Video: NEW CarPro CQuartz Lite : EASY TO APPLY DIY ceramic coating!
Hi guys!
This week, I bring you a brand new easy to apply DIY ceramic coating from CarPro! It's called CQuartz LITE.
- should last 6+ months
- only 4 hours curing time
- no flashing time, you apply and buff off (level the coating) immediately
- can be used as a stand alone product or as a topper for existing coatings
- can be layered (2 or 3 layers recommended)
- based on CQUK 3.0 technology, and Lite has 45% Sio2/Tio2 content
- one of the easiest true ceramic coatings to apply
- comes in a 150 ml bottle (5oz) for $45 USD (very economical)
In my video, I present the product, and show you all the steps to properly apply it and you will see the final results, plus we'll do a hydrophobic properties test.
Enjoy the video!

The Lite kit is 54.99$ USD (150ml) (depending where you look) and a CQUK 3.0 kit (50ml) is 74.99$ USD on average.
So Lite is waaaaay cheaper if you factor in the Lite bottle is 150ml. You get three times more product than UK 3.0, for 20$ USD less.
So it's two products meant for two different types of people.

I don't think so. Reload only has 5% SiO2 and this has 45% (approx numbers)
That means the Lite will have a harder shell and probably last longer
I used Reload as a maintenance product for my cars with CQuartz Pro coating

how do u use reload without it streaking? I have CQUK 3.0 on my car and tried using reload as a topper. It streaks like there’s no tomorrow. I followed the methods mentioned on various detailing forums and YouTube and stuff and no luck.

My A7 is Black and has CQuartz Pro on it. I use Reload once a month and don't have any issues with streaking. Make sure you have the latest formula as CarPro changed the formula a year or 2 ago to reduce streaks. Also I have very plush microfiber towels that I only use with Reload and then wash right after using with a microfiber wash. Point being I want the towels to be very clean to prevent streaks.
I spray on the Reload directly on the car (light mist) then wipe with one of the towels. Then do a final wipe with another towel that is clean. I kept rotating the towels, but after finished I probably use 6-8 towels
Hope that helps
