CQuartz vs Avalon King
Anyone have experience with these? In particular ease of application and durability?
Have never used ceramic before, though I’ve detailed a few dozen cars. I’m located in a hot and humid climate so interested in flash time. Any feedback is appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've used Cquartz but not Avalon king. It was easy to use and should last around 2 years depending on how it's cared for.
I've also used optimum gloss coat. It's currently on my car and used with hyper-seal as a dry-aid. Consider grabbing Carpro reload with Cquartz(or the accompanying topper for Avalon king) as a maintenance product. It will keep the resin on the coating in peak condition. Humid conditions you reference the shorter flash time. I'd start by testing on a lower panel section first to see how it flashes. Avalon king application instructions suggest a flash time from 1-5 minutes depending on temperature. In your case it'll be a short flash time around 1 minute. https://avalonking.com/blog/how-to-a...ramic-coating/ Quote:
Cquartz UK 3.0 is around 2-4 minute flash time. https://www.carpro-us.com/protection...-3-0-30ml-kit/ Quote:

Thank you for the thorough reply. I have been reading through the instructions and reviews, but it’s always good to hear real world results.

you can save a huge amount if you use devin niemelas discount if you decide to go avalon king. search him on youtube for the code, it cuts the price of one bottle in half i think. ive purchased avalon king before, im sure its no different from any other ceramic coat. unless you want to get the good good stuff that only authorized shops can get/install, think its call opticoat.

Appreciate that tip. I’m leaning toward CQuartz at this point but still looking at reviews.
