CQ UK 3.0 ceramtic coating full DIY

Hey guys!

I wanted to share my latest DIY video, of the full CarPro kit and the new CQ UK 3.0 formula! I was waiting and watching to do a full ceramic coating on my car, and this was too good to pass up so bit the bullet for the full kit.

For most enthusiasts, I probably go into more detail than some folks need (2 bucket washing etc) but wanted to show the full process from start to finish. The results so far are just gorgeous, and while time consuming absolutely worth it! With the full kit, I can maintain it as well, so it should last a good long time and be worth the investment of time and effort. The new CQ 3.0 is supposed to be just amazing, and not even fully cured yet it looks like glass!

Let me know what you think, and I will post photos as well once everything is cured and perfect some time tomorrow.

I was able to get the car out into some sun this afternoon, roughly 24 hours of curing finally done!

Looks great!

Planning to take my new F32 in for CQuartz coating this month. Nice to see one in my color all shined up!

The one thing I realized is how hard the clear coat is on a BMW, it was a solid 8 hours of polishing alone. I have plans to put gliss on top of the cquartz eventually. I want to see if I can get a wetter look out of it

Also thank you for the Video, i followed your steps and application went great
