Introducing CarPro CQuartz & ReLoad Sealant: The Very Best Protection For Your Vehicle!
CarPro C.Quartz: Ceramic Quartz is the next generation protective coating for painted surfaces, glass and wheels. Cquartz offers an extremely durable hard glass coat (with a high-gloss shine), which protects auto finishes for up to two years. Protection against minor scratches, swirl marks, acid rain, bird droppings and harmful UV rays. This is not a sealer which forms a sacrificial shield of protection (e.g. wax). Instead, it is a modification of the surface chemistry at the molecular level, to provide a permanent (easy-to-clean) protective surface. Cquartz contains ceramic nano particles, which form an ultra hard layer of protection, with a superior anti-scratch effect than conventional coatings. High adhesion to the treated surface and long term durability. Cquartz (with Hydrophobic effect) works by repelling water and preventing the adherence of contaminants. At microscopic level, automotive paintwork has peaks and valleys, so dirt and grime builds up relatively quickly. Cquartz (having sealed paint pores and smoothened the surface) allows dirt to wash off more easily, providing a clean surface and with less propensity for water marks. This unique coating has Anti-Calcium Effect ... with most sealants dried water spots penetrate the coating, making removal far more difficult. The ceramic quartz coating is long lasting and UV stable. It cannot be removed by water, alkaline or other detergents, nor using high pressure washing equipment. The Cquartz treated surface is guaranteed to keep its original clarity and transparency. Cquartz can be applied to any surface: paintwork, glass, wheels, plastics and rubber trim.
Note: Before CQuartz can be applied, a vehicle needs to have all painted surfaces cleaned (dewaxed, decontaminated) and polished to a very high standard (using silicone-free polishes only). Polishing oils should also be removed by wiping down surface with CarPro Eraser (intensive oil and polish residue remover), before the application of CQuartz. (Alternatively, pre-clean / wipe down with a mix of 90% IPA + 10% CarPro IronX Soap Gel, then pressure rinse and fully dry treated surfaces). The product must not be applied on surfaces contaminated with silicone, oil, polymer or wax. Only apply CQuartz in a cool, dry environment with good lighting and ventilation. Never apply in direct sunlight or when the surface is hot to the touch. Apply CQuartz in straight line strokes (not circular motions), with a criss-cross pattern for evener coverage on panels.
Important: During the first ten minutes, any areas which are missed or not coated can be treated. But only during this timeframe. Do not attempt to re-fill missing spots at a later stage, otherwise it will mark paintwork.
Post Application: Wait 30~45 minutes (dependent on temperature, humidity, thickness of layer etc) for haze to form and then gently wipe off residue with soft (short-loop) microfibre cloths. Avoid re-using these cloths in future as they will harden and crystallise. Allow the coating to dry for between one hour (25 Degrees C) or three hours (15 Degrees C). The curing process may also be accelerated by using IR lighting. We strongly recommend applying two coats of CQuartz. This will increase coating thickness, surface hardness (scratch-resistance) and overall durability. Please allow sufficient time for the first coating to cure.
After Care: Avoid washing the vehicle with any soap for the first week following application. Rinsing down with water is fine. When washing use a high quality car wash shampoo without wax (or CarPro IronX Soap Gel) and a soft wash mitt. Avoid using filling station or automatic car washes (hand wash only using the two bucket method). Always remove bird droppings from paintwork as soon as possible. If left untreated for several days, they can etch the coating. Use CarPro ReLoad Sealant Spray periodically to maintain the coating - boost gloss levels, slickness and water repellency or as a drying aid after washing.
CarPro IronX (Spray): Highly effective, acid-free and pH balanced (6~7pH) car paint, glass and alloy wheel cleaner (safe for all clear coated alloys). This formulation is also effective and safe for use on all automotive surfaces and will not deteriorate clear coats. Note: It is recommended to avoid contact with chrome trim, bare metal parts, brake calipers, wheel balancing weights, SMART paint repairs (please mask same) and above all, avoid letting IronX dry out on treated surfaces. Simply rinse away with a strong stream of fresh water. IronX contains unique chemical ingredients that effectively dissolve sintered iron, by forming a water soluble iron complex. The IronX Decontamination System was developed as a method of removing contamination beyond what can be removed by washing or claying. If you are familiar with detailing clay, you know it is capable of removing contaminants proud of the surface. IronX is designed to remove what lies beneath the paint surface. Airborne chemical compounds and ferrous particles - particles containing iron - actually penetrate the paint and create corrosive compounds that eat deep into the paint's sub-layers or pin-holes. This is a gradual process that often is not evident until it's too late. Claying or polishing only removes the particle, not the effects, which are continuing to spread beneath the surface. During normal daily use of your vehicle, brake dust and road grime become sintered to the surface of paint and wheels, due to the high temperature and conditions they are normally exposed to. Brake dust contains high levels of iron and once sintered to the rim, become extremely difficult to dissolve or remove, without the use of harsh chemicals. IronX opens paint pores to release ferrous particles and to neutralise caustic compounds, that have developed in the paint's sub-surface. Ongoing damage is stopped immediately and future damage is prevented by removing these ferrous particles. IronX sprays on as a transparent liquid solution. As the cleansing liquid begins to work, the formula turns purple/red in colour. This purple/red colouration is the IronX cleaner forming a bond to the sintered iron and changing it to a water soluble complex for easy removal. After five minutes or thereabouts, treated surfaces are wiped down and rinsed thoroughly with a pressure washer. When the entire vehicle has been completed, it is then ready for claying and/or polishing.
CarPro IronX Soap Gel: This product opens paint pores to release ferrous particles and neutralise caustic compounds that have developed in the paint's subsurface. Ongoing damage is immediately stopped and future damage is prevented by removing the ferrous particles. As the cleansing liquid begins to work into the dirt and grime, the formula turns purple/red in colour. This purple/red colouration is the Soap Gel forming a bond to the sintered iron on paintwork (or alloy wheels) and changing it's state to a water soluble complex for easy removal. Stubborn, baked on grime may take a small amount of agitation. Rinse treated surfaces thoroughly with a power washer and wipe dry.
CarPro ReLoad Sealant (Spray): The fastest and most effective spray sealant, spray-on and wipe-off! ReLoad is a water-based product, mainly composed from special modified silicon polymers (not silicone) ... a glass based coating. ReLoad will leave a temporary layer and shield of protection on the applied surface. It has hydrophobic water repellency and a high-gloss appearance. Very easy to use. For enthusiasts or professional detailers alike. A durable coating and cost effective. Versatile - can be used on either a wet (damp) or dry surface. Washing the car will be quick and easy, leaving less water marks on the surface. (ReLoad can also be used to top-up the Cquartz coating). ReLoad gives up to 4 months durability on auto paintwork and a high-gloss shine. ReLoad can be used on any paint, glass, plastic and rubber trim.
