CARPRO CQUARTZ UK 3.0 - Ceramic Coating for Cars - (30ml Kit w/Reload 2.0)

See attached video review for the 2 year update since initial application. Original review is below: Pictures do not do justice for this product, but first some pros and cons: Pros: -Excellent product has amazing effects and protection for your car. -Very user friendly, even for weekend warriors. -Although expensive, should be a good value due to longevity. -Way better than legacy products like waxes, sealants, etc. This is on a whole new level. Cons: -From reading reviews and my own experience, vendor is regularly delivering expired product. While it is unknown how expiration will effect longevity, product was tackier than normal. If you get expired product, send it back. I could not due to my time constraints. Do not support poor fulfillment. -A tremendous amount of prep work is required to get best results. That’s not necessarily a negative as you need to put in the sweat to get good results like so much in life. Be prepared to spend 6, 8, or 12 hours or more on prep work like wash, clay, decontamination, compound (if necessary), polish, IPA wipe, and 2 applications. -Get a big bag of fresh microfiber towels from Costco or similar and use them once during application, then toss them. They will cause scratches in your finish is you try to use again, even after washing. -Get yourself extra applicator pads. You will need them and be happy you change them frequently. This product is the real deal. Check out your applicator pads a couple of days after you used them and you’ll see why it’s important to change frequently and never reuse microfiber used during application (pads become rock hard). Water behavior and sheeting of dirt is really incredible. I’ve never seen beading like this before, and you can even use water to dry your car as illustrated in the attached video. All those hours of hard prep work will now be sealed for 24 months or more, making maintenance washing a breeze. You might not even need to use soap or a wash mitt in the future because so much is repelled. Overall great product but disappointing that vendor is delivering expired products. If yours is expired, send it back. I’m sure the manufacturer would prefer you do that as to not soil their reputation. If you get pushback I’m sure your credit card issuer would back you in a dispute. Expiration dates exist for a purpose. UPDATE: I did my first contact wash since application 2 months ago and it was the easiest car wash I’ve ever done. Very happy to see water performing as advertised and what little dirt that was on it i think came off with the initial rinse. I really didn’t notice any dirt in my bucket or microfiber wash mit although I’m sure there was some. I think I spent 30 minutes total on washing and most of that time was setting up the garden hose, filling the bucket, and getting an extension cord along with micro fiber towels which I didn’t even use. I dried the car with a leaf blower and the water flew off. I did add a topper of Griots Ceramic Wax since I’ve had great success with it as a stand alone and I prefer that over Carpro Reload. That process took an additional 20 minutes or so and was a breeze. Keep in mind when viewing the pictures that this is a 4 year old used car (50k miles) and a daily driver that is not garaged, although it is in an open parking deck. It has over 2,500 miles on it since the initial application. I’m very happy with the results and the longevity so far. I hope to enjoy the same ease of use and success over the next couple of years and will keep updating. Update: 4 Months since application and went to do a contact wash. First rinsing the car, the beading is still doing as good as the day applied - see captioned photo. Was the easiest and fastest wash ever. Looked better than new when done.

First, I just wanted to say, WOW, the level of gloss from this ceramic coating is unbelievable. Completely transforms the looks of my 16 year G35! This was my second time applying a ceramic coating, so I am still a bit of a noob when it comes to this, but I had an overall great experience with Carpro's product. My prior experience with a ceramic coating was using Avalon King's IX coating on my Elantra N, however I am pretty disappointed with their product. I followed all the correct steps, however after just 3 months, it started to degrade in the most sun-prone areas (roof, windshield, hood). Since my vehicles sit outside 24/7/365, it is important to me that my cars are properly protected against the elements. So, I did some research and saw many youtubers recommending Carpro UK 3.0 and decided to give them a shot! For those wondering, this does take awhile to do, so I would recommend blocking off a weekend. Start to finish took me about 14-15 hours (wash, iron decon, clay, compound, polish, prep spray/wipe, 2 layers of the ceramic and one topper layer of Reload). Of those 14 hours, the last 4 or so hours was applying the coating itself. It's best to go slow and watch for high spots. The 3.0UK ceramic coating does come off pretty easily, just like the Avalon kings armor shield IX. The Reload however was a PAIN to buff off. Did as the instructions said, however, I found multiple streaks around my car which I didn't notice until the next day. Some came off easily, some did not. Make sure you have extra good lighting when applying Reload and spend some good time removing it. Even though I had some small hiccups, the results speak for themselves. I don't think I have ever seen such deep gloss and mirror-like paint with any previous products I've used. Thoroughly impressed and I wish I had found out about Carpro's ceramic coating earlier! I can't wait to apply it on my other vehicles! Will update on longevity.

3rr time using this product. This one came with a required spray. As all ceramics the prep is where its at. Product applies easy. Honestly easiest part of the whole process. Due to time and weather restrictions, I didnt get 2 coats on or the cure time required. But having the inclement weather and after work immediately to a car wash very evident the product did its job. Less effort to clean and shedding water. Definitely suggest this product.

