Expert Notes

CarPro CQUARTZ Lite 2.0 is the easier entry point into the CQUARTZ ceramic coating system. It is designed for enthusiasts, mobile detailers and professionals who want proper ceramic coating behaviour without moving straight into a more demanding coating process. The 2.0 formula is built around easier application across a wide temperature range, with CarPro stating tested use from 10°C to 50°C. Once correctly applied to clean, prepared paintwork, it gives a deep gloss, slick hydrophobic finish and resistance to chemicals, UV damage and environmental fallout. This is still a real coating, so preparation matters. Wash, decontaminate, polish where needed, wipe down correctly and work in controlled sections so every area is levelled properly before curing.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Gloss paintwork
  • Clear coat
  • Automotive paintwork
  • Show cars
  • Weekend cars
  • Daily driven vehicles

Caution: Do not apply to dirty, oily or contaminated surfaces. Avoid matte paint, satin paint, textured plastics, rubber trim, unpainted plastics, fabric, leather, glass and unknown sensitive finishes unless suitability has been confirmed by the manufacturer. Any high spots must be removed during application.

How To Use

Paint preparation

  1. Wash the vehicle thoroughly.
  2. Remove iron contamination where required.
  3. Remove tar contamination where required.
  4. Clay the paint if bonded contamination remains.
  5. Polish the paint if defects need correcting.
  6. Remove polishing oils and residue with a suitable panel wipe.
  7. Make sure the surface is clean, cool and dry.
  8. Inspect the paint under strong lighting before coating.

Application setup

  1. Work in a well-ventilated area.
  2. Wear suitable gloves during application.
  3. Do not smoke during application.
  4. Shake CQUARTZ Lite 2.0 before use.
  5. Open the bottle carefully and point it away from your face.
  6. Use a supplied applicator.
  7. Complete a small test section first if you have not used ceramic coatings before.

Coating application

  1. Apply product to the applicator.
  2. Spread CQUARTZ Lite 2.0 across a small paint section.
  3. Use overlapping passes for even coverage.
  4. Keep the layer thin and consistent.
  5. Move panel by panel around the vehicle.
  6. Do not apply to trims, rubber or unconfirmed surfaces.
  7. Watch the coating flash under good lighting.
  8. Wipe off residue within the correct window.

Levelling and wipe-off

  1. In most climates, remove residue within 5 to 30 minutes.
  2. In higher heat or direct sun, keep the wipe-off time shorter.
  3. Use clean microfibre towels for residue removal.
  4. Check the panel from multiple angles.
  5. Remove high spots before they cure.
  6. Do not reuse coating wipe-off towels on paint after initial use.
  7. Do not reuse used coating applicators.

Optional second coat

  1. Apply a second coat only if required.
  2. Apply the second coat within 45 to 60 minutes from the start of the first coat.
  3. Keep the second coat thin and even.
  4. Level and wipe off carefully.
  5. Check all panels under strong lighting.

After application

  1. Keep the surface dry for at least 1 hour.
  2. Gently remove any water during the first 24 hours.
  3. Avoid detergents and chemicals for 5 days where possible.
  4. Allow the coating to cure before heavy washing.
  5. Maintain with suitable CarPro wash and maintenance products.

Top Tip: Do not rush the preparation. CQUARTZ Lite 2.0 is easier to apply than many coatings, but it still needs clean, decontaminated and oil-free paintwork to bond properly.

Performance Benefits

  • Adds up to two years of ceramic paint protection
  • Creates strong water-beading behaviour

The Brand

CarPro

CarPro is the car care brand behind CQUARTZ, one of the ceramic coatings that brought nano-protection from professional detailing studios to everyday enthusiasts. Founded in 2009 by car enthusiasts, CarPro develops and makes its products in its own laboratory and factory, and it has grown from a single coating into a complete system for paint, glass, wheels, tyres, plastics, leather and fabric.

The range is built to work together. The shampoos and snow foams clean a coated car without leaving gloss enhancers or silicones that would mask the coating, and the compounds and polishes are body shop safe, with no fillers to hide defects. The same products suit a first-time coating at home and the upkeep of a professional CQUARTZ installation.

At The Drivers HQ we stock the CarPro products our customers use most, from Reset shampoo and IronX fallout remover to the CQ UK 3.0 coating, with much of the range on the shelf at our Ilkeston shop.

The CarPro range: prepare, protect, maintain

CarPro organises its products around the order you work on a car, which makes it easy to build a kit that suits your car and the time you have.

Prepare. Clean and decontaminate first. Lift is a concentrated pre-wash snow foam, IronX dissolves iron fallout with an acid-free, pH-balanced formula and turns purple-red as it works, and TRIX removes iron and tar in one go. For paint correction, ClearCut takes out scratches as deep as P1000, Fixer cuts and finishes in a single step, and Reflect refines the finish before a coating. Eraser then removes polishing oils so the coating can bond.

Protect. CQ UK 3.0 is CarPro's consumer ceramic coating: 70% SiO2, applied from 3 to 40°C and rated for 18 to 24 months. There are dedicated coatings for film and plastic trim (CQUARTZ Skin), glass (GForce, built on CarPro's DQUARTZ nano-diamond technology) and leather (CQuartz Leather 2.0), plus quicker options such as HydrO2, a spray-on, rinse-off silica sealant rated for up to 6 months.

Maintain. Reset is the pH-neutral shampoo made for coated cars and dilutes 1:500. Hydro Foam washes and leaves a silica layer in one step, ECH2O is a waterless wash and quick detailer, and MFX restores the absorbency of your microfibre towels.

Shop CarPro by type: ceramic coatings, snow foam, iron and fallout removers, compounds and polishes, paint sealants and glass coatings.

Where to start with CarPro

New to CarPro? Start with the products that make the biggest difference to a normal wash: Reset, Lift and a pair of Dilute bottles, which have printed ratios from 1:1 to 1:30 so every concentrate is mixed correctly. WheelX is the CarPro product our customers buy most often: a ready-to-use wheel cleaner that is safe on coated, chrome and powder-coated wheels.

Ready to protect your paint? Work in this order:

  • Wash with Lift and Reset, then remove iron fallout with IronX.
  • Polish if the paint needs it, from ClearCut for deeper marks to Reflect for a final finish.
  • Wipe each panel with Eraser and apply CQ UK 3.0 one panel at a time.
  • Keep the coating at its best with Reset and a top-up of HydrO2 or Hydro Foam every few months.

For tyres and trim, DarkSide and Perl are the favourites: Perl dilutes up to 5:1, from a rich finish on tyres to a satin look on plastics, and ReTyre cleans tyres and rubber before you dress them.
