Why Carpro

Feel free to contact us and we can arrange for a Finest Installer to travel or be flown to you. We may also have an Installer in the process of being Authorized in your area.

12-24 hours after your vehicle was coated it can be exposed to water. If wet before that time water should be blown off or safely wiped off before it dries on the surface. No water should touch your vehicle period for at least 2 hours in optimal temperatures.

You should wait a minimum of 5 days before washing with soap or using cleaners however bugs or bird bombs can be removed asap as directed below.

Not if you care about your perfect finish! Drive through car washes have sharp, hard, dirty bristles that can severely swirl your paint.

Never allow a car dealership to wash your vehicle. They do not understand how to, nor do they have the time or equipment to do so without introducing swirls into your perfect finish.

No, no coating can prevent rock chips however it will protect the paint from road rash caused by tiny sand fragments at high speed. For rock chips ask your Finest Installer about application of a ppf film after polishing and before application of Finest.

This depends on how you care for your vehicle.

Please see the Testimonials page located above. We have shared some of our Finest customers’ stories there.

The short answer is just about everything. There are many differences between CQuartz and CQ Finest. While both are glass coatings Finest offers greater gloss, dust and dirt resistance, fine swirl resistance, a slick to the touch feel, more resistance to water spots and the environment, and FINEST is offered only through Authorized Installers who have developed their skills and take the utmost pride in their work.

If you do not have your installer maintain your vehicle we recommend using the CarPro Merino Wool Wash Mitt with CarPro Reset and dry with a Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy towel. Ask your installer for tips or training on how to safely and properly wash a vehicle or go to www.carproforum.com for further support and how to videos.

No, you should not clay your vehicle. Now that it is coated, regular washing will remove contaminants easily and bonded contaminants will become rare. In the case that bonded contaminants do collect, CarPro Iron X will easily dissolve them without hurting your coating. Consult your Authorized Installer.

Yes, we highly recommend CarPro Reload. Reload is an inorganic quartz sealant with SiO2 in a water based formula. Reload adds slickness and gloss to your paint and can be utilized to maintain peak showroom shine and slickness.

Finest does resist swirls from washing better than any other product on the market. No ceramic coating will be able to prevent swirls 100% but with proper care and technique and the Finest coating you can drastically reduce them. The most important thing you can do is use the supplies we have recommended above, and ask your Finest Installer or Corey at 386-259-0759 to show you the proper method of washing.

Yes, while we would recommend the washing routine already described here for best practice, you can use a touchless wash. We do however recommend doing a little research on the touchless you deal with as many use extremely caustic chemicals that aren’t good for some of the materials on your vehicle and they also leave residue that will affect the way water and dirt will stay off your vehicle when Finest is allowed to perform on its own.

No, Finest is extremely resistant to both low and high temperatures.

Driving or parking in the sun has only positive effects on your coating helping it to fully cure even faster from the heat.

Over time contaminants can build and affect the coating. The good news is a simple treatment of Iron X will dissolve the contaminants and a spray on/wipe off CarPro Reload treatment will revitalize and return the upper hydrophobic layer to its former glory. Reload is water based but also contains SiO2 to easily repair the coating if needed.

It’s quite simple once you know what to do, however you should allow your Finest Installer to show you the best method of application or read the best method here.

Yes! In fact it will even help protect it from yellowing, fine swirls, and dirt.

Yes, your Finest installer will polish your vehicle using specific combinations of pads and polishes to create a beautiful shine. After this step they will apply two coats of CQ Finest, which will most improve the gloss even beyond the amazing level they achieve through polishing! If properly cared for this gloss will last a minimum of two years.
