When applying a ceramic coating like CARPRO CQUARTZ UK you must make sure the paintwork is properly decontaminated. This may involve utilising iron removers to chemically break down contamination, and/or using a clay bar with a suitable lubricant to mechanically abrade contaminants. You can learn all about the types of vehicle contamination, along with how to remove them in our detailing guide here.

1. Wash your car with any suitable car wash
   *(avoid using any “wash & coat” style product, that has protection infused in the wash for maintenance)*
2. Perform a decontamination process with suitable products such as iron removers, clay bars & lubricants.
3. It's then a good idea to give the car a quick wash after decontamination to ensure any oils or residue leftover is removed.
4. Once all clean and decontaminated, you may want to perform some machine polishing to ensure any scratches, swirls and marring have been removed, and you can unlock even more clarity in the paintwork. As we are going to be locking in this finish for years to come, it can greatly increase the level of your finish by performing some machine polishing. If you want to learn how to cut and polish your car, check out our detailing guide here, or simply browse some of our ready to go car polisher kits such as the Waxit Enthusiast Polishing Kit.
5. Once the car is all ready to go, give the car a quick wipe down with a suitable prep spray such as CARPRO Eraser before we coat.
6. We can begin our application steps of applying C.QUARTZ UK. Start by mapping out a 60cm x 60cm area, and apply 4-6 drops of product along the suede cloth wrapped around the applicator block.
7. Apply the product in vertical motions throughout the area, and then overlap again with horizontal passes to provide full application coverage.
8. When applied, you will see the coating start to flash almost immediately, creating a “rainbow effect” as the solvents begin to evaporate.
9. Wait approximately 1-2 minutes, and then level the coating and remove any residue. (Environment/Weather dependant)
10. If your wipe off feels super slick and oily, then you’ve wiped off too quick - if your wipe off feels grabby and a bit difficult to level then you have probably waited a bit too long. You want to feel a touch of grip when removing, that’s the sweet spot.
11. Don’t stress out too much however, what makes C.QUARTZ UK so great is its very forgiving to apply. Wiping off anytime between really 1-5 minutes can provide great results, but getting the sweet spot can give you a bit better performance.
12. Once completed, start moving on and replicating all over the rest of the car!
13. After the first coat is done, you can apply another layer of C.QUARTZ UK. This can help improve performance, but anything more than 2 coatings we feel isn’t necessary, and gives diminishing returns.
14. To apply another layer, wait approximately 1.5 - 3 hours (if it’s hotter, stick closer to 1.5, colder more to 3 hours). Apply the same way.
