    Thank you Michael for the quick review.
    Few notes. :
    On headlights of it's not too cold you can do each layer with 30min gap.
    About a comment someone wrote here, using clearcoat on plastic surface, this is the worst thing to do since the clearcoat solvents carriers used damage the polycarbonate plastic and eventually it will crack during time.

      Since the block uv is hard to show instant, we will show soon accelerate test with harsh uv lights to show how it protects from fading

    One that I use is Majestic Solutions Headlight Lens Clear Coat with high solids and blocks UV and lasts over 3 years which self levels, and Meguiars Headlight Coating also blocks UV for up to a year. Both are in spray formula. The one from Majestic Solutions is less than $30.

    Carpro are just such a cool brand. Quietly making amazing stuff without making any noise on social media. DLight is something I'm very interested in. Both of my car are heavily PPF'D and have different Carpro coatings on them. I'm wondering if it'll go on top of Dquartz Go and then top off DLight with skin for thee ultimate in protective and slick layers?

      @@79blustone I think that is too many layers of coatings. I would go with either DQ Go or DLight and the option of Skin. DLight is based on the same technology as DQ Go.

      @MikeGDetailing I've got Dquartz Go one one car and it's doing perfectly well, although it's got some marring on the wheels I've noticed today when winterising them. I guess the hardness scale in this one does have limitations. Maybe the professional version is better. I'm wondering what the levels of UV protection is like in DLight and DQ Go are?

    • @TheBreakfastLover
      @TheBreakfastLover Місяць тому

      Hydro Lite is supposed to be a 6 year coating, and Yvan said it's to be suitable on PPF. So 6 months durability on PPF is pretty alarming.

      @chrisbradley3224 Місяць тому +1

      I think we also need to talk about what PPF it was installed on. A lot of PPF now is already coated, and this may affect the results. I'm not defending C6 because I've seen far longer out of Mohs Evo on PPF, but it is something to note.
