As someone who has it, don't get Ceramic Pro, not worth the price. CQuartz has 15% more silica in it anyways and has been surface tension. I wouldn't look past CQuartz or CQuartz UK. Easy to use, and cheap compared to others.
But, in the end, how a coating looks and performs is in direct relation to preparation of the install. Coating a surface that isn't 99% defect free is almost a waste of ones time. I think.
Being able to compare CQuartz cars and CP cars side by side for about a year now, I will say that the CQuartz performs better. I have some battle scars that need removed after winter, the Ceramic Pro will most likely come off in this process also. I plan to try CarPro Gliss come spring if that's the case.
Washing a coated car is easier and a bit faster, that is true. With a coating comes different responsibilities though, like I can almost bet whatever shampoo you are currently using is a coating no-no. Chances are. Also, if you are someone who like waxing and claying and doing all that stuff on your personal car, don't get a coating, you'll get bored with life lol.
Good luck. Once last piece of advice, if I could go back in time, I would've rather put the $1600 towards more PPF in addition to my front clip. PPF is one of the greatest inventions ever. It has saved my hide more then once. Or should I say, my car's hide. Ha.
Merry Western Culture Holiday Season everyone.
