Thanks... I am going to be trying some polishes within the next few weeks and will post how they work. Let us know how yours turns out with the CQuartz (especially with Black) and if it makes it easier to maintain in the long run. *Keep in mind if you tint using the Chrystalline only, you can get the reddish/purple hue and is particularly visible on black cars. Looking forward to seeing your pics!
So the guys at Autowerx here, spent 12.5 hours prepping, washing, detailing, polishing, washing again (because our neighbor decided to blow off his driveway during all this, dust flying everywhere thank you, even tho we were in my garage and across the street), then they erase/wipe any chemicals off, and finally putting on two robust coats of C.Quartz. The work they do is beyond anal, beyond anyone's expectations... they're quiet paint finish fanatics! It's truly amazing.
I know (outside of factory baked in orange peel), my car's finish would win awards... it's that good. With black any imperfection shows, and they got this to a blemish-free, mirror-like status.
After all their work in washing, blow drying, and prep, he showed me with a bright flashlight, looking directly into the paint, how you could still see minors water spots and other imperfections. These are things you can't see normally otherwise. And my car is only three weeks old, and only a couple of careful two-bucket washes on it. After their polishing, (not sure what they used), they put on two robust coats of C.Quartz. This stuff is buffed and then cures over 24 hours and needs to wait a week before the next wash. They literally are adding a glass like layer on top of your factory clear coat.
I'm a believer (in case you can't tell). They've read the forum posts on polishes and gloss coat tests here, and their research still puts this at the top. One of the most durable coatings you can put on top of your factory finish. Comes with a two year minimum warranty.
I'm waiting for him to put pics up showing a side-by-side panel comparison of my car.
I have a couple pics of them working here (btw, it was 90-95 most of the day, and 75% humidity, not normal around here)...
It's hard not to talk these guys up, or the product, because I don't think this car's paint and finish can be any more perfect or truly stunning than it is now. Kind of don't want to take the car out, rather enter in a show first, but I know with the PPF on the front, and it's complete coating, it's armored up and ready for the daily commute.
