- This video picks up where we left off...Menzerna 400 did the heavy lifting, removing major damage. Now, we continue on with the entire correction and protection package with CarPro Essence to refine and finish, CarPro CQuartz Nano Coat as the base coating, and finally...CarPro Reload as the topper or sacrificial layer.

Do you want more coating videos?
Apex Detail yes
Apex Detail YES!!!
Apex Detail sure, that would be great!!
Absolutely!!
Yes! Yes!
reload giving 6 months protection is a pretty huge stretch. As someone who's gone through 4-5 bottles of reload, it usually lasts about a month or so, a couple months if the vehicle is not driven daily.
3 1/2 years later I'm doing research and what do I see but an entry from Brian and his library of detailing information. Thanks again for everything you do pal 🍻
Thanks Brian. Applied CQuartz to my silver 2004 Honda Insight (hybrid) a month ago. Performed paint correction with a 3M compound/polish, IPA prep, cQuartz, then Reload. This is my first nano application, on a car that is not garaged and sitting under big oak trees. I'm really impressed so far with the protection. Makes the washing cycle so much easier, the the slickness to touch is holding well. Can't wait to see where this combo stands after 6 months. Your process is helpful. Will have to try Essence next time when I do my other car.
Another excellent video, Brian. Yes, more coating videos and having us see the results in sunlight was a very good idea.
Oldman Xan will do!😁👍🏻
Hi Brian! Thank you for sharing your experience in coatings.... very good
ROBERT LEDEZMA more to come! Stay tuned!!
such a great video, easy to understand and good explanation
Great job Brian, Love the CQuartz products...
Same Here!👍
Awesome results Brian, What I would like to see is your customer(s) reaction when they come to pick their vehicle up after you have done your magic!
I will try to get one of them in front of the camera!!
Yes. More coatings please. I don't get a chance to torture them, so if I could watch you do it...that would be great!
Hahahaha....I look forward to it!!!
That turned out AWESOME!!
James Biedlar 😁👍🏻
Phenomenal video Brian... stunning end result on a dark color beauty.
Absolutely love that color! Goes well with his interior.😁👍🏻
Great video I just bought a new car and the paint is surprisingly in very good condition. I am most likely going to use Essence after claying the paint and the going to apply the Coating. Thank you for the video!!
Enjoy that new ride!!😀
So when you really know how to appreciate auto detailing, oh wow looking deep at the sparkles in the paint. Great job Brian...owner should be ecstatic.
This finish is Gorgeous!!! Goes great with the interior as well.👍👍👍
Agreed ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Now. Those are the results I'm after .. fantastic work ..
Looks a bit better now.👍🏻
Wow I love dis video been waiting for you do it learn a lot from you Thks u r a great guy
Folarin Martins thank you!
Your vlogs are excellent great information
Nice work brother
Great video! Looks fantastic!!
Mikey P 😁👍🏻
Good video. Good instructions on how to apply. I started using ceramic coatings on headlights and rims. Very good protection all around.
Absolutely! A great alternative to sealants.
Whoot whoot! Thanks again Brian!!
Anytime!!
Another great turnaround W/ all the info to go w it
It turned around nicely... customer asked who's car it was... 😂😂
Black be looking so damn good it's amazing
looks amazing star lord...lol.hugh difference.once again simply amazing..
Richard Seem 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. I like to use 2x coats of Carpro CQUK 3.0, 1x coat of Gliss and 1x coat of Reload.
The black Range Rover looks great with the CarPro ceramic coating. I have a 10-year old Lexus RX-350 with metallic paint and I finished compounding with CarPro Reflect and then applied two coats of CQuartz UK. The paint looks amazing in the sunlight with incredible depth and gloss. I plan to maintain the CQUK with Reload and I expect to get several years of protection from the coating.
Absolutely! I enjoy everything the coating has to offer!
Looks beautiful Brian. I own two black vehicles and they are what I learned detailing on. My wife’s 2011 Edge looks like a brand new vehicle thanks to you!
