CARPRO CQUARTZ UK 4.0 | Ceramic Coating · 30mL Kit$88.76 About CARPRO CQUARTZ UK 4.0
CARPRO's fourth-generation UK coating, reworked to be easier to apply and tougher on water spots.
Most coatings that go wrong don't fail because of the product. They fail on timing. Wipe too early and it smears. Leave it too long and you're chasing high spots under the garage lights.
UK 4.0 is the fourth generation of CARPRO's CQUARTZ UK. CARPRO reformulated it with a new blend of hybrid synthetic polymers, and they slowed the drying down on purpose. You now get a 7 to 10 minute flash before you buff, which gives you real breathing room on a warm day or a big panel. The result? Far less chance of leaving a high spot behind.
You also get more out of the finish. UK 4.0 is glossier and slicker than earlier UK versions, it resists water spotting better, and it's rated for up to 3 years of protection. The water spotting is the one Aussies will notice, with hard water, sprinklers and summer rain all doing their damage. It's an easy ceramic coating to get right if it's your first, and quick enough for detailers doing it every week. If you want more chemical resistance for a car that sees harsher washes, CQUARTZ SiC is better suited.
Prep is what makes it last. Decontaminate with an iron remover, CARPRO TarX and clay, then wipe down with CARPRO Eraser so the coating bonds to bare paint. Buff off with a short-nap towel like the CARPRO 2 Face, and finish with a plush cloth like the Aquatouch ACE Heavyweight. Once it's on, a hit of CARPRO Release after 3 hours protects it if it rains. Keep it topped up with a spray coating such as Reload 2.0.
If UK 3.0 was already your go-to, UK 4.0 is the easy upgrade.
