CQUARTZ Gliss Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What does Gliss means?
A. Gliss in French means “to be slippery"

Q. Does Gliss perform as sealant or a coating?

A. It is a highly oleophobic CQUARTZ coating.

Q. Can it be used on top of Reload, Essence Primer, or Essence Plus?

A. No

Q. Can you use it as stand alone coat?

A. Yes its very easy to use and will bond well on bare paint.

Q. Do you need to use Eraser pre coat?

A. If applied as a top coat to a fresh ceramic coating, then no. If applied to bare paint then yes.

Q. Can we use CQUARTZ or DQUARTZ on top of Gliss 2.0?

A. No (other way around)

Q. Can Gliss 2.0 be applied over a previously coated car which was done a few months ago?

A. Yes, if well cleaned and prepared.

Q. Is there a time that you should not apply Gliss 2.0 on top of a CQUARTZ coating?

A. There is a time at which Gliss is not going to bond as well to a weathered coating. The exact point at which that happens is impossible to say due to all the variables involved and the impossibility of testing each one. What I CAN say is that we tested it on top of a 2-month-old coating with good results and it seems to have bonded well. The prep we would recommend for an aged coating if you are not polishing is as follows:

Wash with CARPRO Reset.
Decontaminate with Iron X if necessary.
Use CARPRO Tar X (this will pull the oils out of Reload that will prevent Gliss from bonding. Use in shade, do not allow to dwell, and be careful around sensitive plastics)
a. Spray and wipe in Tar X into panel with microfiber and immediately neutralize the Tar X by either rewashing the panel or using a waterless wash such as CARPRO Ech2o (make sure to neutralize Tar X before moving onto next panel) .
Give it one more good wash with CARPRO Reset.
Wipe down with CARPRO Eraser.
Gliss application *If applying over an old coating there is a possibility Gliss may haze up the next day and you can see the application marks. If this happens wiping down the vehicle with CARPRO Ech2o or a damp microfiber will remove it.*
If you choose to apply Reload over Gliss than you must wait a minimum of 12 hrs to allow Gliss to cure.
