There are a lot of good options I use the cquartz as a good buddy who is a high end detailed recommended me to it and it works very well.


I'm looking into a cermaic coating for matte and satin finishes currently
I would be very interested in this for my new M600s when they finally are done if you are able to do ceramic coating on satin black.

I saw a picture of tbe cquartz on mqtte wheels, it seemed to deepen the color. You can see the finish was matte but it added a layer of shine on top. Ill try to find the pic.

Edit: ok i lied on this one, the guy i saw do it had a matte bronze topped with a clear coat then cquartz'ed. The clear coat here is probably what added the depth.

Here is before the 1 cquarts:

To me, the bottom ones have a tiny bit more gloss to them, especially around the rim edge. In the se ond post you can see how much the gloss coat changes it.