My favorite color to work on!❤
+Apex Detail my 13 blk VW was a swirl queen till I found ur ch TY B
The best thing like I like about Uk 3.0 is the expanded temperature range. It's definitely much easier to use then the standard version. When topped with their product called Gliss you get amazing results
Absolutely....great product line all around.
Have you had many issues with gliss as a top coat? I have heard finicky application? Depending on temp at application, if you cross hatch on app it removes some of what was laid down that started to cure and you get short lasting and spotty performance. If you apply in cooler weather it applies much better. Being in the south those are fewer days.
Excellent friggin work Brian! That sun shot did it. A lot of people skimp out on doing the lowest panels (sideskirts and things like that) without thinking that even if the consumer can’t exactly point out what it is, it makes the car pop that much more. That haze was not readily apparent until you showed the 50/50 shot after essence. Definitely darkened the paint and made the rest, previously flawless looking paint look bad in comparison.
Hopefully the Go Pro I picked up gives you guys a better view at 4k res. Now I need to learn how to use it!😁
Apex Detail Hope it works out well for you!
Just..... WOW!!
Loops And Threads 😁👍🏻
Don't forget to give that awesome front licence plate a coat!! OOH RAH!
AMAZING!! that car looks fantastic. Thanks for doing this series
😃👍
Hi Brian. Thanks for great and informative videos. Am i correct in thinking you only have to use "Reload" after this and no more spray waxes or detailer?
The video was awesome !!! I am totally sold on their products as I have used different ones at different times but now its time for my start to finish on a 1966 Mustang I have restored. For the first time I used their Clearcut compound and was blown away. My bottles of 3M 1,2,3 are going to gather dust from here on out. Question - you never mentioned what you actually used as a wax and grease remove after the essence ? I don't want to use anything to strong but want to be totally prepped for the Cquartz. I would normally uses alcohol in a spray bottle but what do you suggest ? Thanks and thank you for the video
Hi great video👍🏼👍🏼...always learning something new from you.
Quick question: I bought car pro essence and will be using Meguiar’s foam pads to enhance the gloss before I coat with cquartz. I have the Meguiar’s yellow pad and the white pad...which one would you recommend to use? I was thinking the yellow?
Great video as usual! Just wondering how long did you wait until you applied the ceramic coating after essence?
Question, do you buff off before it flashes? I haven't had much luck with ceramic coatings, routinely getting high-spots.
I did the exact same process on my wife's brand new VW Golf 7.5 highline in August last year. I used an orange hexlogic pad with the essence and wow what a result. 12 months on and with only a couple of applications of reload and it's like i applied the coating yesterday. They say that the original Cquartz, as you're using here, isn't as effective as CQUK but I'm not so sure. I'll get more than two years out of it easily.
I am testing to see if there is a difference....will take a while.
How do you like hydro 2 compared to reload? I like the application method after. Maintenance wash
Question- if using carpet essence gloss enhancer, do you still need to use their eraser before the ceramic? Will the ceramic adhere given the essence has oils?
Do you go over whole care with essence before your wipe off with the prep spray on towel?
So you did essence with lake country white pad, followed by coating and reload? Not sure about the polishing part you did, as I would like to do the same..
Bryan! I would love to come spend a couple days or a week in the shop with you! Would love to learn some things from someone that is experienced! I’m in the works of starting my own detail business been doing friends and family vehicles for awhile now getting ready to advertise and dive head first into the business! Would love to come out before I do that though. I will pay you whatever you want for your knowledge! Would love to just watch you around the shop ask questions help you around the shop whatever! We could figure something out! Could be a hole mother business venture for you maybe? If not still would love to come out and learn! Much love Andrew!
Brian question where do you like to put the stickers for the Nano coating?
Hello Good afternoon, how long should I wait to apply the Reload after the two layers.
thank you
how long before you applied cquartz after using essence? i heard there is a curing time for essence as well.
Great video on the application and leveling of the coating. The results speak for themselves. I have been playing around with many of the consumer coatings and Cquartz (both versions) are at the top of my list. Essence is another nice polish and just adds that extra pop prior to a Cquartz coating. Also great tip on using a prep wipe after Essence. I do the same and recommend it as well. Looking forward to more of your coating videos.
