    Hi guys

    My thoughts on C-Quartz (6 months). It has better durability than polymer sealant. Less road grime sticks on the surfaces, so you can go cleaner for longer. Look wise, the paint is wet and crazy reflection.

    Cons are that light rain falls, where water is not sheeting, you will have water spots. I saw no water spots when I had Dodo SN as a topper ( was worn in 2 months), so I suggesting topping with some wax after 1 week of the application.

    enjoy the video and photos :)

    Looks good Franky. I applied the remaining Cquartz I had to my girlfriends Scion TC at the beginning of the new year. I need to do a maintenance wash on it soon and top it with Reload its been dirty since.:shakehead:

    thanks to the OP for the update. I have Cquartz on one of r my rides . it has been on there for 15 months. washed it the other day and noticed the first signs of a couple of slight water spots. pulled out some JW prime and removed them by hand in a couple of minutes. figured they were in the top half of the coating and not etched into it and sure enough they were removed with ease. 15 months and going well , I can see this getting to the 2 year mark but more than likely I will be removing it in a month or so. impressive stuff so far for me.
