Hi, with regard to Ceramic Coatings, I used Cquartz Pro on my last vehicle because, unfortunately, it is always parked on the road. I had the vehicle for two years and took it to be foam washed every 6-weeks by the company that applied the coating. It performed better than expected. The light hedge rash marks just polished off when the car was taken for it's routine wash. They still advise you to remove bird lime straight away.
The high gloss finish brings out the metallic particles in the paint. Water just runs off when you drive along. People comment about the depth of shine, which is nice.
I was so impressed that when I purchased my Macan in November 2020, I had Ceramic Coated with Cquartz Finest Reserve. This product is Infra Red Cured to the body in two coats. This gives 3-years protection and comes with a written guarantee.
The wheels and callipers prepped and coated with Dlux Glass Coated with Flybyforte. Brake dust rinses off the wheels with just soapy water, which must be more forgiving than using harsh chemicals.
The Interior Leather and carpets coated with CQuartz Fabric and Cquartz Leather Treatment. I had this done on the previous vehicle as well.
I have not used any other Ceramic Coatings, so can not draw any comparison to other products. I did do a lot of research on the internet which influenced my product choice and by chance we have an Agent on The Isle of Wight, JW Autoshine, who prepare all makes of prestige vehicles to show standard if required.
