Ceramic Coatings – Paint Sealants
After your paint has been corrected it’s time to add some protection. Traditional paste waxes have fallen to the way side over the last few years making room for more advanced synthetic polymer paint sealants, silica spray and ceramic coatings. We have tested several paint protection products over the years and chose a few that we feel are the best, most durable and reasonably priced.
Three of our personal favorites are P&S Bead maker Paint Sealant, Car Pro Reload Silica Spray and CQuartz UK 3.0 Ceramic Coating. These three paint protection products are very hydrophobic and effective in protecting your vehicle from harsh contaminants from several months to years. P&S Bead maker is included in our wash and seal, exterior and full detailing services. Car Pro Reload and CQuartz UK are both available as an upgrade.
P&S Bead maker
Bead maker uses binding polymer monomer technology to produce a water beading, brilliant, long lasting finish while including UV Protection. What makes Bead Maker different is the surface migrating molecule that attaches to the paint surface of a vehicle.
Once attached this molecule cross-links and polymerizes on the surface thus building a hydrophobic durable layer of protection.
P&S Bead maker is not only used as a paint sealant but also works great on your glass as a rain repellent. It’s very hydrophobic, improves visibility and prevents hard water spots.
CQuartz UK 3.0
CQuartz coatings have been at the forefront of innovation in Nanotech ceramic coatings for years utilizing a variety of Sio2 nanoparticles (Quartz) for swirl resistance and gloss enrichment, Tio2 (Titanium) to enhance depth and “self-cleaning” and a variety of other materials modified to bring forth the ultimate in functionality and aesthetics in paint proctection!
CQuartz leaves a thick glossy ceramic shell of protection that bonds to the paint and protects it from bugs, tree sap, bird droppings, brake dust, and the suns damaging UV rays for years.While dust and dirt sticks to wax and traditional sealants it slides off of CQuartz much easier allowing the vehicle to stay clean longer and wash off easier.
One of the most important features in your vehicle staying clean is the ability of the protective layer to release dirt and water. CQuartz features an extremely hydrophobic upper layer which allows dust, dirt, and water to slide off easily. While many products may bead or release dirt on some level, they do not compare to the dirt release properties of CQuartz advancements and industry leading sliding angle and repellency.
The incredible CQuartz UK formula is an extremely concentrated Sio2 coating offering intense depth similar to a Carnauba wax but with the properties of our nanotech CQuartz coating! Other ceramic coatings have far less SiO2 (Quartz) in the product however CQUK has 70% SiO2 with 99.9% purity. This is the first ever coating which has this concentration or purity of quartz!
The pure quality ensures the richness and depth over the surface, and also guarantees a long lasting coating with extreme strength and water-repellency. Once the CQuartz UK solution meets the open air it cures and forms a hard ceramic quartz coating on the surface. Expect up to two years of durability.

Ceramic Wash Offerings: Utilizing Car Pro Reset & Ech20 / Ceramic Maintenance Wash: Utilizing Car Pro Reset & Reload.
Ceramic Coating Product Reset
Reset Shampoo was developed as the perfect partner to nanotechnology sealants and ceramic coatings with cleaning properties tailored to their unique needs.
Reset utilizes Intelligent pH Surfactants, which feature the strength of an alkaline cleaner whilst remaining pH-neutral in solution and helps to break down dirt and traffic films in order to maintain the coating’s hydrophobicity.
Combined with strong lubrication, and easy, residue-free rinsing, economical dilution ratio (500:1), and high foaming action. Reset is the perfect shampoo for maintaining your CQuartz coated vehicle’s beauty.
Ceramic Coating Product Reload
Reload packs the glass-like gloss, hydrophobicity and dirt repellency of Silica Nanotechnology in a convenient spray-on, wipe-off sealant. Originally formulated to maintain the protection and finish quality of CQuartz coatings.
Reload has also proven itself as a stand-alone sealant, where it can offer up to 6 months of protection on daily drivers. Reload’s easy to use waterborne formula can be applied to all vehicle surfaces, and even on damp surfaces, making it perfect for quickly topping up your vehicle’s protection and shine.
CarPro ECH2O Concentrate
Waterless Wash & High Gloss Detail Spray
ECH2O is an entirely new waterless cleanser and gloss-enhancer built on 2 years of research and development by CarPro Chemicals! ECH2O was designed to work in harmony with ceramic coatings and even provides easy cleaning of non-coated or waxed surfaces!
Based on a SiO2 hybrid framework and an eco-friendly organic lubricant solution, ECH2O safely cleans and glosses a variety of exterior vehicle surfaces with ease!
Paint and chrome take on an entirely new level of gloss and reflection with this incredible formula and better yet it is easy to use even in extreme heat and direct sun on painted surfaces! Our solution to providing a swirl free and eco friendly waterless experience is a blend of proprietary lifting agents combined with natural organic extracts and lubricants.
The secret to the safe cleansing abilities provided by ECH2O is a combination of its modified high gloss SiO2 component and its innate cleansing abilities, which easily removes dust and light dirt whilst leaving behind a wet, glass-like surface!
The finish left by ECH2O mimics the incredible properties that have become synonymous with CarPro SiO2 sealants and CQuartz coatings throughout the years!
In conjunction with a quality microfiber towel, the lubricants aid in safely removing the larger particles from the surface while the remnants of the ECH2O solution become an active cleaner across the surface and begin to loosen any particulates that were left behind. Before the final step (noted in the product directions) the solution may dry to a fine haze indicating it is ready to wipe off any remaining product effortlessly!
