Expert Notes

EliXir is a quick way to add ceramic-style gloss and beading between washes. The idea came from CarPro fans mixing products, and CarPro refined it into one ready-to-use bottle.

Use less than you think. A light mist on half a panel, then a second towel for the final wipe, gives a clear finish without streaks.

On a coated car EliXir works as a top-up between washes, and on an uncoated car it adds a layer of ceramic gloss and water beading. CarPro US says it works well on both, and on many materials.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Paintwork
  • Ceramic coated paint
  • Uncoated paint

Caution: Spray sparingly and work half a panel at a time to avoid streaks.

How To Use

Apply

  1. Shake well.
  2. Spray EliXir sparingly over half a panel. Too much causes streaking.
  3. Spread it straight away, buff in and buff off with a microfibre towel.

Finish

  1. Give it a final wipe with a separate, dry towel and check for streaks.
  2. Wipe once more with a fresh microfibre towel to remove any remaining dirt.
  3. Move to the next panel and repeat around the car.
  4. Finish with a final light wipe using a fresh, clean towel.

Top Tip: Use EliXir sparingly. Over-application causes streaking, so a light mist per half panel is enough.

Performance Benefits

  • Adds fast gloss
  • Boosts slickness
  • Improves water behaviour
  • Works on coated vehicles
  • Ready to use formula
  • Useful after washing

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Use two towels: one to spread and buff, one for the final wipe.
  2. Work half a panel at a time.
  3. Use it after a wash to top up gloss and beading.
  4. On a coated car, use it to refresh the gloss between washes.
  5. Shake the bottle well before each use.
  6. If you see streaks, wipe the panel again with a dry towel.
  7. Spray it onto the panel, not onto the towel.

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.