What do think of the Gtechniq Crystal Serum? Its on the top of my list with CarPro a very close second.
Apex Detail I like Crystal Serum Light. It’s much easier to apply that’s for sure along with it being slicker. I do like the hydrophobic properties of Cquartz a bit better. Very close call between the two brands.
Gyeon Syncro is cool. The top coat Skin is pretty impressive in terms of slickness and hydrphobics.
The RANGE ROVER came out great Brian! My question: how much of the ceramic coating did you use to cover the whole vehicle? I noticed it comes in two sizes, a 30ml and 50ml...
Hello, does the carpro esscence expire or does the container have an expiration date once opened? How long does it last since I see that it has a label attached with the date of manufacture and nowhere do they explain that, thank you very much, excellent videos. Greetings.
Quick question. Should I use panel wipe after using essence, before applying a cquartz ceramic coatin???
Will the IPA remove the fillers from the Carpro essence? Thank you.
How would you rate the Cquartz vs Miyabi? Trying to decide on my next coating....
How much filling ability does this have? I have some scratches that are through to bare metal but can’t afford to get it repainted
Is it a must to use an IPA wipedown after this with it being a primer?
"I have so many layers that I wait 48 hours before applying Reload."
Curious, how many layers did you put on the Range?
Wait time in between layers?
Great video! When you say the coatings offer 2 years of protection, what exactly are they protecting against? Do they resist scratches, or do they perform more like a wax? Thanks
Self cleaning properties, Protect against etching from bird dropping, pine sap, water spots. They reduce scratching...but are not scratch proof. The improve gloss 100 percent. They guard against chemicals in between 2-12 on the pH scale.To name a few.
Looks lije Steve Carral
Can i skip the coating and go straight to reload or other sealant?
Do you do 2x time up and down and left and right passes.
🏊🏽♂️ I love it
Roger Perez 😁👍🏻
yes !! compare all 3 versions of CQuartz on the market for anyone (original, UK and 3.0) !!!
Is the product called "CQuartz Nano" or is it just the CQuartz / CQuartz UK? I'd like to try this; I like the idea of a long working time. I have Reload as a standalone protectant and it seems like a good product.
Why the ipa after essence if they call it cquartz primer ?
Okay so this has been the question for me. I have a 20 year old car, its paint is corrected and free of swirls. It has a bunch of rock chips and other minor issues. Is it still worth getting a ceramic coating?
If you plan on holding onto it for 3-5 more years... then absolutely!
With you being in the Northeast would Cquartz UK be better for protection from road salts and other corrosives? Or is that just similar and just meant for colder weather application?
I cannot confirm a distinction between the two in my testing... but it is still early on. Stay tuned.
Apex Detail in your experience what would you recommend for a prosumer coating? I live in a dusty hot desert summer and a severe winter wonderland with lots of salt. My truck is a daily driver and spends time off-road as well. Been looking at Gtechniq CSL+EXO V4 or Carpro UK 3.0 with maybe gliss, or Gyeon Synchro Kit.
Hey Brian do you mind doing a review on the Auto Fanatic wheel and tire cleaner. People are saying that it's pretty good.
Mario Chavez on the list my friend!👍🏻
Brian ... is it best to stick with one product line when correcting? Or is it ok to use other products in conjunction? Like different waxes and compounds.
I like staying within product lines. They play well together.
I figured as much
Can I use this before I use adams graphene ceramic coating?
Vou dá duas camadas do cquartz e uma do gliss , o que você ACHA ??
Doesn't Cquartz advise against using IPA/Prep after Essence? BTW a little tip, if you notice high spots even hours after applying, just reapply CQuartz on that spot again, the solvents will easily remove the high spot. I can confirm this for 24 hours later on black coat.
How long did you wait to wipe off
Amigo você tem vídeos do gliss??
These products are amazing, any one of these standalone. Keep it up, great videos.
I enjoy working with Carpro products as well 👍🏻👍🏻
Can i put cancoat after essence
Great video Brian. I read that after using essence you can just go straight to the coating...so no need for eraser. What do you recommend?
