well on my detailing forums i constantly get introduced to new products and try to try most of them to see what can be improved on protection side of detail. Polishes have been around and dont change much, cant say the same for protection products. this kind of product is very popular in asia and japan but only now started to make it here, its actualy imported so only one place in US sells it
product called CQuartz, its nano ceramic based coating system which is like super sealant, company claims it will last about 2 years with proper maintenance or less if its gona be polished or washed improperly. purpose of this product is to protect the cars finish and makes it easier to wash the car, soft paint will benefit from this coating since it resists scratches better then your car clear coat, application of product is tricky and surface has to be perfect and COMPLETELY oil free (Dawn is recommended for to remove all oils, P21S TAW can be used as well).
i got the product from distributor wetsanded panels since i want to do my whole car and applied product (took me 3 times to get it right, removing product inbetween tries but finaly got it right, here is results

keep in mind fender was washed with Dawn and CG citruswash

Thats amazing looks well worth it  ;D

Looks good Misha.  So it's supposed to last 2 years?  How new is this product and how many people have been able to report the results after a few months?

well its new for us, in japan this stuff been used for a while now, there are bunch of videos on youtube in japanees for similar product, i know dealerships offer something like this as well. this particular product is being imported from japan pretty much. i did some research on technology they using and its not new at all, i guess they just starting to get it for auto use
