Best Nano Sealant

[PonyGrrrl]

A new term that need explaining! The shop I got a quote from for $1400 still insist the price is the same even thought the "Correction" process has been done. He also says they never wet sand as all new vehicles clear coat is minimal at best....so what is the paint correction process used by shops. Does anybody getting Nano Coating done ever ask for a detailed process?? He goes on to say a minimal amount of orange peel found on all new cars will disappear when the product used "Levels" all those areas.

What did your shop actually do to prepare your car for the Nano Coating you chose?? I will be applying CQuartz UK this month.

Find a different shop, he's b.s.ing you. The coating will not make the orange peel magically disappear. Any imperfections in the paint that are not corrected prior to application will still be visible beneath the coating. One of the reasons the coatings have such a deep shine is due to the proper paint correction done before application. If there is orange peel before the CQuartz is applied there will be orange peel after the coating is applied. I still have very little orange peel after everything was done because it is too risky to remove it all and have little to no clear coat remaining and I didn't want to have to have it sprayed with more clear coat. It's definitely 80% better after polishing was completed.

I paid $650 for paint correction and application of CQuartz. My detailer gave mine a foam bath, iron X, clay bar, polished (wet sand) with Carpro Essence Extreme, I believe he did a 50/50 Isi rub to remove all oils, and then CQuartz. He sent me pictures after each step and he showed me the clay bar he used to show me how little debris was in the paint prior to polishing.

My detailer is very honest and very good at it. I'm very happy with the CQuartz and won't hesitate to have it done again when the time comes. Everyone compliments the depth of the shine, even when she's dirty!

I had a different shop quote me $1800 for Modesta with paint correction and I thought that was ridiculous. Even if Modesta lasts twice as long and I have to do CQuartz every two years I'm still paying less. I have seen cars with Modesta and the depth of shine didn't look any better to me but that can also be due to the prep before application.

Modesta appears more of a separate surface than an integrated coating imo

That's being suuuuuper picky, I realize.

Understood. Still sounds overpriced, imo.

Ok , one final question before I pull the trigger. So it lasts for about 2 years..give or take. Then you "strip and redo ! What's involved in this process?

 

[PatrickGT]

You would just polish it off. It is bonded to the paint, so basically the same process you'd use to polish clear coat.

I had gtechniq crystal serum installed. It is a 7year coating. I had gtechniq EXO put on after. The results are astounding. The detailer used to use cquartz but switched after seeing what gtechniq can do.

yeah i had gtechniq crystal serum installed on mine 7 months ago and love it. My detailer uses both and recommended crystal serum over cquartz

Agree, I am going with Gtechniq as well. The shine is just stupid.

I see it is very shiny however i do see a fair amount of the factory orange peel in the pics. What did they do for their paint correction process??

My Black one has been wet sanded and polished and almost 98% of the orange peel is gone. This is before I CQuartz UK the car in a couple of weeks. I have a few more small areas that I will wet sand and polish before I coat it.

That new shine is deep. I though the car was navy bc it even is reflecting the color of the sky.
