized cars, giving each 2 coatings?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

That would be near the limit. Perhaps get two 30 ml bottles, or one 50 ml to be safe. I don't know how much you use. Everyone is different in the quantity they use. Thanks for watching Scott!

[@gerardgibson9252]

Pan, Would it possible for you to do a full paint prep, application, and finish process, comparing AvalonKing Armorshield IX with CarPro SIC? Would be really curious to see how these are processed, and the final result, side by side? I have used CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 on my E class (prepped all required steps), and was very disappointed, the chemical evaporated way too fast and had to use more than usual, and worst part, it did not leave a slick feeling like AvalonKing when I used it on my GLE. Thank you.

[@ThomasYT-]

I was excited and hoped it would be permanently bond like Opti-Coat Pro SiC.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The costs to such a coating would probably have been 5-6 more expensive and reserved for professional use only if that was the case...

[@alvin3502]

How do you actually topped uk 3.0 with sic?... You could definitely do a video showing and teaching how to do that

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It's not an officially supported combo from CarPro, so there are no official instructions on this. You have to find the optimal time in your conditions to find out how much time between layers.

[@oneday9312]

Whats better this you are reviewing or the GLASSPARENCY GRAPHENE COATING ?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I still need more years of testing on the GlassParency as it's still fairly new and nobody was able to test it for more than 2 years yet. The CQuartz UK 3.0 has always been my favourite consumer grade ceramic coating and lasts a solid 2 years. But the GlassParency graphene coating also has its place in my annual car detailing products awards for best graphene coating, like in my most recent edition here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpynY2WLfNqdo9k

[@paulquickmire4140]

Hi Pan, another great video. Sorry I'm a bit late to the party, I'm not that confident in applying a ceramic coating to our brand new car (I've got a good quote from a local detailer to apply it for me) but my question is how long after the initial ceramic coating is applied before I put the sic coating on or should I just stick with sio2 detailing sprays as the topper for now?? Thanks in advance.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

1 hour between the 2 coats of CQuartz UK 3.0, then wait 4 hours, and apply the SiC.

[@mvtoh81]

Great fan of your videos, Pan! I have a question on SiC...given that there is "carbide" was there any noticeable difference in the hardness of this coating?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

What do you mean "hardness"? There is no way to really measure that on paintwork. It's a ceramic coating, like the other CarPro coatings. The formulation is different, but the end result is similar to the touch, just more slickness compared to UK 3.0

[@mvtoh81]

@@PanTheOrganizer By hardness I meant an increase resistance to minor scratches and swirls that come about from regular washing or waterless wash.

[@r81365]

So is this UK 3.0 a ceramic coating or something to maintain a ceramic coating?

SiC is a full blown ceramic coating, like CQuartz UK 3.0. It's not a maintenance product.

[@r81365]

@@PanTheOrganizer also I don't have anywhere else to put this coating on my car other than direct sunlight I do not have a garage and I do not have room for a cloth tent I can put my car under do you have any tips for me putting us in a direct sun?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Unfortunately, no brand can give you tips to apply coatings in direct sunlight, as all of them specifically mention not to do that. So you do this at your own risk. If you have to apply it outside that's fine, but do it in the shade, on a cool surface, and wait until the end of the day, when it's not blazing hot like at noon. Also, make sure you cover the vehicle after application if you think it might rain during the 24 hours of curing required by most coatings. Do things the right way. Do not apply a true coating in direct sunlight.

[@r81365]

Thanks for all the advice!

[@gabevancappellen6090]

Can you recommend a good respirator to use while applying coatings? Always wore a N95 mask in the past while using Spray Waxes and Interior cleaners. This year I’ve done 3 CQuartz UK 3.0, love the product but the smell is really bothering me. Love the channel.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I don't wear masks in videos as it prevents the sound from coming out good from my mouth (sound quality). But when I work without filming, I will simply wear the one that comes in some coating kits like Gyeon kits. N95 is an even better option. I also always wear gloves as I don't want chemicals on my skin.

[@joelpasserell4525]

Any chance you can get your hands on and do a test of system X diamond that they advertise as "lifetime" ceramic coating? I'm curious whenever I hear lifetime if it actually works. They also have a 6yr which would be more apples to apples with the Duraslic or ROAR? Keep up the awesome reviews!

[@kristofferhauge589]

So after applying 2 layers of 3.0, should you use reload before applying SiC? And / or should you use reload after applying SiC? Also, it would be great if you could compare Gyeon Syncro ''system'' with these CarPro products combined!

You would not use Reload if you’re applying SiC.