Great product! Was applied last week on my black sedan. So far it’s phenomenal. Even after rain, no water spots, no dust from the road. Looks brand new

I recently purchased and applied the CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0_30ml Kit w/Reload on my vehicle. I have a small, two door fabric top convertible, so no roof application. The 30ml kit was just barely enough to apply the recommended two coats, and I stress barely. Anything larger than a small two door will likely need the next larger size. And the last thing you'll want after taking the time and effort, and enduring the back pain making to make sure your paint is near perfect before you apply the ceramic coating is to run out of product before the end. Which leads me to my only gripe with this product, and that is the number of suede applicators that are provided with the 30ml kit. They only give you 5, and they tell you to switch out the applicator after every ~2 panels or so. This is because the ceramic coating begins to dry on the suede applicator, and since it's a glass product, can begin to scratch your paint if you use it too long. However as I mentioned earlier, they recommend 2 coats. My vehicle has a total of 10 panels (most cars have more), which equals 5 suede applicators for 1 coat. In order to apply the 2nd recommended coat, I had to stop the project after the first coat and re-order more suede applicator pads. Keep this in mind and maybe order the extras ahead of time so your project is not delayed. I'm disappointed they don't provide enough suede applicators for the recommended 2 coats, for almost for $70! It's the misses like this that make the difference between 5 star and 4 star reviews. I can't comment on how well this product works yet because it's only been on the vehicle for a week, but I can tell you applying the product is not difficult. Follow the installation instructions and you should be fine. I did get sloppy on one panel and had one area where the product was built up and dried like that. Do not continue to buff these areas or your risk introducing scratches and it won't help knocking it down. I've read where people actually took out their DA polisher and hit these "high spots". However, I found that spraying only the high-spot area with the included Reload re-activated the coating and allowed me to then buff the high spot out. Youtube is a great resource for applying this product, so watch all of the videos you can before starting. Enjoy the process, many happy miles, and to quote the late, great Neil Peart from Rush, "..to keep it as new has been his dearest dream." -Red Barchetta

Used this to coat my new wheels to keep them protected and shiny before they were installed. It's been a few months and they look amazing and resist dirt/grime well. Only need a light wash with a microfiber towel periodically. Highly recommend.

First I have to say be prepared to put some work in first. Watch a few videos and take your time. You will be rewarded with awesome results. For the price of this I really do not think that there is really anything that can compare. For about 70 dollars waxing will be a thing of the past. I put this on in August it is now November and still looks amazing. The total time to completely finish was about 3 days. After washing, claying, buffing, I thought it was never going to end. I kept thinking I really hope this is worth it. Well I have to say it was. Washing takes little to no effort. Sometimes even just a quick spray looks amazing. If you take the effort (about and hour) completely wash and dry. Your car looks like you spent all weekend detailing it. I use my vehicle daily and use it for work so it is in all conditions all times of day. So spending hours upon hours detailing my car every week was just not feasible. This definitely did the trick. It is basically just a maintenance wash once a week and a good wash and dry once a month and it looks beautiful. So I messed up a little when I was doing my car. I went way to heavy in the beginning and when I got to the end of the job I did not have enough to do my roof. It is ok though because that is my control. I only applied the reload to the roof and not the ceramic coat. All I can say is you can tell. My roof defiantly does not have the wet waxy look as the rest of the car. I will add some to the roof in the spring when I add another coat just for fun to see if it can look any better. I would suggest this to anyone who is not afraid of hard work and really likes to enjoy the fruit of their labor. This is one product that hard work and dedication pays off in the end. So go ahead and purchase if you are not afraid of a little elbow grease. Hope this help you decide to purchase

Easy to apply. Obviously do the work on proper decom, and paint corrections as needed. Coverage is good. 1 bottle is was able to did cover a Honda CR-V with 2 coats. I'll try to post updates on long term reliability.

This coating is very easy to apply to a properly prepared surface free of defects and previous coatings, waxes, etc. It spreads well and is easily removed within 1 to 2 minutes depending on the temperature you are working in. The gloss and slickness is excellent, my soul crystal red MX5 looks amazing after coating.

Es un excelente producto, el acabo lo deja más brillante y aparte la hidrofobia es muy buena, solo que al aplicarlo si tengan cuidado con no dejarlo secar porque si puede dejar manchas, pero se pueden solucionar con el eraser

Me llegó el CarPro CQUK 3.0 y quise compartir una primera impresión del kit. El paquete llegó en excelente estado, bien protegido y sin ningún daño. Algo que me gustó bastante es que el producto es de fabricación 2025, así que está bastante fresco. El kit viene bastante completo: incluye aplicadores, microfibras y algo que considero un plus muy útil, el Reload 2.0. Esto lo hace más conveniente, sobre todo si quieres darle mantenimiento o reforzar la protección después de aplicar el coating. En cuanto a presentación y calidad, todo se siente original y bien cuidado. Aún no lo aplico, pero por lo que incluye y el estado en el que llegó, da muy buena impresión inicial.