Correct. No need to wipe down.
thanks so much 👍🏻
Doesn’t carpro say you don’t need panel prep going from essence to coating?
Correct
Could I use essence plus + reload to my car with ceramic coating?
Essence plus helps fix the ceramic coating. Shines it up a little more after a year or so. Then put more reload on top
Yes
vrodx 😁👍🏻
Watch out for those Range Rover letters the silver strips right off.
Bryan how long did the entire process take.
A few days of and on. I did this between other jobs.
Brian, Can I ask you how many hours total you put into the Land Rover? The transformation was amazing. Wash, Decontaminate, compound, polish and ceramic coating.
Your thoughts on using Essence with other coatings like G Techniq's Crystal Serum Light? Any experiences? I did my daughters husbands car last week and used Essence as the finishing polish and then applied Crystal Serum Light and Exo on top of it. It came out stunning. I'm hoping it adheres right. It's an experiment. So far so good. I'm a big fan of the GTechniq coatings because they've held up well through 2 Ohio winters and still going strong on my wife and mine vehicles but I've read and heard good things about Essence. I like it as a last step polish. No one has any good info on mixing the products.
I am only in the experimentation process with that...can not recommend it as of yet.
Thank you.I'll let you know how the durability on mixing worked for me .
Roger Baron I have used CarPro Essence prior to coating 2 vehicles, one with CSL topped with Eco V3, and one topped with 2 coats of Eco V3. The coating have last very well, very surprised with the Eco V3 on how well it survived a salty Canadian winter. In both cases, I used CarPro panel wipe before coating. I just coated a third car this weekend using Essence and Eco V4, but can't talk about durability on that one yet. On the other hand, I coated a Lexus and we years ago with CQuartz and had some trouble with application as the product flash time very depending on environmental conditions, which required me to get the polisher back out on a couple of panels. Also, the CQuartz did not survive a Canadian winter!
Thank you for the info. Sounds like using Essence polish and G Techniq coatings combined is no problem.
Did you apply CQUK soon later on Essence ? I know Essence needs 12 hours...
Why did you quit Dunder Mifflin? To make these awesome vids.
Qual o tempo da cura do cquartz?
24 hr
Apex Detail cura TOTAL ?
What's ur professional opinion on ceremic coating,is it worth doing it?
Yes indeed....If you find the right person to apply them...that will not rip you off. They are beneficial. But some applicatiors way over price and scam maintenance packages.
Apex Detail I live in Los Angeles,do u know any company recommend? I have 2017 mustang Shelby gt 350 black coLor.
Believe it is time for a ceramic coating primer shootout! What do you think?
How does Cquartz compare to Cquartz UK 3.0?
The main difference is that Cquatz contains Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) as well as Silicon Dioxide (SiO2). It is often referred to as Classic or TiO2. The TiO2 gives it more reflectivity and stain resistance. Looks great on lighter colored paints. CQUK 3.0 is the harder of the two coatings and has been recently updated to have better stain resistance. CQUK 3.0 is also more wipe on wipe off as it flashes faster than Cquartz Classic/TiO2.
Great post Mike. Yes... I do a half a panel then wipe off. Gets tacky just a bit quicker. As for durability... cant confirm. Have half my work truck coated with both. But its only been 3 months. Stay tuned!😁
Thanks guys. Seems either is a good choice. May try UK as my first coating
Take a look here czcams.com/video/cTjO8ZotlN0/video.html
and here czcams.com/video/tQR48BGdb0c/video.html
Why do All CZcams detailers only show what they are doing on a flat panel...? I would much rather see you polish and coat in and around those letters on the hood... But besides that, if the Essence is a primer for the coating, why wipe it off with and IPA ?
most people cry over using polish with fillers in it who cares ,because isn't wax ,etc filler as well if it works in real world use it...
Richard Seem 😁👍🏻
Those polisher are such crap...
The torq? It has its place. Some would place it in a trash can. I however like it to jewel and apply sealants.😁
@@apexdetail85 I just did my car with a Torq. It’s not good for deep cutting , it will stall . But also , it works good for zero swirl marks . Works well with mild cut and polish 👍
